Conference USA football comes to Delaware Stadium for the first time Oct. 3.

Parents and Family Weekend guarantees a big crowd and Delaware’s bid to make a favorable first impression at home on national TV warrants attention.

Kickoff is at 7 p.m. between the Blue Hens (3-1 overall, 1-0 CUSA) and Hilltoppers (4-1, 2-0).
