MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Since entering Conference USA play, defense has been the strong suit for Middle Tennessee.
Despite their struggles in a 1-2 start through three C-USA games, the Blue Raiders have made plays defensively against three of the league's best offenses, forcing seven turnovers in those outings.
"We're doing a good job of getting takeaways, and we're doing a good job of keeping them out of the end zone," MT head coach Rick Stockstill said. "As much as we're struggling right now to get the ball in the end zone offensively, it's critical how they're playing because they're giving us a chance.
