Vanderbilt shuts down Middle Tennessee 28-6

The hype was there. The fans showed up early and tailgated all day. The Blue Raider faithful were excited and they were ready for a show.

In fact, about the only thing missing last night in Floyd Stadium was the Blue Raider football team.

Where did that incredible Middle Tennessee offense go that put up points left and right all last season? Where was the team hungry to beat quality opponents?
