Blue Raiders fall short in comeback against UTSA

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee football had a shot late, but when a 4th and long pass with under five minutes to play was broken up down eight points, the last gasp from the Blue Raiders was unanswered, with MTSU falling 45-30 to UTSA on Friday night at Johnny "Red" Floyd Stadium.

The Blue Raiders (3-2, 0-1 C-USA) trailed 31-20 at the half but caught on fire on first defensively late in the second half, picking off the Roadrunners (3-2, 1-0 C-USA) three times in the second half, resulting in a net 10-point swing towards the Blue Raiders.
