After a head-scratching performance on offense in week one, Middle Tennessee bounced back in a big way, securing a 30-23 win over Syracuse in the Carrier Dome. Brent Stockstill returned to his usual self, accounting for 269 yards and three touchdowns on 22/36 passing, tossing just one interception. MTSU Defensive Coordinator Scott Shafer returned to his old stomping grounds in New York and led his unit to one of the better defensive showings I can remember seeing from a Blue Raiders team in recent memory. MTSU held Syracuse to just 308 yards of total offense as the Orange earned just 4.
