MTSU will be headed to the islands again this bowl season.
The Blue Raiders, who played in the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl last year, accepted a bid on Sunday to play host Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl (6-7) on Dec. 24. The game will be televised live on ESPN at 7 p.m.
The Blue Raiders finished the regular season 8-4 overall and 5-3 in Conference USA play despite losing starting quarterback Brent Stockstill for the last three-plus games.
It's uncertain if Stockstill will be able to return for the Hawaii Bowl as he is recovering from a broken collarbone.
