MURFREESBORO – Last year's edition of the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl ended in a 49-48 shootout between Central Michigan and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

In the 2015 version of the bowl game, MT head coach wants no part in a shootout against the Western Michigan Broncos.

"I hope not," Stockstill said about a high-scoring game. "I hope we can score and I hope our defense can slow them down. Just because this team has a good offense and that team has a good offense, you really never know. I like our defense and I think our defense will rise to this challenge just like I think our offensive players will play well also.
