MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee's good luck charm is back.
Colton Sheets, an 11-year-old Blue Raider fan and cancer survivor, will serve as MT's honorary team captain Saturday for the third season in a row.
The Blue Raiders have never lost with Sheets as a captain. They clobbered Charlotte 73-14 in 2015 with him in attendance before winning in thrilling fashion over LA Tech last year, 38-34.
If you ask Colton, there's no way the Blue will lose Friday night to Marshall, either.
"I'm confident MTSU is going to win again," he said.
