- Play of the Weekend: On third-and-long in the red zone, MTSU lined up in a clear Cover 1 man coverage. LA Tech had the perfect play called—a switch between both receivers on each side, running verticals. At the top of the screen, the switch created a pick, leaving one of the defensive backs trailing in coverage. Bullock kept his eyes down the middle, holding the safety in place as he dropped back. On his third step, he snapped his eyes to his target and delivered the ball right on time, strategically placing it slightly behind the receiver to protect him from the deep safety, resulting in a touchdown – an impressive and savvy play from a redshirt freshman making his first start.
