Exclamation ****Middle Tennessee vs tennessee state, 6PM Saturday, 9/7/19, ESPN3****
I've been dreading this game. I didn't like it being on the schedule, where it situated on the schedule. I would be extremely angry if the Blue Raiders stumble here, but not surprised, given that its Middle Tennessee we're talking about here. Last I checked oddsshark had MT at -26.5.

tsu has about a dozen transfers from other colleges on their roster, so they have some FBS talent on that FCS squad.

If MT loses this game, there should be a complete house cleaning in Murphy Center.

Subscribed, because I picked MTSU this week in our CUSA elimination contest. You might be doomed - a lot of us picked MTSU this week.

Fwiw, tn state beat ga state in 2017, and of course they are trying to bask in ga state's glow off last week's upset of the vol$. Last year, tn state had a better effort against vanderbilt than the Blue Raiders. Tn State pushed the commodores and lost by four.

This won't be an easy task...

Good luck MTSU! It’s always nice to see a branch campus knock off the flagship.

TSU travels really really well. Lots of alumni and friends will make the trip. Those in the Boro will come see the band. I’d say they’ll take up 1/4 of the stadium easily.

I hope we show up since many are gonna be waiting til the Duke game.

83 degrees projected at kickoff Saturday night, a beautiful evening for football.

I love that we schedule TSU cause they travel well and it's a Great Rivalry! However, the Tigers always scare me to death! They always have a half-dozen (or more) former FBS starters in their lineup and would love nothing more than to whip that big school down in the Boro. Truth is that back in the 70's they slaughtered us when we played them at Vandy.

TN state moving the ball well. Running to the right side and that back is a monster. MT needs a stop. Not a great start. Raider defense looks like they came out flat footed and TSU had a chip on their shoulder.

Maybe the interception in the end zone will energize them. Almost went into their first offensive series down by 7!

WTF was Shafer thinking there. We have them 3rd and a mile at their own three and he brings the house. Screen pass goes for 97 yard TSU TD. Seriously WTF Shafer.

All I can think was he was hoping to completely demoralize with a safety following the interception.

Opposite effect.

Now the Raiders start a nice offensive drive and TSU recovers a fumble. 03-banghead

I think the Raiders saw the line and decided to make some money. 5:07 and they’re down 6-3. This is ridiculous.

Does mtsu realize that Tennessee state's starting QB is suspended due to rape allegations. SMH

Of course. All over the news. This kid seems to have stepped right in. He’s a local product out of Brentwood ravenwood high. One of the top teams in the state.

MT is starting to get with it. I think the difference in class is starting to show. Middle had to settle down and realize they had to actually play. It’s going to be a better second half.

The current guy looks pretty decent. He's made a couple of bad throws that were picked off or almost picked but he's better than some QB's in our league. Hell, he certainly outplayed O'hara in the first half. Our entire offense look asleep in the first 20 minutes of gametime.

What I'm most surprised about is how big TSU is. Their OL and DL is bigger than ours. I believe we will pull away in the second half, but their bigs are just that and they have some speed on offense at their skill positions. I'm more impressed with TSU than I expected to be going in.

Now we’re cooking. I love this O’Hara kid. Already 15-21, 256 yards and 2 TD.

Pass interference on the umpire causes interception inside the MT 10. TSU TD next play. 24-19 MT

Middle should be running over these guys. TSU brought their A game. MT is going a lot of stuff right but miscues here and there are helping the tigers to stay in it.

Yes they did. This is probably their most important game on their schedule, and it's clear no one on our defense came to play except Reed Blankenship.
