Raiders looking for rebound on Homecoming
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Things got a lot more interesting in the Conference USA East Division on Saturday when Middle Tennessee fell at FIU 24-21.
The loss puts the Blue Raiders (3-3) in a tie with Marshall and Charlotte at 2-1 in conference play, while FIU (4-2) takes sole possession of first with a 2-0 record. The Panthers still have to play Marshall and Charlotte, not to mention preseason conference title favorite Florida Atlantic (1-1 in C-USA), whom MT has already beaten.
In order to keep pace in the crowded C-USA East race, Middle Tennessee needs to rebound with a homecoming win on Saturday over a surprising Charlotte team (3-3), with kickoff scheduled for 2 p.m. at Floyd Stadium.
