Middle Tennessee, off to its best start since 2001 at 4-1, returns home to face longtime rival WKU on Homecoming. This will be the 66th meeting with the Blue Raiders owning a slim 34-30-1 advantage.
The Blue Raiders and Hilltoppers have a knack of playing exciting football inside Floyd Stadium. The last two meetings, in 2011 and 2014, both went to overtime. Expect more of the same on Saturday.
Kickoff is set for 1:30 PM and the game will be broadcast on ESPN3.
