Delaware Dominates FIU Behind Strong Second Quarter
Delaware defeated Florida International 38-16 in Week 4 play, with the Fightin' Blue Hens pulling away decisively in the second quarter. The visitors scored 21 points in that period alone to take control of the contest.
Nick Minicucci led Delaware's offense through the air with 218 passing yards, including a 36-yard completion to Kyre Duplessis in the fourth quarter that moved the chains. The Delaware defense made an early impact with an interception by Mysonne Pollard off a Jenkins pass in the first quarter.
Florida International's offense managed limited success despite Alex Perry's team-leading 84 receiving yards. The Panthers scored touchdowns in the first and fourth quarters but couldn't generate sustained momentum. A notable Anthony Carrie rushing play for 53 yards set up scoring opportunities late, but the deficit proved insurmountable.
Delaware's balanced attack and defensive pressure—highlighted by several crucial stops—proved too much for the home team. The win saw the Fightin' Blue Hens cover the spread as the away team, while the game finished under the 55.5-point over/under mark.
