Can you believe, 1 minute left in the 3rd quarter that this game was 14-6? Amazing huh? That wasn't until the Owls caught fire and lit up Midd Tenn State for a couple of huge plays. In just 18 seconds the Owls scored off of 3 Blue Raider turnovers starting with one 44 Yard TD pass from Burch to O'Brien to take a 21-6 lead, then on the kickoff the Blue Raiders fumble the ball and the Owls get it at the 22, but because of a facemask they get 15 plus yards, and start their drive at the 7. Wasting no time, the Owls attack the enzone and put up 7 more points on the Raiders making it 28-0. Then to start the 4th quarter the Owls once again nail the returner and return the fumble for 22 yards for the defensive TD. It's now 35-6 in a game that looked like it was going to come down to the wire. The Owls score their final TD on a T.Schneider run, but wow what a turn of events, to be nearing the end of the 3rd with a 8 point lead, and then to just blow away your opponent. It proves again, that in just 1 second, you could be going from winning to being embarrassed by your opponent in college football if you don't keep your focus. In any sport really, no focus, no win and Middle Tennessee State found that out the hard way today.
