Delaware Preview
Delaware quarterback Nick Minicucci has 1,379 yards with 8 touchdowns and 3 interceptions on 65% passing. Kyre Duplessis leads the receivers with 340 yards and 2 scores, and Sean Wilson has 236 yards. The running game has performed well with Jo Silver at 373 yards and 3 touchdowns, and Minicucci has 7 TDs on designed keepers and scrambles. Pass protection has not always held up for the Blue Hens. Minicucci has been sacked 10 times, and Jacksonville State brings pressure.
Linebacker Gavin Moul leads Delaware with 41 tackles, while Dillon Trainer has 2.5 sacks. Safety Mysonne Pollard has made 2 interceptions, and Kahlil Ali has a pick-six on his ledger. Delaware needs to have success on first and second down from Silver and quick throws to keep the pressure off Minicucci. Kicker Nate Reed is only 3-for-7 on field goals.
Jacksonville State Preview
Jacksonville State’s offense is led by its ground game. Cam Cook has 832 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns on 142 carries (5.9 yards per carry). Quarterbacks Gavin Wimsatt and Caden Creel both have contributed well: Wimsatt has 238 rushing yards and 4 scores, and Creel has 381 yards and 3 scores. In the passing game, Brock Rechsteiner leads with 215 yards receiving and 3 touchdowns.

The defense is active up front. Jacksonville State has 14 sacks, with Emmanuel Oyebadejo leading with 2.5. Safety Trevor Woods leads with 35 tackles and has an interception. This front four can easily pressure the pocket without needing blitzing from the linebackers or secondary. If Jacksonville State makes big gains on first and second down, they can control time of possession and keep Delaware’s offense off the field.
Delaware vs Jacksonville State Prediction
Delaware throws it better, but Jacksonville State’s running game and its pass rush make the difference when playing at home. Expect the Gamecocks to run much more often than pass, to shorten the game, and on defense force Delaware into longer third downs where the rush can pressure the QB into making mistakes. Final Score Prediction: Jacksonville State Gamecocks win and cover 27–20.
