Middle Tennessee Are Bowl Eligible Once Again After Easy Defeat of WKU

The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers faced off in the annual “100 Miles of Hate” rivalry game on Friday night in Murfreesboro. MTSU took care of business at home winning the game by a score of 29-10. The victory moves MTSU to 6-3 overall, which means MTSU is bowl eligible for the sixth straight year. This was also MTSU’s first win in the rivalry since 2014.

WKU never led in this game. MTSU started the game off with a 43-yard touchdown pass by Brent Stockstill to Ty Lee on the first possession of the game and never looked back.
