The Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders and the Army West Point Black Knights will face off at 1:30 p.m. ET Sept. 5 at Blaik Field at Michie Stadium to kick off their 2020 seasons. Last year was nothing to brag about for the Blue Raiders (4-8), so the team is looking forward to a new start. Likewise, Army West Point struggled last year, too, ending up 5-8.
Two last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Middle Tenn. ranked 18th worst in the nation with respect to passing yards allowed per game last season, where the squad gave up 265.3 on average (bottom 87%). Army West Point experienced some struggles of their own as they were second worst when it came to passing yards per game last season, with the squad coming up with only 82 on average. So maybe these sore spots will just cancel each other out if things haven't changed too much in the offseason.
