FOOTBALL Tennessee Tech @ Middle Tennessee Game Thread

[MT01]

We just lucked out there. Because we are increasingly deserving of losing this game.

 

[ewglenn]

Gifted the ball back after that targeting call

 

[MT01]

You just can’t run this shit at the G5 level. We all said it when he was hired that masons insistence on a balanced pro style offense is a huge red flag

So disappointing.

Indeed.

 

[ewglenn]

Granted that one they didn’t call targeting earlier looked like it to me. So we were due one.

 

[sWiley]

Does bodie know you can throw on first down?

Play action ?

 

[MTFAN61]

Wow!! Should have been a pick 6. Can't believe it, but this offense has regressed from last year. Tennessee Tech just got some Murfreesboro home cooking. Our offense looks like Mike Vrabel & Tim Kelly have taken charge

 

[sWiley]

Run, run, pass….

 

[MT01]

Still do not have an OL.

84 yards on 30 carries. This isn’t Alabama’s defense for goodness sake.

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Impressive play by Peasant after the catch to gain a first down. Blue Raiders approaching the red zone

ZEKE RANKIN FIELD GOAL

Zeke Rankin knocks in a chip shot field goal from 33 yards to extend the lead to 24-11.

Tennessee Tech: 11
Middle Tennessee: 24

Just not in the cards when you are a low level G5. We don’t have access to enough good OL on a consistent basis, especially in the transfer portal era. We might get 2-3 war daddies on the roster but you need 5. And those 2-3 war daddies just transfer out year after year

Our interior line is insanely bad. Might be as bad as I’ve seen it since our 2 win season. And with the injuries it’s only going to get worse

This is not going to be a fun season.

 

[MT01]

There’s still a good chance we lose this game. Can’t believe I’m even having to say that.

ASHTON MAPLES 15-YARD TOUCHDOWN RECEPTION

Jordyn Potts with his second touchdown pass of the night to Ashton Maples.

I don’t see how we win. We can’t stop them. We can’t move the ball. The only thing that might possibly save us is the time. We are clearly not the better team.

Pathetic.

 

[MT01]

Long, long season ahead.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Wow. We look like hot garbage.

 

[sWiley]

I’m sorry, but if we lose at home as a 25 point favorite to an inferior FCS team I’m ready for a new staff.

Never an acceptable outcome.

 

[MTFAN61]

Tech is the better team. Should be leading after last TD pass.
Had such hopes for this team, but we are a poorly coached squad.

 

[SpaceRaider]

tech 13-3 this half

 

[ewglenn]

We just need to get out of here with a win. It will say a lot about the team depending on how this finishes.

 

[sWiley]

TTU looks like they are throwing against air.

 

[ewglenn]

That dropped pick six earlier is looming large right now

 

[sWiley]

Run, run, pass anyone ?

 

[sWiley]

Yea we lost

 

[SpaceRaider]

GG!, these guys are choking against an FCS team

 

[Hop45]

Awful 2nd half

 

[blueraiderJT]

lol. so much for the new era.

 

[sWiley]

I truly have no words


When does basketball season start ?

 

[blueraiderJT]

punting.....
here we go.

 

[sWiley]

Who’s ready to watch this TTU game winning drive ?

25-24 TTU final

 

[SpaceRaider]

awful punt

 

[Hop45]

We're about to lose

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Tennessee Tech in Blue Raider territory down 6 with 2:30+ left

 

[sWiley]

This program is unfollowable.

I just can’t do it anymore

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Two-Minute Warning. MTSU up 6. Tech at the Blue Raider 29

 

[SpaceRaider]

Getting close to the clock striking midnight, where this team turns into a pumpkin

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Pretty accurate right now

 

[blueraiderJT]

Grtting outcoached by Bobby Wider. Never beat us before. he wants revenge.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

I swear I need almost two full hands to count the number of missed open field tackles.

 

[Blue2323]

This is embarrassing. I mean I think my first ever game was in 2002 when we lost to SEMO… so as a Blue Raider fan I’m used to it but this is pretty bad. A very undisciplined team so far.
