MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee football will face four 2016 bowl teams, including teams from the ACC, SEC and Big Ten to highlight the 2017 schedule.
The Blue Raiders' 2017 schedule is being jointly announced today by Conference USA and Director of Athletics .
"It's nice that we play everyone in the East again because I believe that is important in determining the division champion," added Massaro. "We are glad UAB is back to playing football because it's great for our fans and ultimately balances the schedule."
"I also like that we play our top rival, WKU, toward the end of the season and I look forward to seeing how it works in that slot.
