Momentum from Murfreesboro
The Owls snapped their skid with a 44-28 win at Middle Tennessee. Rickie Collins threw three touchdown passes, Boogie Woods III ran for two scores, and linebacker Tywon Christopher returned an interception for CUSA's first pick six of the season. Christopher was named CUSA Defensive Player of the Week, his second weekly honor this year, and Davis Bryson took Special Teams Player of the Week after piling up 147 all-purpose yards.
Key matchups
Delaware throws it as well as anyone in the league. The Fightin' Blue Hens lead CUSA at 286.3 passing yards per game (13th nationally), and quarterback Nick Minicucci has 14 touchdown passes. Sean Wilson is his top target with 591 yards and five scores.
The Owls' offense ranks first in CUSA in completion percentage and red zone offense. Collins has 1,632 passing yards, Woods leads the ground game with 367 yards and six touchdowns. Christopher has been everywhere lately, with 41 tackles, five tackles for loss, a forced fumble and that pick six over the last four games.
Home cooking
Kennesaw State is 7-3 at home since 2025 under Jerry Mack and 14-5 all-time at home in one-possession games. After three losses by three points or fewer this season, a loud Homecoming crowd could matter.
