Not gonna lie.
Before writing up this preview, the only things I knew about Murray State were 1) it is in Kentucky 2) they were nicknamed the Racers 3) Mick Cronin coached there before he came to Cincinnati.
It turns out that Murray State is a solid FCS football program and will likely be no pushover for the Cincinnati Bearcats.
Murray State played its 2020 football season in Spring 2021, like all of the other FBS teams that played last year.
The Racers posted a strong 5-2 overall mark which included an impressive 24-21 road win against FBS nationally ranked Southeast Missouri State.
