Middle Tennessee State vs. Arkansas State

CAMELLIA BOWL - Motivation shouldn't be an issue for Middle Tennessee, which is ecstatic to be in a bowl game after starting the season 3-5 and coming back to win three of its last four games. The big reason for the resurgence was the return of quarterback Brent Stockstill (coach's son), who suffered serious injuries in the second game of the season. Stockstill has 1,440 passing yards with 14 touchdowns and his top receiver is Ty Lee, who has 74 catches for 916 yards and five touchdowns. The last time these teams met was in 2012 and the Blue Raiders finally have a chance to return the favor for a 45-0 shellacking by Arkansas State. The Blue Raiders come off a 41-10 win over Old Dominion in which Stockstill was 21-of-30 for 266 yards and three touchdowns and they outgained the Monarchs 586-305. Arkansas State split its last four games, including a 32-25 loss to Troy in the regular season finale. Troy capitalized on a 100-yard interception return and a 99-yard kickoff return. The Blue Raiders are a small underdog, so play Middle Tennessee on the moneyline.
