MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — An almost weekly note from Rick Stockstill at the press conference podium is that Middle Tennessee's opponent is a "good football team." Some weeks, like when MTSU opened the season at Alabama, there's no second guessing. Other weeks, it's a point made about a particular strength of the opponent, an aspect of the game they do well.
This week, where MTSU preps to face an undefeated Liberty team on the road on Tuesday night, was one of the former.
"Statistically, they're the best in the conference in just about every statistical category," Stockstill said of the Flames.
