Delaware begins a series of nationally televised Tuesday games against Middle Tennessee on October 10. The Blue Hens, coming off a 30-14 loss to Liberty, hold a 2-3 record as they seek to improve their standing in Conference USA. Quarterback Nick Minicucci is recovering from a knee injury, leaving backups to adjust ahead of upcoming contests.
