The Red Wolves’ attack has piled up over 400 yards in eight of 11 games in 2012 (over 500 yards six times) while scoring at least 30 points in nine outings. Credit senior QB Ryan Aplin who broke the league record for career passing yards and rallied ASU from a shaky 2-3 start to its current 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS run. If Aplin’s 20-to-4 touchdown-interception ration doesn’t grab your attention, how about the fact that in games against seven common opponents this year, the Red Wolves own a solid 112 net YPG stat advantage over the Blue Raiders? MTSU has never won a Sun Belt title outright and the visitors’ soft slate (lined foes a feeble 41-64 SU in 2012) suggests they could be in trouble here. So do the results from the last two meetings with ASU, near-identical 26-point and 27-point whippings administered by the J-boro boys. However, Middle Tennessee had gone 6-1 SUATS in this series before those two setbacks and HC Rick Stockstill enters today’s fray with a 12-2 SUATS career record in SBC games off a SUATS win when his team owns a winning record. The Blue Man Group also happen to be on a nice 4-0 SU and 3-0-1 ATS run of their own. Yes, it will be tough stepping in front of these red-hot Wolves but with the Auburn vacancy proving to be a major distraction for Malzahn, double-digits are hard to pass up with a competent avenging foe like MTSU. Wolves claim the kill but the Blue Raiders grab the green. MIDDLE TENN ST is the BET !!
