MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Through a few days of fall camp, some position battles are starting to heat up on the Middle Tennessee roster.
Some key spots both in the starting lineup and second unit are up for grabs after 10 starters were lost from last year's team, including six on defense. There are 13 starters returning.
Here are some of the positions to keep an eye on over the next few weeks as the Blue Raiders prepare to take on Army in the season opener either Sept. 4 or 5.
Running backs
Middle Tennessee's rushing attack in 2019 was spearheaded not by a running back, but by first-year starting quarterback Asher O'Hara.
