Home opener to be broadcast nationally
MURFREESBORO – Middle Tennessee's home opener on Sept. 19 against Troy will now be broadcast nationally on ESPNU at 3 PM. The game was previously set to appear on ESPN3 or ESPN+ as part of the Conference USA television partnership.
The Blue Raiders and Troy will play a home-and-home this season due to changes in the schedule by COVID-19.
Middle Tennessee and Troy were Sun Belt Conference rivals with the game annually billed as "The Battle for the Palladium." The first meeting was in 1936 but The Battle for the Palladium began in 2003.
The Palladium currently resides in Murfreesboro after the Blue Raiders defeated Troy 24-21 in the last meeting in 2012. ESPN ranked the rivalry game as one of the Top 5 non-BCS games in 2008.
