MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The Middle Tennessee football season will start as scheduled but against a first-time opponent.
Director of Athletics Chris Massaro confirmed the Blue Raiders will play five-time national champion Army at West Point, N.Y., in the season opener either Sept. 4 or Sept. 5, depending on television. It will be the first meeting between the two teams.
"We are excited to open the season with a national opponent and this match up should generate a lot of interest," Massaro said. "It will be great for our program. As one would expect the administration at Army West Point and we look forward to the return game in Murfreesboro in the future.
