100 Miles of Hate, but there is a lot more hate for MT leadership than anything else. Surprised no one has been burned in effigy yet.

It is Homecoming for MT. MT is 1-10 the last 11 games in this series. WKU is favored, which surprises no one.

It surprises me a bit. We are not good. You guys should win this and be favored. I am not saying an "upset" would be a great shock to me, because you guys do like to squander a golden opportunity, but no way should we be favored at your place.

To be fair, MT opened as a 2.5 favorite. The line has been bet down. The entire game will come down to what Brock Glenn can do. MT has struggled against a mobile QB. I wouldn’t be shocked either way.

Maybe somebody can educate us on why it is that mobile QBs seem to have a field day on Middle. (1) Is it because we are normally in a man to man defense and DBs don't see him running? Don't think so cause it looks like we play zone most of the time. (2) Is it cause our defensive players are just too slow to catch him? Or, (3) are we just not athletic enough? And as far as Western goes, since we compete for the bulk of our roster for the same pool of players,(4) do the Toppers just outcoach us every year? I am damn tired of losing to WKU!

MT leads 21-13 at the half, having led 14-0 at one point in first quarter.

MT up 35-20 with about 5 minutes left in 3rd qtr.

Already the most points in Derek Mason era

crazy last few minutes.

MT wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kicker Dominic Bourgeois converts a 48-yard field goal with one second remaining as MTSU defeats Western Kentucky for the first time in seven years. MTSU scored a touchdown on WKU’s last ditch lateral attempt on the kickoff.

Obvious--WKU Defense was terrible. 51-42.

Good game MT. The streak is over.

Congrats Middle!

Loved our win. Way to go, Raiders!!! Offense looked great. Broke the seven game losing streak with our hated rival. But now we have to figure out how to play defense cause it wasn't just Western who played the old Matador D. "Ole"! You don't usually survive when you give up 42 points. "Whew"!
