Lee finding stride important for MT passing attack

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The past few years, Middle Tennessee's offense hasn't experienced many slumps, particularly in the passing game.

Since offensive coordinator Tony Franklin arrived on campus in 2016, the Blue Raiders have averaged 274 yards per game passing, making them one of the best air attacks in Conference USA and the nation.

This season has seen uncharacteristic inconsistency in the air, though.

Middle Tennessee has ended four games with less than 200 passing yards, including the last two, and is 1-3 in those contests.

"We've played good at times this year, but we want to be more consistent," redshirt senior quarterback Brent Stockstill said at Monday's weekly press conference.
