This right here is what I call the sports version of "FAKE NEWS". MTU was 8-5 last year and aside from beating Missouri they beat a bunch of nobodies. Just like they always do year in and year out. They beat up on the Jackson St's of the world. Aside from Missouri last year they haven't beaten anyone good recently and maybe ever. Here are there recent wins...
2016--La Tech, FAU, FIU, Alabama A&M, Bowling Green, North Texas, Charlotte, Missouri
2015--Jackson St, Charlotte, FIU, Marshall, FAU, La Tech, UTSA
2014--Savannah, Western Kent, Old Dominion, Southern Miss, UAB, FAU
2013-Western Carolina, Memphis, FAU, Marshall, UAB, FIU, UTEP, Southern Miss,
I think the point is proven. Aside from a lucky win vs Missouri they haven't beaten anyone decent (even in the win vs Missouri, MTU gave up around 650 total yards to Missouri's offense and 350 yards rushing, and Missouri handed them a gift.) Let's not polish a turd here and make MTU out to be Michigan St. They are a run of the mill team in a bad conference that beats up on a bunch of nobodies year in and year out.
