The Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will square off against the Troy Trojans at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday at Johnny (Red) Floyd Stadium. Middle Tenn. was 4-8 last year and is coming off of a 42 to nothing loss against the Army West Point Black Knights last week. Meanwhile, Troy struggled last season, ending up 5-7.
A pair of last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Blue Raiders ranked 18th worst in the nation with respect to passing yards allowed per game last season, where the team gave up 265.3 on average (bottom 87%). To make matters even worse for Middle Tenn., Troy was ninth best in the nation in passing yards per game, finishing the 2019 season with 313.2 on average. It might be a fun afternoon for Troy's receiving core.
Since the experts predict a defeat, Middle Tenn. will need to dig deep. We'll soon see whether they can make the experts look bad.
