Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.
Player percentiles
Florida International reads strongest in passing EPA allowed (top 33%) and explosive plays allowed (top 36%); the crux lives in red-zone finish, where Florida International sits at the 9th percentile.

Hidden math · special situations
Home-field advantage · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Florida International is worth +4.4 points more at home than on the road.
Middle of FBS, 56th percentile of 133 programs
39% at home, 22% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (15-23 home, 10-35 away). Interval ±4.5.
The stadium and how the home edge is measured
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge. The books use about 3. Per-team versions were tested and did not hold up (why). Against the closing line, Florida International has beaten the number by −0.9 more at home than away over 90 games. That is inside the ±7.1 that many games can resolve, so the results cannot tell this stadium from the flat number. That is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
Pitbull Stadium seats 20,000 and has averaged 71% full (14,196, 19 games reported). Visitors face the 4th-longest trip of 135 FBS venues: a median 854 miles since 2018. The map isn't translating, though — the split above still reads middle of fbs. For the home side it is genuinely home ground: 49% of the 2026 roster (52 of 107 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 45 home games since 2018.

Usage splits
How the players get used
From the 2025 season's play-by-play
- UnderdogAlex Perry produces at a notably lower rate when his team is an underdog than when favored: he fades when the pressure is on, and his per-target value drops too.
- Deep threatAlex Perry is a real deep-ball threat: a high share of his targets come on throws past the sticks.
- Garbage timeAlex Perry does not see a usage spike in garbage time: his workload holds steady regardless of score.
- Deep threatDallas Payne is used almost exclusively underneath: a low share of his targets are downfield shots.
- Short yardageKejon Owens converts 3rd/4th-and-short at a below-average rate.
- Deep threatMaguire Anderson is used almost exclusively underneath: a low share of his targets are downfield shots.
Position battles
WR/TE room
The targets are split. The job isn’t.
Maguire Anderson (WR) and James Resar (TE) split the targets (59/90 vs 31/90) -- but the job isn't split the same way.

Tendency drift
How Florida International’s current staff calls plays, year over year
Pass defense by zone
What this team throws, and gives up, by depth.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Florida International’s passing game completes a completion rate below the FBS mean (63.7% vs 67.0% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 238-play sample) — mid-pack, 21 of 136 qualifying offenses.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Florida International’s defense allows a completion rate below the FBS mean (65.3% vs 66.3% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 166-play sample) — mid-pack, 45 of 137 qualifying defenses.
We won’t show a deep-ball (20+ air yards) leaderboard here, on either side of the ball: even a full season of charted plays gives most teams well under 30 deep attempts — too thin to tell a real tendency from noise, so we won’t guess. Same refusal for yards-after-catch allowed and where a team’s attempts land by zone: both measured and both came back statistically indistinguishable from season-to-season noise.
Havoc & trenches
Disruption, run-blocking, and down-and-distance efficiency.
Turnover luck
Recovering 71% of their own fumbles — running hot vs. the ~52% league rate.
5 of 7 own fumbles recovered themselves, 2026 only.
Takeaways
Converting 21% of pass disruptions into takeaways — right in line with the ~18% league rate.
6 interceptions of 28 disrupted passes (22 deflected, 6 intercepted), 2026 only.
