MTSU’s limping offensive line may only be partially mended, at best, for Saturday’s Conference USA opener at Florida Atlantic.

Two starting offensive linemen, center Josh Chester and right guard Jadareius Hamlin, were both out of the lineup to begin last week’s win over Memphis due to injuries. Chester did not play, and Hamlin played only a few snaps after his replacement, redshirt freshman Adam Stickel, also suffered an injury.

Unfortunately, we need all the help we can get.

weather forecast from different sources are all over the map for Saturday. hopefully will firm up as Saturday approaches.

Wow, you are right…just looked at five of them, and they are all DIFFERENT!

I'll take cloudy with no rain this time of year any day…….

But what we really need is 90', sunny, and humid to mess with MTSU.

Yep, it's been an abnormally mild summer here in Middle TN. We've probably only had about 10 ninety-degree days.

Hopefully the early start time will help on the heat.

What time is generally the hottest part of the day in Boca Raton ?

noon to about five in  the afternoon are generally the hottest parts of the day.

Well, that isn't going to "help" us much. I forgot the game was at Noon at your place.

Will the hot weather affect the crowd size ?

Do you generally draw larger crowds for afternoon games or night games ?

Early  game times kill our crowds in Murfreesboro.

We have not been getting large crowds for a little while now…we need to start winning, but I am sure a noon kickoff isn't going to help with extra attendance.  The DIEHARDS will be there as we always are…I think the win last week should help.  I am hoping for 10 to 15k.  But I really don't care about the one's who don't show up.  

I don't think the heat is going to impact either team…TN is not necessarily a cool temperature climate this time of year.

we have our days down here with weather, there's a chance, if the clouds are sparse, that it's a roaster in there though, 95 degrees with 90% humidity is not fun for anyone, it's exhausting to sit there and drink beer for 5 hours so I can only imagine what running must be like.

In conjunction with Student Government, FAU is introducing a new area for students The Cove at the game this weekend…

…students will be treated to an environment of relaxation and fun in the sun with pools, lounge chairs, a cooling station, a fun station, snacks and beverages. THE COVE will also be a prime location for promotional contests and a focal point for the video board giving students the opportunity to showcase their spirit on the big screen.

It is located at the South East entrance to the stadium:
