Delaware Erases a 7-point Hole and Beats Coastal Carolina 22-14
Sean Wilson caught nine passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns. The second one, a 36-yarder from Nick Minicucci with 8:19 left in the fourth quarter, was the last score of the game and turned a one-point Delaware lead into the 22-14 final.
Coastal Carolina started fast. Deuce Bailey hit Goldie Lawrence for a 62-yard touchdown in the first quarter and Colton Hinton for 27 yards at 8:19 of the second, which put Coastal Carolina up 14-7. That was every point they got. Delaware answered with a 2-yard run from Jo Silver and a two-point conversion (Minicucci ran it in) with 35 seconds left in the half, and went to the break up 15-14. Neither team scored in the third quarter. Wilson then made it 22-14, and Delaware outscored Coastal Carolina 15-0 from the middle of the second quarter on.
The yardage was close, 397 for Delaware and 385 for Coastal Carolina, and Bailey was fine too: 16 of 26 for 250, two touchdowns, 12 carries for 42. The difference was the ball. Coastal Carolina lost two fumbles (Bailey lost one of them) and Delaware lost none, and Delaware had four sacks to Coastal Carolina's two. Minicucci threw for 302 yards on 24 of 32, and the 95 rushing yards were a bonus.
Delaware is 2-1. Coastal Carolina falls to 1-2 after leading 14-7 and then scoring nothing again.
For fantasy, Wilson's 39.5 points were the best in the game by 13. Bailey (26.2) and Minicucci (25.1) were separated by about a point.
