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 | Att: 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 Stockstill said. “There are some things that we saw that we might be able to expand on a little bit with some personnel … but there’s not a whole lot of positive about this game. “We’ve got enough things to get corrected before we play again.” Vanderbilt was effective offensively from its first 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 first quarter that seemed to grab all of the momentum for the visiting team. He completed 6-of-7 passes in the first quarter for 124 yards and a touchdown, and finished 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 first quarter and finished with 49 on 24 attempts. It was a far cry from the 183 yards Vandy’s all-time 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 Stockstill 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 Stockstill, who finished 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 first-year coor- dinator Scott Shafer. The Blue Raiders allowed just two touchdowns – one in each half – and slowed the high-octane Syracuse offense. Middle Tennessee held Syracuse (1-1) to 308 yards total offense, with 182 coming through the air and 126 on the ground. The defense also came up with two turnovers, collecting a fumble and an intercep- tion. 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 Moffatt also had eight tackles, including one for loss. Corner Darryl Randolph added seven tackles, including one for loss. The Blue-clad stop squad was in the Syracuse offensive backfield throughout the game and totaled six sacks. Brooks, DJ Sanders, Walter Brady and Malik Manciel all TEAM STATISTICS had solo sacks.

GAME THREE BANGED UP BLUE RAIDERS FALL AT MINNESOTA MIDDLE TENNESSEE 0 3 0 0 - 3 MINNEAPOLIS - Middle Tennessee was overcome by a tough Minnesota defense MINNESOTA 3 17 7 7 - 34 and injuries to its two main offensive weapons Saturday, leading to a 34-3 loss in Sept. 16, 2017 | TCF Bank Stadium | Minneapolis, MN | 2:40 PM | Att: 43,727 Minneapolis. The Blue Raiders (1-2) fought well early, and found themselves tied 3-3 with the Gophers (3-0) after a 45-yard Canon Rooker field goal with 10:53 left in the second quarter. From there, it was all Minnesota. The home team rattled off 31 straight points thanks to a stingy defense and unrelenting rushing attack. The Gophers, who average 211 yards per game rushing to rank 42nd in the nation, finished with 221 yards on 47 carries for a 4.7-yard average. Middle Tennessee tried to make things interesting 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 first quarter and begin the second, but the offense couldn’t find rhythm. After the first of three rushing touchdowns for Minnesota’s Kobe McCrary, the Raiders trailed 13-3 with six minutes left 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 halftime score to 20-3.

GAME FOUR YOUNG GUNS LEAD RAIDERS TO WIN OVER BGSU BOWLING GREEN 7 3 3 0 - 13 MURFREESBORO - Middle Tennessee needed someone to step up offensively MIDDLE TENNESSEE 7 14 0 3 - 24 with several key players sidelined due to injuries, and plenty of young reinforcements Sept. 23, 2017 | Floyd Stadium | Murfreesboro, TN | 6:02 PM | Att: 16,523 arrived just in time to deliver a 24-13 win. “I’m really happy, pleased and proud of our team,” MT Head Coach Rick Stockstill said. “We played a lot of young guys … a lot of guys who had really never played col- lege football before. I’m really proud of their effort 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 offensive explosion was precisely what Middle Tennessee had been searching for. In its first three games, it averaged just 269.3 total yards per game and 63 yards on the ground. “It’s definitely 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 offensive success came without several key weapons. Quarterback Brent Stockstill, who missed Week 3’s contest at Minnesota with a sternum injury, missed his second straight game.

The Blue Raiders (2-3, 0-1) went into the game without the services of two key offensive starters as quarterback Brent Stockstill and receiver Richie James did not dress. Compounding matters, linebacker Walter Brady and defensive back Mike Minter Jr., also were unable to play due to injuries. Those injuries, combined with three Middle Tennessee turnovers, proved detrimen- tal in the setback as the Owls ended a nine-game losing streak to the Blue Raiders. Florida Atlantic struck early, jumping out to a 14-6 lead after the first quarter and parlaying it into a 24-6 halftime advantage. The Blue Raiders would challenge with drives deep into Florida Atlantic territory throughout, but quarterback John Urzua was guilty of three interceptions to stall those possessions. Urzua had a career game for Middle Tennessee, otherwise, completing 31-of-51 passes for 359 yards and two touchdowns. Ty Lee led a trio of active receivers, grab- bing eight catches for 136 yards and a touchdown. CJ Windham had 74 yards on five catches and Patrick Smith turned four receptions into 76 yards. Brad Anderson led the ground attack with 44 yards on 13 carries. Jovante Moffatt continued his outstanding work with a career-high 15 tackles, six TEAM STATISTICS solo.

The Blue Raiders (3-4, 1-2) had a final drive for a potential game-winning drive but time ran out on Middle Tennessee with the ball near midfield. UAB’s go-ahead 33-yard field goal with 8:16 remaining erased a 23-22 Middle Ten- nessee lead and was the Blazers’ only score of the second half against a Blue Raider defense that put forth a solid effort and provided the team with a chance to win. Canon Rooker continued his sterling senior season with three more field goals. He was 3-for-3 on kicks of 47-, 46-, and 41-yards. His 47-yarder to close the scoring in the first quarter was a career high and provided Middle Tennessee with a 10-9 lead at the time. Quarterback John Urzua finished 23-of-42 for 268 yards and one touchdown. He also threw two interceptions. Freshman Brad Anderson continued his breakout season. He led the Blue Raiders on the ground and through the air. Anderson finished with 81 yards rushing on 15 carries for 5.4 yards per rush.

