MTSU's Rick Stockstill continues to bash Miami after upset win: 'They gave $1.5 million'

Middle Tennessee State University head football coach Rick Stockstill won't stop bashing the Miami Hurricanes after his team upset them on the road this past week.

Middle Tennessee State University head football coach Rick Stockstill is continuing his media tour where he's not holding any thoughts back on pulling off the biggest upset of the season thus far over Miami this past week

This time around, Stockstill spoke to "104.5 The Zone" in Nashville about the 45-31 win over the Hurricanes, and mentioned that the program paid MTSU $1.5 million to travel to Florida to play them on their home turf. 

Why? It was supposed to be an easy win. But Stockstill's squad didn't see that come to fruition.

"They ran for 194 yards against Texas A&M, the number whatever team in the country at this point," he said. "They ran for 68 against us. They averaged 1.6 yards per carry. They gave $1.5 million. We gave them 1.6 yards per carry."

After the game, he explained how his Blue Raiders were 26-point underdogs to Miami, but a few defensive stops near their end zone and stellar offense changed the narrative about his program entirely. 

"It’s always fun to do stuff that nobody thinks you can do," he told reporters. "Coming down here 26-point dogs and kicking their butt like we said, ‘cause it was a butt-kicking. There was no fluke to this. Just really proud of our team. We were the tougher team here tonight."

MTSU quarterback Chase Cunningham only threw 25 times, but his receivers made it count as he totaled 408 yards with three touchdowns and one interception on 16 completions. 

DJ Chisolm was the lead receiver, catching two bombs downfield for 169 yards on just two catches with both going for scores.
