Minicucci nears pocket perfection sending Delaware past Florida International 24-16
Newark, Del. (AP) — Nick Minicucci had a stellar performance, completing 27 of 30-pass attempts for 230 yards and two touchdowns as Delaware secured a 24-16 victory over Florida International. The Fighting Blue Hens never trailed throughout the game, showcasing their resilience and dominance on the field. Florida International's JJ Kohl managed 313 yards and a touchdown through the air, but his interception twice proved costly for the Panthers.
Delaware's Maguire Anderson contributed significantly with nine catches for 122 yards. The Panthers had their moments, leading at 7 and 10, but ultimately couldn't extend their lead. Minicucci sealed the win late in the game, scoring on a 1-yard touchdown run with just 3:49 left on the clock after Florida International turned it over on downs.
Florida International faces Kennesaw State on the road next Saturday, while Delaware heads west to take on New Mexico State.
