Interception secures FIU's 24-21 win over Middle Tennessee

MIAMI -- Olin Cushion III intercepted Asher O'Hara 's pass in the end zone with 34 seconds left, securing FIU's 24-21 win over Middle Tennessee on Saturday night. James Morgan 's 23-yard TD pass to CJ Worton made it 24-21 for the Golden Panthers (4-2, 2-0 Conference USA) with 3:55 left in the game. Morgan was 27 of 36 for 311 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Worton had five catches for 113 yards and a score. O'Hara converted a fourth-and-10 with a 28-yard pass that got the Blue Raiders (3-3, 2-1) to the FIU 15 before the costly pick a few plays later in the final minute. O'Hara replaced Middle Tennessee's career passing leader, Brent Stockstill , who limped to the medical tent after the first play of the second quarter and did not return. Jose Borregales kicked a career-long 53-yard field goal that pulled the Golden Panthers within 14-13 before the end of the first half.
