MT falls to No. 17 Kentucky
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Faced with its latest out-of-conference game since the 2006 season, Middle Tennessee went on the road Saturday to No. 17 Kentucky and fell 34-23.
After the loss, the Blue Raiders (7-4, 6-1 Conference USA) will have a regular season-finale matchup with C-USA West Division champion UAB. The Wildcats (8-3, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) will finish with in-state rival Louisville.
It was the third time MT took on an SEC East Division opponent on the road this season, and it had an overall solid performance except for a couple of detrimental plays.
