Western Kentucky dominated Middle Tennessee 42-26 in another thrilling chapter of the 100 Miles of Hate rivalry. Quarterback Rodney Tisdale Jr. was electric, accounting for four total touchdowns including three passing strikes and an 8-yard rushing score. The Blue Raiders kept it close, pulling within two points in the fourth quarter, but the Hilltoppers slammed the door with two late touchdowns – including La'Vell Wright's second rushing TD of the day, a 37-yard dagger with under two minutes remaining.
