MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The bye week for Middle Tennessee couldn't have been more welcomed.
It's been an up-and-down season for the Blue Raiders, and after eight straight weeks of games it's clear the team has been beaten and battered both physically and mentally.
With a whole week to rest and relax, head coach Rick Stockstill was hoping his guys would come back ready to hit the ground running. Their goals, though some longshots, are still attainable with four games left in the regular season and a 3-5 record, but they'll have to be firing on all cylinders to reach them.
