GAME ONE RAIDERS FALL TO ‘DORES IN SEASON OPENER VANDERBILT 14 7 7 0 - 28 MURFREESBORO - Middle Tennessee’s season-opening matchup with in-state foe MIDDLE TENNESSEE 0 0 0 6 - 6 Vanderbilt didn’t go quite as planned for the Blue Raiders inside Floyd Stadium. Sept. 2, 2017 | Floyd Stadium | Murfreesboro, TN | 7:02 PM | A : 26,717 The Commodores (1-0) struck early and took the crowd of 26,717 out of the game, then hung on with solid defense to beat the Raiders (0-1) 28-6. “I’m just disappointed in how we played,” MT Head Coach Rick Stocks ll said. “There are some things that we saw that we might be able to expand on a li le bit with some personnel … but there’s not a whole lot of posi ve about this game. “We’ve got enough things to get corrected before we play again.” Vanderbilt was eff ec ve off ensively from its fi rst possession, though it wasn’t All- Southeastern Conference running back Ralph Webb who led the way. Junior quarterback Kyle Shurmur, who threw for just 113 yards against Middle Ten- nessee in 2016, was the driving force behind the Dores’ 14-0 lead at the end of the fi rst quarter that seemed to grab all of the momentum for the visi ng team. He completed 6-of-7 passes in the fi rst quarter for 124 yards and a touchdown, and fi nished the game with 296 yards on 20-of-28 passing with three scores. Webb, on the other hand, managed just 21 yards rushing in the fi rst quarter and fi nished with 49 on 24 a empts. It was a far cry from the 183 yards Vandy’s all- me leading rusher averaged on the ground against MT the past two seasons, though he also added 104 receiving yards.

The Blue Raiders (1-1) scored the game-winner when quarterback Brent Stocks ll connected with Shane Tucker for a 10-yard touchdown pass to stake Middle Tennes- see to a 30-23 lead with 6:46 remaining. It was the third touchdown of the game for Stocks ll, who fi nished the game 22-of-36 for 269 yards. He also rushed for 41 yards. The big story was the play of the Middle Tennessee defense under fi rst-year coor- dinator Sco Shafer. The Blue Raiders allowed just two touchdowns – one in each half – and slowed the high-octane Syracuse off ense. Middle Tennessee held Syracuse (1-1) to 308 yards total off ense, with 182 coming through the air and 126 on the ground. The defense also came up with two turnovers, collec ng a fumble and an intercep- on. Linebacker Khalil Brooks had a huge game with a career-high eight tackles, one for loss and he assisted on three tackles for loss. Safety Jovante Moff a also had eight tackles, including one for loss. Corner Darryl Randolph added seven tackles, including one for loss.

From there, it was all Minnesota. The home team ra led off 31 straight points thanks to a s ngy defense and unrelen ng rushing a ack. The Gophers, who average 211 yards per game rushing to rank 42nd in the na on, fi nished with 221 yards on 47 carries for a 4.7-yard average. Middle Tennessee tried to make things interes ng in the second quarter behind its defense before a turnover all but put things out of reach. The Blue Raider defenders forced three three-and-outs in a row to end the fi rst quarter and begin the second, but the off ense couldn’t fi nd rhythm. A er the fi rst of three rushing touchdowns for Minnesota’s Kobe McCrary, the Raiders trailed 13-3 with six minutes le in the second quarter and put together a four-minute drive and entered Gopher territory. The score threat was wiped out, though, when redshirt sophomore quarterback John Urzua’s pass was intercepted for a 67-yard TD, bringin the hal ime score to 20-3.

I’m really proud of their eff ort and how we played.” The Blue Raiders (2-2) had a heyday against the Bowling Green defense. They racked up a season-high 533 total yards (243 rushing, 290 passing) against the Fal- cons (0-4). The off ensive explosion was precisely what Middle Tennessee had been searching for. In its fi rst three games, it averaged just 269.3 total yards per game and 63 yards on the ground. “It’s defi nitely a momentum swing for our team,” freshman running back Brad Anderson said. “We felt like we had to get back to the basics of our running game because we couldn’t get stuff established and get stuff going. For us tonight to be able to have a running game like that, it means a lot for us.” MT’s off ensive success came without several key weapons.
