What’s at stake: MT hopes to right its ship after back to back sizeable defeats to Troy and Mississippi State. The Blue Raiders need a win to nudge back above .500 for the year and stay in contention for the Sun Belt championship and a potential bowl berth. WKU is still looking for its first win of the season and the back end of the Hilltoppers’ conference schedule looks daunting. If the Toppers don’t win one of their next two games, then an 0-12 season starts to look more and more likely.

THE COACHES
	Middle Tennessee head coach Rick Stockstill is in his fourth season with the Blue Raiders and this will be his third matchup against Western Kentucky. He is 1-1 against the Toppers with the win coming last year in Bowling Green following a home loss to WKU in 2007. Stockstill is 14-9 in Sun Belt games during his tenure. WKU head coach David Elson is in his seventh season as WKU head coach and holds a 39-38 overall record. Elson has served on the staff at WKU in some capacity since 1996 and was the defensive coordinator on the Toppers’ 2002 NCAA Division 1-AA national championship team. Elson’s tenure at WKU has hit a rough patch with the program’s move to FBS football. WKU has lost 14 straight games and hasn’t beaten an FBS opponent since 2007.
