MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – If there was one big takeaway from Middle Tennessee's season-opening loss at Vanderbilt, it was that the Blue Raiders need to do a better job of finishing.
As they look ahead to the home opener on Saturday, execution at the end of drives and in the second half will be a key focus.
"That's always the objective," head coach Rick Stockstill said at Monday's weekly press conference. "We just didn't execute as well as we needed to on either side in critical times in the game. We need to do a better job of executing … when you do that, things usually have a tendency to work out for you.
