Every team needs a goal.

 

[sWiley]

Likely a loss. It's hard to travel West and play well. We never seem to be able to.

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Scott Walden was one that I thought would be a decent finalist for MT. He is on the struggle bus there at utep.

I watched a bit of their game on Wednesday. The guy is a total spazz.

 

[Predarat]

If they cannot win this one, maybe they will win the one after the next one.

I think he’ll end up being alright bc I think he will grind the recruiting trail. In terms of this game, Walden is the type of guy to throw the kitchen sink at every single opponent he plays so expect anything and everything at any point

UTEP may have another quarterback as Middle Tennessee heads to Sun Bowl

JP Pickles likely starter if Skyler Locklear can't play because of concussion

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Derek Mason is always straight forward in his weekly media availability. So, it was no surprise when he was asked how he was going to evaluate

Updated and I agree.

It will be interesting to see Mason face off against a coach that many thought we should have gone after.

MT FG
MT leads 3-0
Had the ball on the half yard line, but couldn't get it in

 

[MT01]

Can’t score from the six inch line. And then yet another turnover. Vattiato is just too often careless with the ball.

Unfortunately Masons team makes the same stupid mistakes Stockstill’s did.

 

[SpaceRaider]

3-3 tied after UTEP FG

 

[SpaceRaider]

UTEP's punt returner making MT look bad on that return.

 

[MT Glenn]

This is really bad football. I guess that should be expected though, since our combined records would get us the number one pick in the NFL draft.

 

[SpaceRaider]

Freshman QB scores TD on run untouched

 

[MTTim]

I think I will go outside and watch the grass grow. Has to be better than watching this.

 

[SpaceRaider]

10-3 7:21, 2nd qtr

Nope…this is immensely worse!

MT TD

10-10

 

[TrueBlueFB_23]

Nice Butler! Very nice!

 

[TrueBlueFB_23]

Wow! We used middle of the field there lol

[MT Glenn]

Wonderful start to the second half.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

That's 15 TOs lost this season with 3 this game. Our margin coming in was -5.

 

[TrueBlueFB_23]

Hate that play call after a big run for 1st down. Run up gut for nothing. Perfect time for a pass on 1st down. Why is Butler not in on 3rd down pass play?

 

[TrueBlueFB_23]

D showed up today!

 

[Hop45]

Let's Go! Good field position!

 

[MidTennMtneer]

TD!

MT leads 20-13 under 2 minutes left

 

[MT Glenn]

UTEP showing some stockstillion clock management skills.

 

[SpaceRaider]

Road Victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!