GAME EIGHT BLUE RAIDERS BEAT THEMSELVES IN LOSS TO BLAZERS MARSHALL 7 24 0 7 - 38 MURFREESBORO - It was a tough Blackout night for Middle Tennessee, as the MIDDLE TENNESSEE 3 7 0 0 - 10 Blue Raiders fell to the Marshall Thundering Herd at Floyd Stadium, 38-10. Oct. 20, 2017 | Floyd Stadium | Murfreesboro, TN | 6:02 PM | Att: 13,412 “Obviously, it’s disappointing,” MT Head Coach Rick Stockstill said. “Give Marshall credit, they did a great job and whooped us pretty good.” It looked like an instant classic was brewing in the first quarter, as Marshall (6-1, 3-0) took its opening drive 75 yards for a touchdown, then Middle Tennessee (3-5, 1-3) followed with an eight play, 51-yard drive that ended with a 50-yard Canon Rooker field goal. After the first quarter, the score stood at 7-3, and things looked even on both sides. Things changed quickly when the Blue Raiders took the field for their first posses- sion of the second quarter, though. On the third play of the drive, redshirt sophomore quarterback John Urzua was hit as he was throwing, and the wobbly pass fell right into the arms of an awaiting Marshall linebacker, who returned it 17 yards for a pick-six. Then, on the first play of MT’s ensuing possession, Urzua hit sophomore receiver CJ Windham down the left sideline, and after the wideout picked up a few yards a Herd defender knocked the ball free and Marshall returned the fumble to the Middle Tennessee 18-yard line. The Thundering Herd would score two plays later on the third of their four rushing TEAM STATISTICS TDs, making the score 21-3 in the blink of an eye. } Game Notes Turnovers have been the Blue Raiders’ bugaboo all season.

In front of a crowd full of veterans and active military personnel, the Blue Raiders (4-5, 2-3) dominated in every phase of the game and took down visiting UTEP (0-9, 0-5) 30-3 to end a two-game losing skid. “I’m really proud of our team and happy for those guys in there. They worked extremely hard to get this win,” Head Coach Rick Stockstill said. “Winning builds confidence … so they should feel good about themselves. We’ve got some things to clean up, obviously, but this team should feel good about itself.” Middle Tennessee showed its bye the week before came at just the right time. The Blue Raiders not only looked refreshed physically and sharper mentally, but they also benefitted from getting their starting quarterback back on the field. Redshirt junior Brent Stockstill was back under center after missing the previous seven games due to a sternum injury suffered in Week 2. After knocking some rust off, he looked like he’s rounding into the same old southpaw. The Murfreesboro native completed just three of his first eight passes, but ended the first quarter 3-for-4 including a 25-yard touchdown strike to sophomore Ty Lee to make the score 10-0 early on.

Nov. 11, 2017 | Richardson Stadium | Charlotte, NC | 1:05 PM | Att: 10,937 The Blue Raiders (5-5, 3-3) scored 28 unanswered after falling behind 7-0 to start the game and led 28-7 at the half with a dominating display of first-half football that moved them to within one game of bowl eligibility. Middle Tennessee finished it off with a strong second half to win its second straight since quarterback Brent Stockstill returned from an injury suffered in the second game of the season at Syracuse. The Blue Raiders displayed a balanced offense with a 200-yard passer, 100-yard rusher and 100-yard receiver for the first time this season. Stockstill was 18-of-31 for 255 yards and three touchdown passes. Stockstill also became the program’s all-time passing yardage leader in the process. He came into the game needing 104 yards and surpassed Wes Counts’ mark of 8,007 yards on a 47-yard pass to CJ Windham. Junior linebacker turned running back Tavares Thomas had a monster game with a career-high 195 yards rushing on 29 carries. He added two first-half touchdowns on runs of 2 and 4 yards, respectively. It was a career high in yards for Thomas and marked his second multi-touchdown game of the season. Sophomore receiver Ty Lee was also a difference maker with 121 yards on just six receptions. He also had a touchdown grab. TEAM STATISTICS The offensive avalanche was supported by an equally impressive defensive master- } Game Notes piece.

They’ve now lost three in a row in the series, including two straight in OT, but own a 34-32-1 advantage all-time. As has become the norm for the series, the game couldn’t be decided in regulation. It was the fourth time in the last six meetings and second contest in a row that went to OT. Middle Tennessee also lost the 2016 edition, 44-43, in extra time. After both teams got into the end zone on their first two OT possessions, Middle Tennessee’s Canon Rooker was set up with a 42-yard field-goal attempt for the win. The redshirt senior earlier in the game knocked home a 49-yarder, his seventh straight make of more than 45 yards, but missed the winner wide left. WKU responded with a 37-yard field goal to take the game in thrilling fashion. “It hurts, man,” senior linebacker D.J. Sanders said. “This is my last game against WKU, and I wish we could have come out with a win. It’s disappointing.” The finish was set up by a crazy start to the fourth quarter. The score was 10-3 in favor of the Toppers as the game entered the final frame. On the first play of the quarter, Brent Stockstill dropped a perfect pass in stride to fellow redshirt junior Patrick Smith along the left sideline to give MT a tying 21-yard TD. On WKU’s ensuing possession, quarterback Mike White tried a backwards pass, which was mishandled by the Hilltopper running back and grabbed by redshirt junior TEAM STATISTICS linebacker Darius Harris.
