32-31 on a GW FG.

MTSU should seriously be at the head of the list for replacements if CUSA loses another team. They are the same size as UT and get play in the Nashville media market.

They had a win over Memphis to start the year to.

They also named the Fridge's successor before this season started, OC James Franklin.

RU BETTER beat them.

THEY WILL!!!!!!!!!

RU got an opponent they can beat next week. The way they beat FIU today you got to wonder.

This is 2 years in a row that Maryland has lost to MTSU...

dont forget it took them OT last week to beat 1AA James Madison.

I look for Fridge to coach one more year, next year will be his 10th season at his Alma Mater.

People look at the FIU RU score and think it was close but in reality it wasn't. FIU had two late scores to pull in within 8 but they were held under 90 yards through the first 3 quarters. Meanwhile our offense played sloppy ALthough they put up about 400 yards of total offense they missed field goals had penalties in the redzone and dropped passes thatended our drives. The game was really never in doubt but still we probably should have beat them by more. Either way we have a lot of time to iron out the wrinkles against a pretty bad maryland team next week and an even worse texas southern before we get into BE play.

How about Big East?

I would just be worried about how Savage played. But, who knows? Maybe he learned something in the process.

MTSU has the highest enrollement it the state of Tennessee. They have more students than UT.

While MTSU is about an hour away from Nashville (it's in Cookeville, TN), I wouldn't exactly call it the Nashville market. It's smack in the middle of Volunteer country. So is Nashville, for that matter. Vandy may be located in Nashville. But most football fans in the area root for Tennessee (either the Vols or Titans)...

Exactly that's the whole reason he's starting now and not next year let him make his rookie mistakes now and learn.

MTSU is in Murfreesboro, TN which is 30-35 mins from Nashville. You are thinking about Tenn. Tech U., which is a I-AA school.

You're right. I always get those 2 confused. But that doesn't change the validity of my statement about the marketabilty of MTSU...
