Blue Raider notes from the McNeese game:

Middle Tennessee set a new single-game school record in kickoff return yards with 241 against McNeese on six returns. That broke the previous mark of 220 yards set against Louisville in 2006.

Middle Tennessee had six players make their first starts as a Blue Raider on Thursday night against McNeese State. Offensively, LT Darius Johnson, WR Christian Collis, and TE Jacob Corbaley all made their first starts. On defense, the first timers were SS JaJuan Harley, FS Kevin Byard, and RC Khari Burke.

Redshirt freshman Kevin Byard registered 11 tackles in his first collegiate game against McNeese. Byard’s double digit stops led the Blue Raiders and were a game-high.

Senior Anthony Amos turned in a career performance in the 2012 season opener. Amos led the Blue Raiders with a career-high eight receptions and a touchdown. Amos’ previous high was seven against WKU in 2011.

Middle Tennessee’s 97-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter went down as the third longest under Rick Stockstill. Overall, the Blue Raiders own 12 scoring drives of 90 or more yards in the Stockstill era. The Blue Raiders had four in 2011.

Setting a record in kick-off returns (6 returns) IS NOT a good thing ever because that means they scored at least 5 times and it was an FCS team to boot!

Really…FAU and Middle are going to argue over attendance?

Now one has any room to talk here

If you're speaking strictly about this year, you're correct, but MT is always in the top 3 in attendance and has been #1 several times over the past five years. Again, you have three games of 20k plus in your history, we had 3 last year in a 2-10 season.

We've had at least two games with 20k or more fans every year since 2005 and every year except 2009 at least one conference game had over 20k, you've had three games in your history draw 20k, from 2008-2011 we had four conference games draw 20k.

With all due respect, this year notwithstanding, MT does have room to talk.

Is Murfreesboro the place where the Dirty Birds (R.I.P) got reprimanded for saying "sucks" at a diner?

Kind of surprised, but the line is now up to +8 for FAU.

Not sure what folks are seeing in either team really given week on performances.

Would have though +4 would have been more in "line"…….

Gornall, Peterson, Kelley, Zaccario, Leroy…….all terrible to very average.  Groody was the best P/K we had as of recent seasons.  Special teams is still a major heel…
