I think we will win but it's gonna be closer than we like.

 

[SpaceRaider]

I expect a close game with a large visiting crowd cheering against the Blue Raiders. three or four point difference one way or the other...

NOTEBOOK: Football finally returns home for rivalry game in Floyd Stadium - Middle Tennessee State University Athletics

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee football finally returns home to the confines of Floyd Stadium this weekend, taking on Tennessee State in an OVC rivalry renewed

[JohnDavidBlue]

I think we win this weekend. Hopefully.
Sitting at 2-1 will be a lot better than sitting at 0-3.

[SigmaNuBlue]

Losing our home opener to TSU after this BS contract extension would be the most Middle thing ever.

At least they are trying. Closing off Greenland lot for non-passes too.

Been a while since TSU has won a game. We should be able to take care of business at home in this one. As always, it will come down to our OL. Will the OL provide enough time to allow our offense to execute? If yes, I can't see us losing. If no, then it's a toss up. Simple as that.

I want to see the players win and win big. They deserve better. They are the ones who committed to MT and they work hard every day. I will always pull for them and I hope you guys will too.

this will be a close game, they put almost 600 yds of offense of Eastern Washington, then they played that defensive juggernaut of Jackson St. I expect a game like they played at Ga State a few years back.

Haven’t heard from him (DeLeon) in here since his first venture into this merry band of malcontents. Did you guys scare him off? 😂😂

 

[SpaceRaider]

no he is still lurking AFAIK

He seems like a smart guy. I trust he's renting a place.

Yea. Game will be deceptively tough because they're gonna be starving for a win and they will view MT as a winnable game. We will get 110% from them. I hope we are ready.

I think he reads. He may not post. I've talked with him a few times on Twitter DMs so he is still trying to engage with fans. He absolutely is an asset in the dept up against a huge giant obstacle.

 

[Matt Dossett]

I'm not seeing a line for this game...

MT by double digits

MT by double digits

This is the likely result. Their QB is only completing 52% of his passes which tells me he is inaccurate. Should be good for at least 1 INT there. He's also been sacked 12 times in 2 games so I suspect we will smother them defensively. What we have to watch out for is their running game. Their starting RB has 277 yards over the first 2 games already. The QB has wheels and can move as well. Their first two games were very similar to ours. Looked awful in one and looked pretty good in another. I suspect we will get their best shot since they will be hungry for a win and view this as a winnable game.

Defensively, as long as the defense has good gap discipline and doesn't let anyone run behind them we should be good. I have a feeling though that the Tigers will score more than expected and have better success than Colorado State did.

Offensively I suspect we will try to establish the run early. If OL can do their job and the running game get's going it will be a long day for the Tigers as that will open up the passing lanes. OL has to do their job though and that's always a concern.

I'm guessing line will be somewhere around 13 points. I would open MT -12.5 if I was booking the game.

 

[SpaceRaider]

yeah, they're 0-2

They will put it all together this week and will beat Middle

 

[Predarat]

Win this one, and we are 4 wins away from adding a season to the StockTract. So gotta figure Wins against UTEP and FIU, now just need to get 2 Ws out of Miami, UTSA, UAB, WKU (thanks for the sympathy! haha), LAneck, Charlotte, and FAU.

The biggest thing I am looking forward as a game day experience is the new PA announcer, has to be a 1000% improvement.

There were days leaving the stadium in previous seasons I was more aggravated and annoyed by the PA guy than I was by the coaching and execution on the field.

MTSU readies for backyard battle with TSU

Home openers are always a joyous time for programs. When you open up against an old neighborhood rival things are even a little more amped up. On Saturday, September 17, Middle Tennessee State (1-1) toes the turf at Floyd Stadium for the first time in 2022. Lining up opposite the Blue Raiders...

Maybe I am just being nit-picky.. but in the tweet for the beer garden, in every photo there is a logo for another university.. I spot UNC, Duke, Arizona, Drake and possibly Wisconsin but it's hard to tell. If I was looking at that photo from a PR stand point that would jump out to me. Considering there was a video tweet before the JMU game calling out students for wearing other Universities apparel on campus.
