MTSU showed the ability to bounce back from a bitter defeat to Western Kentucky last week by going on the road to defeat SEC foe Missouri 51-45.
The task at hand for the Blue Raiders this week, however, will be having the ability to handle that success.
MTSU (5-2, 2-1) returns to Conference USA play on Saturday when it plays at Florida International (3-5, 3-1), which won its first three league games before losing last week at home to Louisiana Tech.
"We have FIU this week. They started out 0-4 and made a coaching change," said MTSU coach Rick Stockstill.
