MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- Brent Stockstill passed for 261 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday and Middle Tennessee beat UAB 27-3 to set up a rematch for the Conference USA championship in Murfreesboro next Saturday.
The Blue Raiders (8-4, 7-1) clinched the East Division earlier Saturday when Marshall knocked off FIU. Middle Tennessee will host the championship, earning the tiebreaker by virtue of its victory over the Blazers (9-3, 7-1). UAB clinched the West Division on Nov. 10 after an eight-game winning streak, including seven in conference.
Nick Vogel opened the scoring with a 35-yard field goal for UAB in the middle of the first quarter.
