Middle Tennessee State’s football team will try to make it two Conference USA wins in a row when the Blue Raiders play host to Florida Atlantic on Saturday (2:30 CT, ESPN+).
The Blue Raiders (5-5, 2-4 C-USA) are coming off a 24-14 win over Charlotte while the Owls (5-5, 4-2) rolled past Florida International 52-7 last week, their second win in a row.
Following is a scouting report on the game, including a score prediction by The Daily News Journal’s Cecil Joyce:
