MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee football came out with a gameplan and won the battle of the field position and scheme in the first half, but a 21 straight points from a resurgent Colorado State team proved too much to overcome, as the Blue Raiders fell 31-23 on Saturday night at Floyd Stadium.
After a field goal from Colorado State (1-2) opened up the game's scoring, Holden Willis started the scoring for MTSU (1-3) on the Blue Raiders' second drive, catching a pass from Nicholas Vattiato in between zones of the CSU defense along the near sideline, making five Rams miss on his 36-yards after the catch for a 49-yard touchdown catch.
