Blue Devils must overcome ‘trap game’ against Middle Tennessee

The Blue Devils the Blue Raiders will go to battle on Saturday evening in Tennessee.

Duke travels to Middle Tennessee State University, looking to move above .500 for the first time after getting its first win of the season last week at home against North Carolina A&T.

Middle Tennessee also comes into this matchup at 1-1 with a win last week over Tennessee State while losing in Week 1 to the then No. 7 Michigan Wolverines in the Big House.

The Blue Raiders struck first in that game, leading Michigan 7-0 and then continuing to hold its lead until the end of the first quarter before the Wolverines took a 10-3 lead and didn’t look back en route to a 40-21 victory.
