Duke-MTSU weather updates: Weather delay called for Blue Devils’ Week 4 football game

The only thing that could slow down Duke football on Saturday, apparently, was Mother Nature.

With the Blue Devils holding a 38-10 lead over Middle Tennessee with 5:21 left in the third quarter, the game entered into a weather delay due to lightning in the area. Duke was facing a fourth-and-6 from its own 6-yard line at the time of the delay.
