Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders

Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders were low with their scoring since they were averaging just 26.3 points per game. The defense was not balanced as they surrendered close to 30 points against opponents. The Blue Raiders covered 400 plus yards per game and gave up close to 460. There have been no changes in the quarterback positions as Asher O’Hara and Chase Cunningham will return this season. From the receiving end, Jarrin Pierce will take his spot once again while Chaton Mobley adds to the squad. The Blue Raiders are trying to stick to their same squad, but they need more focus in scoring this year.

Players to watch: QB A. O’Hara (210 CMP, 335 ATT 2,616 YDS, 62.7 CMP%, 7.8 AVG, 90 LNG, 20 TD), WR Z. Dobson (17 ATT, 113 YRD, 6.6 AVG, 21 LNG 0 TD), RB B. Anderson (37 ATT, 170 YRD, 4.0 AVG, 38 LNG, 3 TD).

Army Black Knights

Army Black Knights did well last year to maintain a balance between their offensive and defensive line. The Knights touched an average of 28 plus points per game while surrendering 23 to opponents. Army averaged close to 380 yards per game on average while surrendering 342. The present issue for the Army is to find a quarterback that will take the place of Kelvin Hopkins Jr. Christian Anderson might be the other option alongside Jabari Laws as their backup. From the running back spot, Sandon McCoy will return after rushing 576 yards last season. The other notable players will be Arik Smit and Edriece Patterson from the defensive end.

Players to watch: QB C. Anderson (7 CMP, 23 ATT 135 YDS, 30.4 CMP%, 5.9 AVG, 80 LNG, 1 TD), WR C.Hayes (1 ATT, 35 YRD, 35.0 AVG, 35 LNG 0 TD), RB S. McCoy (134 ATT, 586 YRD, 4.3 AVG, 40 LNG, 10 TD).
