Week five will see a reduction in the number of overall games, as eight teams will be facing off in Conference USA tilts. FIU and Western Kentucky are the lone asides, who will be in FBS non-conference action. LA Tech is on a bye.

There are a couple games of note which could have significant standings impact potential down the line (*). Below is the full schedule for the week, which begins on Friday night with the Road Runners taking on the Blue Raiders, who are fresh off an upset of Miami.


FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30

*UTSA at Middle Tennessee (CBSSN) 7:30 pm


SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1

*Florida Atlantic at North Texas (ESPN+) 4 pm

UTEP at Charlotte (ESPN3) 6 pm

Troy at WKU (ESPN+) 7 pm

UAB at Rice (ESPN+) 7:30 pm

FIU at New Mexico State (FLO Sports) 8 pm

MTSU kicking off the weekend with a home game against UTSA on CBSSN.

They will be without EJ Chism, who had 169 yards on just two catches against Miami, which is obviously a substantial threat loss.

They are down 10-0 with 4:14 to play in the first quarter.

They simply have to do something with the targeting rules.

MTSU defender just got ejected for lowering his helmet and hitting HIS OWN PLAYER.

 

Halftime:

UTSA 31  MTSU 20

The Blue Raiders connect on a FG as time expires.

Roadrunner QB Frank Harris is 16-of-19 for 300 yards.

SOOO glad we don't play them this year.

Looked to be UTSA's game to walk out, but MTSU get's their third pick six of the year from a defensive lineman to swing the momentum.

They now trail 38-30 with 10:32 to play.

This would be why the Owls have now become underdogs against them.

Everyone ragged on the administration for extending Stockstill's contract, including fans.

Joke is on them.

Guy is the MacGyver of college football. Dealt blow after blow while there and continues to come up with ways to remain competitive.

AND the Blue Raiders intercept Harris on the next possession.

Here we go…

The softest roughing the passer penalty ever (a slap to the helmet) wipes away a pick six by UTSA.

Middle then converts a 4th and one.

Wow, great game.

Unfortunate offensive pass interference sets MTSU back on 3rd down and they can't get out of the hole. That will probably do it.

FINAL:

UTSA 45  MTSU 30

The Blue Raiders allow the late TD with no other option than to try and score quickly then kick on sides.

Both of these teams really impressed me. I dont know how Stockstill does it.
