Practice report coming this afternoon. Stay tuned.

Starts up in a few minutes. I have it covered.

I wasn’t sure and didn’t see that we had a thread for College Football News in general. If we do, I can edit/move the post but adding here for now.

BleedTechBlue caught up with Sam Doughton of the Middle Tennessee Athletic Department to preview the Blue Raiders:

What will it take to knock off Middle Tennessee on Saturday?

What would Skip’s record be if he was coaching this season?

You got to think we still get Lyddy. Do the Bell bros and Means stay?

Check ‘em out:

What do the numbers say about the Middle Tennessee defense? @ntruppel takes a look:

The Dunkin’ Dogs will have closed scrimmages against UT-Arlington & Oral Roberts before the season starts on November 7th, per sources.

With today's road win I think the Lady Techsters Soccer team is now in 3rd place in the C-USA standings.

The Blue Raiders offense is at its best when Cunningham is connecting on big plays.

BTB Radio is tonight at 6 PM on SportsTalk 97.7 FM.

I should have the guests finalized later this morning.

We’ll discuss the loss to FIU, goals of the final 4 games, and should Tech go back to Parker McNeil?

Hoops season starts in 6 days, we’ll touch on that as well!

It’ll be VERY INTERESTING to see is LSU is on Tech’s schedule in 2023.

Following the game in Baton Rouge last season, Jay Johnson told Lane Burroughs that the series would not be continuing for the foreseeable future…

The Ouachita Valley QB Club meets this evening at 6:30 at Catfish Charlies in Monroe. Come out if you can.

Check 'em out!

Trent Taylor (Bengals) - 13 snaps played, 58 PFF grade, 0 targets, 62.9 PFF grade as a punt returner, 3 returns for 40 yards (Taylor ranks 3rd in the NFL averaging 12.1 yards per punt return)

Boston Scott (Eagles) - Bye Week

Milton Williams (Eagles) - Bye Week

Xavier Woods (Panthers) - 67 snaps played, 74.9 PFF grade, 4 tackles, 1 STOP, 2/3 for 21 yards when targeted

Justin Ellis (Giants) - 13 snaps played, 58 PFF grade, 1 QB pressure, 1 QB hurry, 1 tackle

Amik Robertson (Raiders) - 35 snaps played, 56.1 PFF grade, 1 tackle, 1/3 for 3 yards when targeted

L'Jarius Sneed (Chiefs) - 68 snaps played, 63.7 PFF grade, 1 QB pressure, 5 tackles, 3 STOPs, 3/4 for 31 yards when targeted, 1 PBU

So I’m watching Rice / PVAMU

First two thoughts are Rice is just totally depleted of any sort of athleticism. They’re way less twitchy and explosive than Prairie View.

And if they are going to seriously run that offense in CUSA....no way. Didn’t they learn from what UTEP JUST tried and failed miserably to do?

#10 in America.

Check it out:

Louisiana Tech & FIU are scheduled for a 7 PM kickoff on Friday night.

The game will be aired on CBS Sports Network.

Tech is 4-0 all-time against FIU. The Bulldogs are 2-0 down in Miami.

Tech is currently a 6-point favorite, O/U is at 57.

DeShon Hall, Rasheed Lyles, BeeJay Williamson, and Jaiden Cole will return to the starting lineup on defense.

Julien Lewis will return on the offensive side of the ball.

Griffin Hebert is very questionable. I would expect Nate Jones to start at TE.

Tahj McGee is out with a concussion.

Landry Lyddy is scheduled to make his first career start quarterback for the Bulldogs.

Need a W. Let’s go!!!

Middle Tennessee opens as a 2-point road favorite.
