MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — It's been a long time coming, but kickoff for 2021 Middle Tennessee football is this coming Saturday.
The Blue Raiders open the season at home on Saturday against Monmouth, their first time on the field in front of fans at Floyd Stadium in 322 days. An October 17 loss to North Texas was the last home game of the 2020 season due to multiple cancellations related to COVID-19 protocols.
"I hope it's a great crowd, I hope it's better than a decent crowd," head coach Rick Stockstill said at this week's press conference.
