FOOTBALL Tennessee Tech @ Middle Tennessee Game Thread

59 new players takes time to gel and just about every team that had 40+ new players struggled in week 1. With that said, Ole Miss is gonna rip us in half. Furman made the FCS playoffs last year and we saw what went down.
unfortunately, that's not the same Furman team from last year, they had a huge Sr class and the returners that could ball transferred to FBS. With that said, Ole Miss wins by 35

BB RECRUITING Class of 2025 Board

Another quick update for everybody on recent 2025 news in the last month

Lauren Hurst still shopping with an official visit to Tennessee at the end of August. Don't have much of a gauge of her recruiting at the moment but my crystal ball would say she's leaning heavily to the Lady Vols or Clemson.

Harmonie Ware secures her first P4 offer (Kentucky offer dropped after Elzy firing) to California and takes an official visit to James Madison. I'd think MT would still be in the hunt, but I'd assume forward/centers are a priority.

TaTianna Stovall took an unofficial visit to Belmont recently. Stovall is one I think Insell and staff really want to secure before the season kicks off. Being in a battle with in-state rival Belmont would typically suit well for MTSU, but some recruits aren't always hunting championships, more so playing time.

Liv Blomkvist was the most recent offering from MTSU. I do not know the legitmacy of that reporting as Liv, herself has not made a public post about the offer whereas she did publicly announce her offers to Wyoming and UAB.

Lastly, highly targeted 6'8" Center Emily Hunter is off the board with a verbal commit to TCU. I'd still keep an eye on her in the future with family ties to Murfreesboro. Who knows.

That's disappointing news, but excellent reporting. Any news on Jenna McClendon out of Alabama?

The more I go back and watch this game the more I chalk this up to 1st game jitters on staff or CDM & OC was just playing a hard game of chess with play calling/personnel leading up to Ole Miss or even WKU. OL play & defense needs to step it up big time, but that offense looked very vanilla with the weapons. Not to mention the revolving door of WRs & TEs the entire game. How does any rhythm get going? Hard on a QB too.
