WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Jakobe Thomas, rightfully, was the star of the post-game press availability last night, as Middle Tennessee football won its final game of the regular season in dramatic fashion thanks to the safety's two interceptions late in the fourth quarter. That made my job writing the sidebar late into the night in the Eastern Time Zone quite easy, which I'm sure many of you saw earlier today on GoBlueRaiders.com.
But what stuck with me as I wrote that sidebar was an anecdote that made for a nice moment in Thomas' journey this season, but also one that reinforced my belief that what makes this MTSU team go is its leadership.
