DENTON, Texas — Seven overtimes were not necessary this time around for FIU.

After losing in an NCAA record seven overtimes two years ago at North Texas, the Golden Panthers needed just two quarters to rout the Mean Green en route to a 42-10 victory Saturday night at Fouts Field.

FIU got a breakout performance from its offense, a third consecutive solid game from its defense and a record-setting night from freshman receiver T.Y. Hilton, who scored two touchdowns and had 145 receiving yards.
