MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The message Rick Stockstill gives every day at the Murphy Center for Middle Tennessee football, but particularly the past month, has remained the same: We've got to keep the focus on us.

Flush the negatives, build off the positives, continue to get better at practice each week. Work on what you can control, rather than worrying about what you can't.

"The focus really this week, every coach says it, I say it, but it's about us," Stockstill said. "We've got to worry and fix ourselves."

After a loss on the road to LA Tech dropped the Blue Raiders to 4-5 overall this season, MTSU needs to win two out of their last three games to become bowl eligible.
