MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Another great offensive year from Middle Tennessee could be dependent on how well its line plays.
The Blue Raiders featured one of the better offensive lines in Conference USA for a couple of years, finishing third in 2015 and first in 2016 in sacks allowed. However, in 2017, they took a step back, allowing 25 sacks to finish ninth in the league.
In order to get back to where head coach Rick Stockstill wants to be, the offensive line will need a big group of returners to step their game up this season.
