MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Like nearly 10 million other college football fans across the country, the Middle Tennessee football team and staff were dialed in to the late-night matchup across the country in Boulder, Colo. last Saturday, as Colorado and Colorado State battled into double overtime in an instant classic.
But while most of America's eyes were trained on the Buffaloes and their head coach, Deion Sanders, the Blue Raiders spent their time focused in on the Rams and their head coach, Jay Norvell, as they prepared to welcome Colorado State to Floyd Stadium the following weekend.
