MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Mother Nature helped Middle Tennessee get back on track Saturday in a homecoming win over FIU, and now the calendar flips to its most-favorable month.
The Blue Raiders used a heavy downpour in the second half to run roughshod over the Panthers. Their 471 rushing yards went down as the fourth most in program single-game history, and for the first time ever, three players — Asher O'Hara (159), Jayy McDonald (138) and Terelle West (130) — eclipsed 100 rushing yards in the same game. The 471 yards was also the most by any team in the NCAA this season.
