Bowl eligibility remains in Blue Raiders' sights

MURFREESBORO — Plenty of meaningful carrots remain dangling for MTSU football as it enters the final third of the season.

As tall a task as it might seem, especially with two-time Conference USA champion Marshall visiting Floyd Stadium on Saturday, the Blue Raiders can still run the table of four remaining games for a winning season at 7-5 or win three of four to get to 6-6 and become bowl eligible for a fourth-straight year and seventh time in eight under 11th-year coach Rick Stockstill.
