HEARTBREAKER
Offense Can't Overcome Mistakes in 33-36 Loss to FIU

Miami (FL) - MTSU has only themselves to blame for their first loss of the 2012 season. The Blue Raiders fumbled twice, with both being returned for touchdowns. Carlos Lopez missed an extra point that turned out to be crucial, and a handful of passes went in and out of the hands of receivers that would have sustained drives. In the end, Florida International made the plays they had to make to win the game, and Middle Tennessee did not.
