MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The stakes are always high when Middle Tennessee and WKU meet on the gridiron, but the rivalry matchup might have even more significance this season.
Both teams are winless so far in 2020, the Hilltoppers 0-2 and Blue Raiders 0-3. Middle Tennessee is also hosting its rival on homecoming, adding to the drama.
"[WKU] is a good football team," head coach Rick Stockstill said. "It's a great challenge for us. … Our team continues to fight and continues to believe in each other, and I have no doubt we'll have a good week of preparation and we'll be ready to play this game.
