  09/21 WEEK 3 CUSA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jackson Lowe, MTSU - Jr. - DB - Brentwood, Tenn.,...Lowe was responsible for two of the most pivotal plays, as the Blue Raiders (2-1) triumphed 27-20 over Nevada in a back-and-forth affair. On the first play from scrimmage in the second half, he hopped on his own forced fumble following a strip sack of Carter Jones that led to a go-ahead touchdown pass four plays later. Then, with the Wolf Pack driving to try and tie the game up, Lowe stuffed Dominic Kelley at the line of scrimmage on 4th-and-2 to force a turnover on downs and allow MTSU to run out the clock. Lowe finished the game with six total tackles, including three solo stops to go with the key strip sack. - CUSA Football

  Roman Gagliano threw for a touchdown and scrambled for another to lead Middle Tennessee to a 31-17 victory over Sam Houston on Saturday for the Blue Raiders' first Conference USA win of the season while ending a seven-game losing streak. With the score tied at 10, Gagliano threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Jekail Middlebrook with 5 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter then made his way to the end zone for a 33-yard touchdown early in the fourth.

  Nicholas Vattiato scrambled 5 yards for a touchdown with 21 seconds remaining, lifting Middle Tennessee to a 14-13 victory over Nevada on Saturday. Middle Tennessee (1-2) was shut out until Vattiato threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Nahzae Cox with 6 1/2 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Nevada responded with an 8-play, 51-yard drive but Joe McFadden missed a 41-yard field-goal attempt. The Blue Raiders took possession with 2 minutes remaining and Vattiato drove them 76 yards in 11 plays. On the go-ahead touchdown, he dropped back to pass, broke free from the rush and scrambled off-tackle into the end zone. Jacob Hathaway added the extra point to break the tie. Nevada reached the MTSU 39 on the final possession but McFadden missed from 56 yards.

Vattiato completed 27 of 44 passes for 247 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Chubba Purdy threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to Kalen Woods and McFadden added two field goals to give the Wolf Pack (1-2) a 13-0 halftime lead. Purdy and AJ Bianco, who the Wolf Pack consider co-starters, combined on 14-of-24 passing for 166 yards. Both QBs were intercepted once. Nevada's last-minute loss comes one week after a dramatic 20-17 victory over Sacramento State in which Jonathan Maldonado's 36-yard pick-6 in the fourth quarter provided the winning margin. It was the first meeting between the programs. - MTSU/AP College Football
