Middle Tennessee Coach Calls Historic Upset Over Miami a ‘Butt Kickin’

After embarrassing Miami in a lopsided road victory on Saturday, Middle Tennessee coach Rick Stockstill didn’t hold back while reflecting on the win after the game.

Stockstill, MTSU’s head coach since 2006, led the Blue Raiders into a meeting with the No. 25-ranked Hurricanes in Miami Gardens and left with a stunning 45–31 win. MTSU maintained a 21-point lead for much of the contest and generated 507 yards of offense en route to earning the program’s first-ever victory over an AP Top-25 opponent.

Speaking with reporters during his postgame press conference, Stockstill praised his players for the dominant performance and assured the doubters that the Blue Raiders are in it for the long haul.
