MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — On some level, breaking down Middle Tennessee football's 31-23 loss to Colorado State feels simple.
It was a game between two evenly matched teams that came down, as it should, to just a handful of plays. On a night where both teams took a risk in high leverage situations, there were a handful of plays that carried a degree of risk that all went one team's way.
"Do the little things and understand how every play, you never know what play is going to make the difference in the game," head coach Rick Stockstill said.
