Kennesaw State Beats Delaware 42-40 After Eight Lead Changes
Eight lead changes, and the last team to score still lost. Delaware got a 17-yard touchdown from Nick Minicucci to Bryson Graves with 24 seconds left, went for two to tie it, missed, and Kennesaw State walked away with a 42-40 win.
Davis Bryson returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown with 14:47 left in the first quarter, and the game never settled down after that. Delaware took a 15-6 lead on a Viron Ellison Jr. run and a 7-yard interception return by Trace Scott III, and Kennesaw State came back from that nine-point hole with an 8-yard Rickie Collins run and a 26-yard touchdown run to lead 20-15. Delaware went back up 22-20, Kennesaw State went up 23-22 on a field goal and 30-22 on a 1-yard touchdown run with 22 seconds left in the half, and Tucker Smack's 54-yard field goal as the half expired made it 30-25 at the break.
Delaware passed for 408 yards on 35 of 54, against 85 on the ground, and still scored 40 with no interceptions. Kennesaw State threw two and Delaware's defense had two sacks, but the Owls had Reed Jesiolowski's 63-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter and Daniel Kinney's 35-yard field goal at 8:25 to go up 42-34. Delaware's last touchdown was the only scoring after that.
The record: Kennesaw State is 3-6, Delaware 4-5.
Fantasy managers got a lot out of this one. Graves had 27.5 points on seven catches for 125 yards, Minicucci 28, and Kennesaw State's Alan Woods III 26.2 with two touchdowns.
