DALLAS (FWAA) – Middle Tennessee set a commanding tone with interceptions on two of No. 25 Miami's first three offensive plays, while Zaylin Wood started his own career day by taking the second one back 15 yards for a touchdown as the Blue Raiders came out of Miami's Hard Rock Stadium with a 45-31 win. For his outstanding play in guiding MTSU to its first win over a ranked team, Wood earned the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week honor for games during the weekend of Sept. 24, as selected by the Football Writers Association of America.
