TROY, Ala. — It's not often two out-of-conference teams meet twice in the same season these days in college football. That will happen Saturday when Middle Tennessee travels to Troy.
The Blue Raiders (2-6) will hope to have a little redemption over the Trojans (4-3), who won 47-14 in Murfreesboro on Sept. 19 to take the Palladium Trophy for the first time since 2012.
"It's a little unusual playing someone for the second time this season," MT head coach Rick Stockstill said. "They got after us pretty good the second game of the year … and we have an opportunity you don't often get in the same season to avenge that.
