According to Bleacher Report, excerpt:
No. 14: Middle Tennessee Beats Miami for the 3rd Time in Program History
This was probably the first sign we had that Miami would struggle in Mario Cristobal's first season. The Canes were 2-1 entering this game at home and ranked No. 25.
They were 25.5-point favorites but struggled significantly against the Blue Raiders. MTSU had a 24-10 lead at halftime and won 45-31.
The Blue Raiders defense forced three turnovers, including two interceptions of Tyler Van Dyke. According to the Associated Press, Middle Tennessee was 0-20 versus Top 25 opponents and had been outscored by 585 points.
Perhaps the most impressive fact about this win is that the Blue Raiders improved to 3-0 all-time against Miami. They won the teams' first two meetings in 1931 and 1932. The Canes never led in any of the matchups.
