MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Saturday's season-opening matchup between Middle Tennessee and Vanderbilt could be the biggest game in the careers of MT offensive linemen Lucas Hamilton and Conner Trent. It's a moment the two have been waiting on for years.
Both redshirt seniors, Hamilton and Trent have been through a lot in their time in Murfreesboro. Their trials and tribulations over the past five years have made Saturday's contest, in which could be both players' first start along the Blue Raider offensive line, all the more special.
The two big men have changed a lot in their time at MT, both physically and mentally.
