The Huskies are 3-1 for the first time since the 2014 season, heading into the final weekend of play. But as always, the CAA race is a tight one.
OF NOTE: The game at Delaware has been moved up from the previously scheduled time of 6 p.m. to 5 p.m. So if you heading to the game get there early! Or if you are planning on watching from home, get to CAA.TV an hour sooner.
