A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for the Delaware vs Jacksonville State game
The Blue Hens have only five games in the books so far this year, carving out a 3-2 record in that time. Delaware opened up with a 35-17 win over Delaware State, then fell in a blowout on the road versus Colorado before escaping 44-41 over UConn. The Hens would keep it going the next week with a 38-16 win versus FIU. In that one Delaware had a nice offensive outing, notching 358 total yards with an 11-of-16 success rate on third-down tries.
In their latest matchup versus Western Kentucky back on October 3, the Blue Hens were up 17-10 going into the second half. Delaware got outscored 17-7 the rest of the way however, resulting in a tough home loss 27-24 in the end. QB Nick Minicucci was 28-of-47 for 314 yards and an interception while also leading the rush on 12 carries for 55 yards and three scores. Jo’Nathan Silver caught five balls for 55 yards, and Jake Thaw had four catches for 55 yards.
Over on the Jacksonville State side, they’ve got a half-dozen outings in the books so far, losing every other game. The Gamecocks’ three wins have come courtesy of Liberty, Murray State and Sam Houston. Otherwise it’s been losses to Central Florida, Georgia Southern and Southern Miss in that time. In the loss to the Golden Eagles, the Gamecocks offense posted 390 total yards, with 262 of those coming on the ground. Trouble is, the offense also coughed up four turnovers along the way.
In their latest game against Sam Houston on October 9, the Gamecocks got another win—but it was close. After falling behind 21-17 after the third quarter, Jacksonville State came back on a 12-6 run to power out the win 29-27. QB Caden Creel finished with a 13-of-17 line for 129 yards, and also rushed for 132 yards and a score. Cam Cook carried 31 times for 218 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while lead receiver Pearson Baldwin had five catches for 72 yards.
Cam Cook has recorded 75+ rushing yards in six consecutive games – longest streak in the FBS, heading into Week 8.
Delaware Blue Hens Player Prop Facts
Heading into Week 8, Nick Minicucci leads the Conference USA for rushing touchdowns (7) this season.
Jacksonville State ranks T18th among FBS teams for 4th down conversion percentage this season (71.4).
Jacksonville State ranks T114th among FBS teams for Q4 opponent points per game this season (8.5).
Delaware ranks T127th among FBS teams for average point differential in third quarters this season (-4.0).
Delaware ranks 12th among FBS teams for Q2 points per game this season (13.2).
I’ll lean toward Delaware, but you could call it either way. The Blue Hens had their ups and downs in the Western Kentucky loss, but did fairly well on offense—statistically speaking. Delaware racked up 435 yards, 5.3 yards per play, 29 first downs and a nice 9-of-16 success rate on third-down tries. The defense gave up 9-of-14 on the other side, however. The good news is that Delaware has scored 24 or more points in four of five games so far this year and 38 or more in two of the last three. The bad news is that they’re still giving up quite a bit of points on the other side.
As for Jacksonville State, they rushed for a whopping 370 yards in their latest victory over a winless Sam Houston team but still won by just two points. The Gamecocks should be quite competitive here if they can duplicate that kind of success on the ground.
