Man, we were so close. A questionable spot and a defensive stand away from what we have all been waiting for since the Blue Raiders made the move to 1-A.
We are hungry for a win over a top program and Saturday provided our best chance yet. It was an electric atmosphere inside the Skillet as more than 23K watched the Blue Raiders stand toe to toe and outplay the Cavaliers of Virginia for 59 minutes of football.
People can question the call to punt all they want, but that was the right call. Our defense had been there all night and that was who we wanted on the field at the end. I know fans left the stadium dejected and even angry, but you have to look at what we have accomplished. We have a team that for the large part is made up of freshmen and sophomores.
The future is bright at Middle Tennessee, but we have to stay on the wagon for the hard times. On a side note, it was great to meet so many Virginia fans at the game. They were a class act and we welcome you all back anytime. To Middle Tennessee fans I just say this: The good times are coming and you will want to be here when it happens!
