He has also carried 28 times for 155 yards and five scores. Last season, Harris started the first four games before suffering a season-ending arm injury. He completed 66 of 91 passes for 486 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing 39 times for 126 yards.
Sophomore wide receiver Joshua Cephus is Harris' top target with 14 receptions for 133 yards (9.5 average) and two touchdowns. Last season, Harris played in all 12 games, earning a start in five. He finished with eight catches for 153 yards (19.1) and a touchdown. His best game was against Southern Mississippi on Nov. 16 when he had a season-best 95 receiving yards on just three catches, including a 75-yard TD.
Why MTSU can cover
Redshirt junior quarterback Asher O'Hara drives the Blue Raiders' offense, leading the team in rushing and passing. He has completed 25 of 37 passes (67.6 percent) for 155 yards, while rushing 24 times for 63 yards (2.6 average) and one score. Last year, O'Hara became just the second quarterback in school history to reach 1,000 yards rushing in a season, and first since Dwight Dasher in 2009. O'Hara led MTSU in rushing in 11 of 12 games in 2019, including the last 10. He has led the team once in two games this year.
Also powering the offense is senior wide receiver Jarrin Pierce, who leads the team with 15 receptions for 114 yards (7.6 average). In 2019, Pierce played in all 12 games, earning starts in 10, and finished second on the team with 42 receptions for 562 yards and four TDs. In a game against Michigan on Aug. 31, he had three receptions and caught his first touchdown pass as a Blue Raider. He also led the team with a career-best six catches at Iowa on Sept. 28.
