BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Reggie Whatley posted a career-high 154 yards rushing and three touchdowns as Middle Tennessee edged Florida Atlantic 42-35 in overtime on Saturday.
The Blue Raiders opened overtime with a Logan Kilgore 19-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Griswould and the Middle Tennessee defense intercepted Jaquez Johnson on fourth down to end the game.
A 64-yard scoring burst from Whatley following an FAU turnover gave Middle Tennessee a 35-28 lead with 1:32 remaining. But Johnson found Lucky Whitehead for a 21-yard touchdown on fourth down with three seconds remaining to send the game into overtime.
Middle Tennessee's Jordan Parker added 115 yards rushing and a score, eclipsing the 100-yard mark for the sixth time in his last eight games.
