Oh, and where to find the game was in bold in the article itself.

[FONT=verb_regularregular]"It's tough to win on the road, especially going into a new place that you have never been to before," said Stockstill.

MURFREESBORO – After breaking his first punt return 61 yards for a touchdown, MTSU newcomer Ed'Marques Batties declared "I'm a punt returner, not a punt catcher."
Such a distinction could have a major impact on the Blue Raiders' chances at upsetting Minnesota on Saturday (2:30 p.m./Big Ten Network alternate).
Batties, a junior college transfer, and Jared Singletary could each see time at punt returner. Batties is 1-for-1 on punt returns for a TD in his young career, albeit against FCS foe Savannah State. Singletary, a junior, entered last week's opener as the sure-handed veteran, but he muffed a punt in the rain and was replaced by Batties.
Coach Rick Stockstill said they both could see time at punt returner at Minnesota.
"At punt returner, we'll evaluate that this week and see how both Ed'Marques and Jared do. I believe in competition," Stockstill said. "We are going to put the guy that gives us the best chance to be successful back there."
Electric kick returner Reggie Whatley will also be on the field. Despite a hip injury that sidelined him for much of preseason camp, Whatley was inserted at kick returner and running back in the opener. However, he never touched the ball on special teams, as Savannah State notched touchbacks on its only two kickoffs.
Whatley is MTSU's all-time leader in kick return average in both a single season (30.1 yards per return in 2012) and career (27.7 ypr). Batties is listed as the other kick returner for Saturday's game..
In its opening win over Eastern Illinois, the Golden Gophers recorded five touchbacks on seven kickoffs. And those two kick returns went for only 40 yards total.
None of Minnesota's six punts were returned, which included two touchbacks and one fair catch. Punter Peter Mortell is on the Ray Guy Award watch list, notched a 43.3 yards-per-punt average last season to rank third all-time in Minnesota history and booted two punts of at least 60 yards last week.
