MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Though he only lasted through the first two drives, last year's regular-season finale against Florida Atlantic was possibly the most important game of quarterback John Urzua's Middle Tennessee career.
Urzua was lost for the remainder of the game when a hard hit left him concussed during the Blue Raiders' second drive in the first quarter.
The hit and concussion helped show Urzua he had to build on his slight frame and his awareness if he wanted to step in again should starter Brent Stockstill suffer another injury.
History repeated itself this season after MT's Week 2 contest against Syracuse.
