MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — August 30, 2014.
"All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor was the No. 1 song in America for the first time. Guardians of the Galaxy just finished its second week at the top grossing movie at the box office. No. 12 Georgia took down No. 16 Clemson 45-21 in Athens, Ga.
And Middle Tennessee routed Savannah State 61-7 in Murfreesboro, where Jermiah Bryson ran in two scores, Trey Wattford took a fumble to the house, and Ed Batties took a punt 61 yards to score.
It was, until Saturday night, the last time Middle Tennessee scored a touchdown on offense, defense, and special teams in one game, as the Blue Raiders did against the Monmouth Hawks in a 50-15 victory at Johnny "Red" Floyd Stadium.
