MTSU's football team needed a win -- any type of win, whether it was pretty or ugly.
At the end of the Blue Raiders' 24-13 over visiting Bowling Green it had to be deemed a thing of beauty, albeit turning the ball over three times.
MTSU completed its non-conference schedule with a 2-2 record, with wins over Syracuse and Bowling Green and losses to Vanderbilt and Minnesota.
Quite frankly, most Blue Raider faithful would probably have taken a .500 record after four games.
Saturday's victory was very intriguing. Again, the Blue Raiders turned the ball over three times, but used a dominating defense and punishing running game to turn back the Falcons.
