Delaware football vs. UTEP live updates. Blue Hens have big early lead

Joe Silver’s 1-yard run scoring run has extended Delaware’s lead to 31-14 with 2:01 left in the first half over UTEP at Delaware Stadium.

The 6-play, 62-yard drive featured Nick Minicucci’s 47-yard pass to Kyre Duplessis on the play before the touchdown.

UTEP had just cut the Blue Hens’ lead to 24-14 with 5:05 left in the second period when Skyler Locklear passed 64 yards to Josh Schuchts his second long TD toss.

Matthews, Moul plays spark Hens

Delaware has turned two more big defensive plays into points.

Blake Matthews stopped Miners running back Ashten Emory for no gain on fourth-and-2 from the UTEP 42.

Delaware then added Nate Reed’s 37-yard field goal with 10:24 left in the first half to extend its lead to 17-7.

But the Blue Hens quickly added to that on Gavin Moul’s 16-yard return of a fumble for another TD that made it 24-7.

Delaware has outgained the Miners 178-74 in total yards.

Freshman Scott Moore gets first TD

After being stopped on downs at the UTEP 37 on one series, Delaware covered the necessary ground on the next to extend its lead.

The Blue Hens lead the Miners 14-7 at Delaware Stadium after a 4-yard TD pass to freshman tight end Scott Moore with 14:26 left in the second quarter.

Delaware ate up big chunks of yardage on the 9-play, 69-yard march, which was all first and second downs. Nick Minicucci’s 12-yard pass to running back Joe Silver, back after missing several games with an injury, was the longest.

Blue Hens, Miners trade TDs

The first career interception by Blue Hens freshman Jamarion Kolagbodi has yielded dividends for the Blue Hens.

The cornerback picked off a UTEP pass on the game’s first play at Delaware Stadium.

Delaware took over at the 50 and nine plays later quarterback Nick Minicucci scooted up the middle on fourth-and-2 for a 17-yard touchdown with 11:11 left in the first period.

Another key play was Minicucci’s 7-yard pass to Sean Wilson on fourth-and-5 from the UTEP 45.

But the Miners quickly tied it 7-7 after Skyler Locklear floated a 49-yard TD pass to Kenny Odom, who’d gotten a step on his coverage as he sped downfield on the next series.

Close games galore

Delaware’s last four home football games have been decided in the final seconds.

There’s no reason to expect anything different in the Blue Hens’ 2025 regular-season finale.

Delaware (5-6, 3-4) and UTEP (2-9, 1-7) kick off at 1 p.m. in the Conference USA game at Delaware Stadium on Nov. 29.

A victory makes Delaware bowl eligible in its first FBS-level season, though NCAA rules regarding transitional programs mean there must be a shortage of bowl-worthy teams for the Blue Hens to get a bid.

The last four Delaware Stadium matchups have ended on Nick Minicucci’s overtime touchdown run that beat UConn 44-41, a missed field goal in a 27-24 loss to Western Kentucky, a late onside kick recovery to beat Middle Tennessee 31-28 and Nate Reed’s 51-yard field goal that nipped Louisiana Tech 25-24.

It has certainly been riveting football theatre.

Watch on ESPN+

UTEP, moving next year to the Mountain West, making this the first and likely last meeting between the schools, has had its own down-to-the-wire decisions, including in its last two games. The Miners were tied with Missouri State in the fourth period before losing 38-24 and were beaten by a late long field goal against Jacksonville State 30-27.

Such is the nature of Conference USA and life in the bowl subdivision, the Blue Hens have learned.

“This conference has been so, everything’s a close game,” Delaware coach Ryan Carty said. “There are so many overtime games. There’s so many times where those one-score games kind of go one way or another at the end of the game.’’

The Hens expect nothing different against UTEP.

“They’ve been in almost all of them,” Carty said of the Miners. “It seems like every week they’re either having a comeback victory or comeback loss, they’re in a three-point game, they’re in a seven-point game, one-possession game . . . Coach [Scotty] Walden has done such a great job of keeping these guys fighting together and fighting till the end. They play hard and they play physical and they finish games.”
