MTSU amid most difficult part of schedule

Harry · October 10, 2013

MTSU’s football team is in the midst of a very difficult four-game grind.

All seasons are a grind on any team, but this “second season” of sorts has been, and will continue to be, very difficult for the Blue Raiders.
If you take MTSU’s schedule and break it down into three seasons, you’ll find that this is easily the most brutal stretch.

Coming out of the first four games, it was expected that MTSU would be 3-1. A loss at North Carolina wasn’t bad, and one have assumed the Blue Raiders would knock off Western Carolina, Memphis and Florida Atlantic.

However, the second season of the three is against BYU, East Carolina, North Texas and Marshall. Those teams have a combined record of 12-8 going into this weekend’s action.

MTSU, coming off a tough 24-17 loss at home to ECU, visits North Texas on Saturday. The Blue Raiders are close to a touchdown underdog.

A road win would be huge, particularly when you start looking at the bigger picture on down the road. We’ll do that shortly.
