The former James Madison coach won't underestimate the Panthers, specifically their starting quarterback
MIAMI, FL - Just a day prior to FIU head coach Mike MacIntyre's weekly press conference previewing their week one matchup between the Panthers and Indiana Hoosiers, first year head coach Curt Cignetti spoke about the Panthers, primarily quarterback Keyone Jenkins.. "Extremely dangerous quarterback. Dual-threat kind of guy who throws the ball well, extends plays, can run and we'll have to do a great job on him.
For the newly-hired Big Ten head coach, he keys in on how the defensive line will need to pressure Jenkins to keep him in the pocket to force bad throws. Luckily for the Hoosiers, the Panthers offensive line struggled last season, giving Indiana the advantage. "He's an extremely capable passer," said Cignetti. "When he gets out of the pocket, he does a really nice job of extending plays and even though he's a good athlete, he can tuck it and run and gain a lot of yards. He's gonna look to throw first and then does a nice job of finding people when he extends plays. We gotta win up front with our defensive line. We gotta put pressure on him, keeping him in the pocket and not give him much time to throw. We gotta get to him.
