Big win for Denver. The ESPN guys kept mentioning how excited the students were to have the school's first ESPN televised home game, and it was a festive atmosphere. It helped that the Pioneers put on a matchup-zone clinic, their offense was a thing of beauty with lots of drives and back doors against MTSU's defensive pressure, and Udofia had a big game making some smart athletic plays at both ends. BTW, MTSU looks like a team you wouldn't want to run into at the NCAAs.
