MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Another rivalry matchup between WKU and Middle Tennessee went down to the wire Saturday with the Blue Raiders falling in a heartbreaker.
On their homecoming, the Raiders (0-4) couldn't find enough big plays in the second half, scoring only once after halftime and losing to the Hilltoppers (1-2) by a field goal, 20-17.
It was the eighth time in the last 10 meetings between the teams that the final was decided by less than a touchdown. MT leads the all-time series 35-34-1.
"It was a hard-fought ballgame, and we hate to lose it," MT head coach Rick Stockstill said.
