Samuel and Maxwell will once again spearhead the Panther American Sports Network. Prior to kickoff, the Panthers will be “We knew out of high school that [Maxwell] had the potential offense against the Blue Raiders, as freshman running back Alex holding senior day festivities to honor those who will be playing to be a really good player,” said Head Coach Ron Turner. “He’s Gardner continues to recover from a shoulder injury.

Smith leads the team in receptions (49), touchdown receptions (5) and receiving yards (555). Redshirt senior Glenn Coleman leads all wide receivers with 21 catches for 452 yards and three touchdowns. He and all other seniors will be honored prior to the game. The Panthers enter Saturday’s contest ranked 46 in the nation in total defense. Senior safety Demarkus Perkins leads the team with 60 tackles. Junior defensive end Michael Wakefield leads the team with 8 sacks and ranks No. 16 in the nation with 8.0 sacks per game. The captain of the secondary is redshirt junior cornerback Richard Leonard. Leonard leads the team with five interceptions and four fumbles. He also leads all defenders with 3 touchdowns. The Blue Raiders are coming off a 27-7 home loss to Brigham Young University, putting them at 5-4 . Much like Old Dominion, Middle Tennessee has struggled to stop opposing offenses. The Blue Raiders are allowing nearly 500 yards of total offense per game. Look for Samuel and Maxwell to rack up a great deal of yards on the ground. “These guys are much more physical [than Old Dominion],” said Turner. “It’s a different front. We’re not gonna run the ball 55 times. We’ve gotta have some balance.” Quarterback Austin Grammer captains the Blue Raider offense. He has thrown for 12 touchdowns while completing over 65 percent of his passes in 2014. The Blue Raiders run a two running back system with Reggie Whatley and Jordan Parker. Both backs are averaging over 4.5

The 2014 Comic Convention will take place at the Biscayne Bay Campus on Thursday, Nov. 20, and take advantage of the newly renovated Wolfe University Center building. The Comics Club is sponsoring as well as taking charge of the entire event, which is funded by the Student Organi- zations Council at BBC. Collaborating with the club is the Campus Wine to Water Club and the BBC Bookstore. Many students do not agree with the idea of it being held on the North Campus as it poses an obstacle for most students positioned on the main campus. Deja Ramdass, sophomore chemistry major, loves anime and comics, who knew of Comic Con last year, however, could not attend because it was in BBC. This year she still hopes to attend. “It’s the main reason I don’t go,” said Ramdass. “I’d have to take the FIU bus which isn’t free.” Regardless of the location of Comic Con, all students Maria Soledad Lorenzino/The Beacon are welcome to attend.
