"You've gotta feel like you're working with a good nucleus of guys." - a Q&A with Nick McDevitt

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Practice continues in the Murphy Center ahead of the Blue Raiders' opening game on November 9 against Brescia University, and head coach Nick McDevitt is continuing to work on his team's play style ahead of the season.

GoBlueRaiders.com caught up with the Middle Tennessee head coach after a practice focused on the coach's trademark pressing defense, and reviewed the Blue Raiders' progress through the offseason, some outstanding new additions to his roster, and the slow move back to normalcy for the 2021-22 season.

Thinking back to those Blue Raider Blitzes this summer, you mentioned how nice it's been to have the whole team together all the time this season, as opposed to last year where COVID protocols forced the team to do a lot of their activities distanced from one another.
