Trailing at the half, quarterback Roman Gagliano hit tight end Koraun Perdue on the first play of the third quarter, sparking a second half offensive surge for the Blue Raiders. Perdue outran everyone on the way to the end zone for a 80-yard touchdown - the longest scoring play by a tight end in MTSU history. Perdue on Middle Tennessee’s resilience after giving up the lead before halftime: mtsusidelines.com/2026/10/14…

“You’ve gotta set your chin when you step into the ring for these fights. And these are going to be fights. These are going to be fights. So, you gotta be resilient … and for the first time, you know, in a long time, I saw this group set their chin, and we just got back to work.” How MTSU football outlasted Delaware in a ‘heavyweight fight’ mtsusidelines.com/2026/10/14…

With roughly 10 minutes left in the game, @MT_FB gave up consecutive back-breaking plays. Delaware scored a 23-yard touchdown on a trick play to take a 30-26 lead, then forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. With their back against the wall, MTSU’s defense forced a punt and got the ball back to the offense in a critical moment. Linebacker Ashton Taylor on the team staying tough mentally:

What followed: @MT_FB quarterback Roman Gagliano led a 10-play, 93-yard drive that took nearly five minutes off the clock. Gagliano capped the drive with a 15-yard strike to Neo Clifton for the game’s winning score - Clifton’s second TD catch of the day. Gagliano on the team’s philosophy on the drive:

As expected, Delaware will be without starting quarterback Nick Minicucci. Junior signal caller Braden Streeter and sophomore EJ Archield Jr. are the likely options to start in Minicucci’s place. MTSU will notably be without starting safety Kalen Woods in tonight’s contest. Woods leads the Blue Raiders in forced turnovers this season with three across the Blue Raiders’ first five games.

Stop if you’ve heard this one before … @MT_FB is playing against a team with questions at quarterback. @Delaware_FB starter Nick Minicucci missed last week’s game against @LibertyFootball due to injury, and the Blue Hens used three different QBs. It’s currently unclear whether Minicucci will return in time to play the Blue Raiders. MTSU head coach Derek Mason detailed the differences between Delaware’s options at quarterback on Thursday:
