MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – With an Oct. 13 loss to FIU, Middle Tennessee no longer sits in the driver's seat in the Conference USA East Division, but it can keep pace with a bounce back, starting with a homecoming clash Saturday with Charlotte.
The 49ers (3-3, 2-1) may have their best team in the program's short history, and their talent coupled with some Raider personnel questions have created a mountain of a task for MT (3-3, 2-1).
"I told our team [Sunday], this is the best Charlotte team we've played since they came to the conference," head coach Rick Stockstill said at Monday's weekly press conference.
