Delaware Holds Off Louisiana 20-13 to Win 68 Ventures Bowl

A transition-year waiver put Delaware in the postseason, a chance the Blue Hens validated with explosive plays capped by a last-second breakup.

Overview

  • Jo Silver ran for 116 yards, highlighted by a 61-yard touchdown, and was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
  • Quarterback Nick Minicucci went 19-of-30 for 176 yards with a 35-yard scoring strike to Sean Wilson, who finished with eight catches for 81 yards.
  • Louisiana committed three turnovers, missed an early field goal and managed just one offensive touchdown while averaging 2.7 yards per carry.
  • The Ragin' Cajuns drove from their own 6 to the Delaware 7 in the final minute with no timeouts before an end-zone pass was broken up as time expired.
  • Delaware closes its first FBS season at 7-6 after the waiver-enabled bowl bid, while Louisiana finishes 6-7 following a four-game regular-season surge to qualify.
