Middle Tennessee made its Conference USA opener a memorable one...

 

 

Chip Walters with the play-by-play on WGNS and the Blue Raider Network as Logan Kilgore found Kyle Griswould for the 19-yard game-winning touchdown. Middle Tennessee beat FAU 42-35 in overtime. The contest saw five ties with the Blue Raiders (3-1, 1-0 C-USA) never trailing in the contest. Florida Atlantic (1-3, 0-2 C-USA) answered multiple times including a flurry of action during the final minutes of regulation. The Blue Raiders moved to 3-1 for the second consecutive season and the first time in back-to-back years since 1991-92. Middle Tennessee remains on the road with a visit to BYU Friday. We'll have Blue Raider Network coverage as soon as the Independence at Blackman game is over.
