  MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — On the cusp of reaching the six-win mark for the fourth time in five years, UL had history on its side against Middle Tennessee going into Saturday's game.

The Ragin' Cajuns, though, will have to wait for that sixth win after watching their three-game winning streak in Murfreesboro snapped with a 34-17 loss in front of 16,411 at Floyd Stadium.

After leading 17-14 at the half, UL was held scoreless in the second half as the Blue Raiders rolled up 335 yards of total offense and 20 unanswered points to extend their winning streak to four games.

The Cajuns (5-5, 3-3 Sun Belt) had won five of the previous six meetings in the series but were unable to continue the consistent play that produced a 21-18 win over Arkansas State one week earlier.

"We did a lot of things well in the first half," said UL receiver Richie Falgout, who caught a game-high six passes for 76 yards. "But they (MTSU) came out in the second half and just totally outplayed us. We didn't make the adjustments we needed to make.

I hope for the players and the fans sake that they DO NOT get the "sixth win" that they keep talking about in this article. What does 6 wins get us you may ask? Bustle for another year. Not a bowl game. Not a successful season. Bustle. Players if you are reading this, PLEASE TANK THE NEXT TWO GAMES, so we don't have to see that joke of a coach on the sidelines any more.

Second that. I never want to see players throw a game. If they are willing to do that once they will do it again for some other reason. You don't want that on the team. The players need to play hard and play to win. Its up to the administration to make the tough decisions about the staff.
