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.

It has been a disappointing season for the Red Wolves who were supposed to contend with Troy for the Sun Belt Title. Instead they are starring down at just one conference win, and are 0-5 on the road for the season. Middle Tennessee has won and covered four straight, are Bowl eligible, and will be overpriced here because of their recent results. Arkansas State seems to play better against the better teams as they took Iowa to the wire on the road before losing by just 3 points. They went to Louisville, another BCS conference team, and lost by just 8 points. They also lost to Troy by just a field-goal, so they certainly have the ability to stay close enough to cover this one.
