MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee football dominated from wire to wire on Saturday night, scoring a touchdown on six consecutive drives between the first and second halves to blast past Tennessee State 49-6 at Johnny "Red" Floyd Stadium.
Frank Peasant became the first MTSU running back to rush for over 100 yards on the ground since Chaton Mobley to eclipse the century mark in a single game, helping the Blue Raiders (2-1, 0-0 C-USA) set the tone early in the evening. Peasant punched the ball into the endzone three times against the Tigers (0-3, 0-0 OVC), including an explosive 85-yard run in the third quarter.
