MT Athletic Communications- Earlier today Middle Tennessee Senior Safety Eric Russell (Cerritos, CA) was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week. This marks the 2nd Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week Award in Russell's career, both have come this season. Russell had a strong all-around day with six tackles, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception in the win over FAU. Five of his stops were solo and he helped the Blue Raider defense recover five fumbles on the night, a new season best for takeaways. Russell, who leads the team with 49 tackles, hauled in his interception three yards deep in the end zone and brought it back to the Florida Atlantic 36-yard line, a 64-yard return. He was part of a Blue Raider defense that limited FAU to 276 total offensive yards, forced six turnovers, and allowed just 14 points. The award gives the Blue Raiders 43 player of the week honors under Rick Stockstill with nine on offense, 18 on defense, and 16 on special teams.

Click to listen to the interview.  Photo by: Mike Hoffman Former Blue Raider, school record holder for sacks, Erik Walden has worked hard to make his dreams of playing in the NFL come true. Adversity has not been able to slow down Walden who has overcome the tragic deaths of family members and getting cut four times in three seasons. Erik has willed himself into one of the keys to the Packers championship run last year and a so far unblemished record this year. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel just wrote a great story on Walden's journey to his current form, it's a great read on a former player that exemplifies the Blue Raider way of life....

- Reposted from MTSUNews.com The rivalry to replenish the American Red Cross's local bank of blood products returns Oct. 3-5. The University is asking students, faculty, staff, alumni, neighbors and residents of surrounding communities to help surpass this year's total collection goal of 1,050 units of blood to save lives and beat WKU. The winner of the 2011 "Bleed Blue, Beat WKU" drive will be announced at halftime of the MTSU-WKU game on Thursday, Oct. 6, at Floyd Stadium. MTSU is the reigning champion, collecting 551 of last year's 1,059 units of blood. Since each donation can help up to three people, the universities' combined efforts helped 3,177 hospital patients, Red Cross officials said. "That's what it's all about," said Diane Turnham, associate director of athletics at MTSU. "While it's always great to compete against Western on the field, it's also satisfying to help others. And we can do both with this blood drive. This is a competition that almost everyone can get involved in, and we hope they will." MTSU's collection site is the Student Health, Wellness and Recreation Center. Donors can give blood:
Reserved parking will be available for blood donors all three days. While walk-in donors will be welcomed, Brittany Durham, donor-recruitment representative for the Red Cross's Tennessee Valley Region Blood Services in Nashville, said donors can make appointments online to avoid waiting. MTSU supporters can go to www.redcrossblood.org, click the blue "Enter Sponsor Code" box in the middle of the page and then enter "mtsu19″ to register and make an appointment, Durham said. For directions to the Rec Center, visit www.mtsu.edu/camprec/directions.shtml. For more information about the blood drive, visit www.mtsu.edu/events/blooddrive.shtml. - Gina E.
