Anybody hear anything on how bad it was?

Here's a weekly series that Shayne Pickering and I have started called position grades, and it's exactly what it says.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7

Jax State at Louisville (ESPN+) 2:30 p.m.
Middle Tennessee at Ole Miss (SEC Network) 3:15 p.m.
Central Michigan at FIU (ESPN+) 5 p.m.
Sam Houston at UCF (ESPN+) 5:30 p.m.
Louisiana at Kennesaw State (ESPN+) 6 p.m.
Eastern Kentucky at WKU (ESPN+) 6 p.m.
Southern Utah at UTEP (ESPN+) 8 p.m.
Liberty at NM State (ESPN2) 9:15 p.m.

In progress, 3rd period MT leads 10-4

I’m not super concerned at how this season goes as long as we see game by game improvement. The start of the schedule is a very difficult start to the season, but next year looks so much better.

Out of conference:

8/30 - Austin Peay
9/6 - @ Wisconsin
9/13 - @ Nevada
9/20 - Marshalll

We trade our big money game Ole Miss for Wisconsin. I’ll take that any day. That game might be winnable.

The other two out of conference games are an FCS and group of five. Both group group of five games should be competitive, but also winnable.

Next season, the quarterback, and running back from Liberty will be gone. Their coach might be as well.

We will have a senior quarterback and another recruiting class by Mason. Next year could be really fun!

GoMiddle takes a look at the past weeks top news and stats as it pertains to MTSU

Priority in-state 2025 tight end Gabriel Lovorn will be a name to watch as we hit the final stretch of this recruiting cycle. He is a versatile athlete with programs such as Ole Miss recruiting him at linebacker. Could this be a situation similar to running back commit DJ Taylor's recruitment? Maybe. Find out what he had to say about his visit and Middle Tennessee, including how he found a unique way to connect with others during the weather delay in the link below.
