MTSU makes FAU pay for for the FG miscue by converting a FG of their own.

Middle Tennessee gets on the board via a 33 yard field goal.

The Blue Raiders moved 60 yards on 12 plays, just to put three points on the board. That's a good thing for #FAU, who finally sees something other than a TD when an opponent enters the red zone.

Wow, Robison for a rushing TD!

Where did that come from?  Great run

This is the difference.  Against UCF, that is at best a 4-yard gain.  It looks like we are going to "find our legs" in the conference!

Not cutting on Robison - great run.  But this is a different level of competition.

Robison gets his first rushing TD of his career! What a run too, breaking ankles at the line of scrimmage!

TOUCHDOWN #FAU!

Chris Robison does his best Motor impersonation with a 45 yard rushing TD. That is Robison's first rushing TD of his collegiate career! Check it out 👀⬇️

In less than a minute, MTSU drives right down the field for their first TD of the game. We made Middle look like UCF there.

Touchdown #MTSU.

Blue Raiders are finally able to punch it on 3rd & goal for their first TD of the game. Owls called a pair of timeouts to conserve time for one final drive before halftime.

Owls punt for the first time tonight. Let's see if Middle is able to move down field again.

Owls are forced to punt for the first time tonight. #MTSU will take over on their own 34 yard line.

With less than half a minute remaining in the half, let's see if the Blue Raiders try score here.

The run was the right call I think, odds of us getting it on a pass were not great and the clock would have stopped.  Motor going out of bounds made it look bad.

There's something wrong with this defense when it comes to closing halves. MTSU picked apart the defense the last two drives. We're lucky that MTSU only scored on one of those drives.

HALFTIME from Murfreesboro.#MTSU misses a 47 yard FG, wide right to close the first half. That's huge, as #FAU is still up by two-possessions. Middle will receive the ball to begin the second half.
