MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – College football season is upon us in Murfreesboro, and Blue Raider fans will get the opportunity to see Middle Tennessee begin the season firsthand Saturday against an in-state foe.

Vanderbilt will make the short drive from Nashville to the 'Boro for a 7:02 p.m. kickoff. It will be the 18th meeting between the two schools separated by a mere 37 miles, with the Commodores owning a 14-3 advantage and 2-0 mark at Middle Tennessee.

Since the 2001 season, MT has fared well against its Southeastern Conference opponent, winning three of the five contests in the series.
