The defense has ZERO answers for MT's rushing attack. We know they've become more ground dependent because of Brent Stockstill's injury, but this is just flat out embarrassing.

Another rushing TD for Middle Tennessee. This time, it's a 44 yard run by Mathers. FAU defense just has no answers. MT's up 21-7.

They appear to be getting worse.

They might score 100

I this point I'm rooting for MTSU the more we get blown out the more it will force change.

We're losing to a team quarterbacked by a Wide Receiver. We are so bad. Azeez has regressed so much. He's terrible. Tje whole defense is. Charlie is the worst coach I've ever seen. If Pres. Kelley is serious about this program, he will go big for Les Miles and take Charlie's buy out on the chin. If we're to be taken as a serious program, we need to act like it instead of penny pinching on a quality HC. This is embarrassing.

Gosh. Did our coaches game plan for this opponent? Or some other team?

Holy crap, I've never seen such a weak rushing defense for FAU. At Auburn in 2013 comes to mind, but this is a whole new monster. Just a couple of minutes into the second quarter and the Owls have already given up 207 rushing yards.

Okay this isn't fun anymore. Richie James scores again for MT. Blue Raiders now lead 28-7 with 13:39 remaining until the half.

The regression by some of the players is what amazes me.

The worst is when Charlie says we're close. As it stand right now MTSU, WKU and ODU the top three teams in the east have out scored us 95-35.

That's what I just don't get. We know that MT would utilize their deep RB core, mainly Richie James, but this is ridiculous.

We don't have good coaches.

We have a recruiter from the Brett Belima tree (we see how well Bret going) and FCS LB coach.

RE-diculous

Because it was Diculous before!
