Tough challenge looms at FAU

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Fresh off its Conference USA-opening win against Marshall, Middle Tennessee hits the road for another tough league test Saturday.

The Blue Raiders (2-3, 1-0) don't get much of a break after taking down the preseason East Division favorite Thundering Herd. They'll travel to Boca Raton, Fla., to do battle with the always-tough and streaking Florida Atlantic Owls (3-2, 1-0).

"We've got a big challenge ahead of us this week," MT Head Coach Rick Stockstill said. "Florida Atlantic is a really good football team.

"It's going to be a challenge going on the road for a conference game, but like I always say, we'll be ready to roll when we get there.
