Entering his third year at the head of the MTSU program, Raider boss Boots Donnelly says his 1981 squad will be improved and tougher. Out of 43 le tt e rmen on the 1980 unit, Donnelly has 38 returning to the fold. The biggest loss was senior kicker Gerald Robinson, who handled the Raiders' field goal and extra point duties all last season.

Offensively, 17 lettermen return, headed by versatile runningback Sammy Bryant and junior quarterback Brown Sanford. Bryant led MTS U in rushing with a 63.5 yard average per game and in pass receiving with a mark of 24.4 yards per contest. Sanford, who suffered arm problems last year, averaged 111.7 yards passing and 8.3 yards rushing per game last year.

Defensively, the Blue Raiders return 21 lettermen. That unit will sport an even-front look in 1981, having switched to this formation late last season.

Eastern leads the series, 15-13-0.
