NASSAU – With temperatures hovering near 80 degrees, a light breeze and clear skies, Middle Tennessee conducted its first-ever football practice in the Bahamas Monday morning in preparation for Thursday's Popeyes Bahamas Bowl.
The Blue Raiders will kick-off against Western Michigan at 11 AM Central on Thursday and the game will be shown on ESPN.
The Blue Raiders practiced for two hours at Roscoe A.L. Davies Soccer field, fine tuning their game plan and spending extra work on special teams.
"This was like a Wednesday practice so it was physical," said Head Coach Rick Stockstill.
