Today we discuss the college football history of the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. This program, which dates back to 1911, posted 8 undefeated teams. One national championship on the NAIA level, one coach with a near perfect four year stretch, three stellar coaches, one shutout to secure a national championship, one defensive meltdown that ended a very long stretch of consecutive shutouts, one coach who opted for an extra point instead of going for two to secure the perfect season, one stunning tie to diffuse a perfect season, eight undefeated teams, one national championship team, statistically speaking, one of the greatest teams in the history of college football, one ‘Player of the Decade’, one quarterback who rewrote the school’s passing records, one receiver who rewrote the school’s receiving records, one longtime rival, one exceptional rushing defense, one exceptional rushing offense, one first quarter explosion, and of course, Lightening.
