History points to run game as key for MT this week

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The clock was ticking on Middle Tennessee.

With just over a minute remaining in its first-ever trip to Charlotte to take on the 49ers in 2016, the Blue Raiders found themselves in a stalemate, 31-31, trying to end a two-game losing streak.

After a Charlotte punt, quarterback John Urzua, filling in for an injured Brent Stockstill, completed two passes to start the drive, setting MT up with a first down at its own 39.

Urzua dropped back on first down and fired towards freshman wideout Ty Lee.
