MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee's first ever game at Rice turned into a doozy Saturday.
The Blue Raiders kicked a field goal as the clock expired in regulation to force overtime, where a blocked field goal set up redshirt junior quarterback Asher O'Hara for a game-winning 14-yard rushing touchdown. The final was 40-34.
"That was a fantastic win," MT head coach Rick Stockstill said. "I'm just really proud of our team for how we hung in there and battled the whole time. … I can't tell you enough how much fight, grit, determination, competitiveness, toughness this team showed here tonight.
