MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) — Roman Gagliano threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for another score as Middle Tennessee rallied past Delaware 33-30 on Tuesday night.
The Blue Raiders (3-3, 1-1 Conference USA) trailed 30-26 in the fourth quarter before Gagliano led a 10-play, 93-yard drive and connected with Neo Clifton for a 14-yard touchdown with 3:06 remaining.
Delaware (2-4, 0-2) played without starting quarterback Nick Minicucci for the second straight game. Tyler Bell threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns in his place.
Middle Tennessee took a 19-16 lead on the first play of the second half when Gagliano found Koraun Perdue for an 80-yard touchdown. Bell answered with a 33-yard scoring pass to Josh Humes before Gagliano connected with Clifton for an 18-yard touchdown.
