MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee football started red hot on offense, jumping out to a three-score first half lead that powered the Blue Raiders the rest of the night, winning 49-21 over FAU on Saturday night in Johnny "Red" Floyd Stadium.
The Blue Raiders (6-5, 3-4 C-USA) posted 400 total yards in the first half, scoring on four of the team's first five drives to jump out to a 28-7 lead. FAU (5-6, 4-3 C-USA) would get a touchdown back just before the half, but could not slow down the Blue Raiders in the second half, as MTSU won the third quarter 14-7, just like the previous two quarters, to continue their dominance on the day.
