There are games that sell themselves with history, rivalry or playoff pressure. Missouri vs Delaware is a little more straightforward: it is a Conference USA matchup with a clear start time, a national TV window and enough edge to matter for both sides. On Tuesday, October 20, Missouri State visits Delaware at 7 p.m. ET, and for fans who just want the essentials, this is the place to start.
The viewing guide is simple enough. The game will be shown on ESPNU, with streaming available through Unlimited. That gives supporters multiple ways to follow the Missouri State Bears and Delaware Blue Hens as they meet at Delaware Stadium. For viewers in other time zones, that means a 4 p.m. PT kickoff and a 5 p.m. MST start.
What Missouri State and Delaware bring in
Missouri State enters at 2-4 overall and 1-1 in conference play after beating Kennesaw State, so there is at least some momentum behind the Bears. Delaware is also 2-4, but the Blue Hens are still searching for their first Conference USA victory. That is the kind of record line that turns a midweek game into something more than just another date on the schedule.
The betting line also reflects a fairly tight matchup, with Missouri State listed at +130 and Delaware at -155. That does not make the game glamorous, but it does make it worth watching closely. Conference USA football has a habit of producing games that look ordinary on paper and end up telling you a great deal about where a program stands.
So if you are planning to watch Missouri vs Delaware, the headline details are already in place: Tuesday, October 20, 7 p.m. ET, on ESPNU, with Unlimited carrying the stream. The records say both teams need a lift, and that usually makes for a more interesting night than the schedule first suggests.
