#7 Middle Tennessee State dodges a bullet on the road winning 35-28 against SMU.

Both teams came into this game 2-0. The Blue Raider beat 2 top 25 teams while SMU beat an FCS team and Rutgers. SMU got the early lead by scoring on their first drive. MTSU would score 14 points in the 1st quarter, however, leading 14-7 going into the 2nd. Both teams would mirror what they did in the first quarter, MTSU gaining a 28-14 lead at the half.

SMU QB Jayson Watts, suffered a serious Fractured Patella injury early in the 3rd quarter, and is likely to miss the rest of the season. Back-up QB Robert Singleton, gave a valiant performance however, going 20/25 199 yards and 2 TDs in the 2nd half. SMU was just too far behind to complete the comeback, falling 7 points shy of an upset. SMU HB John McKenzie lead all non-QBs in total yards with 239 all-purpose yards. MTSU's QB Lance Williams threw up 3 passing TDs with 308 total yards and ran for 1 himself.

Middle Tennessee State will travel to Birmingham, Al next week for a game against the UAB Blazers, who are also currently 3-0.
