A tight first half saw Delaware tied 7-7 going into the half. However, multiple mistakes and and an inability to adapt to the rain lead to a second half outburst for Ball State en route to a 35-14 win.

Pat Devlin completed only 36% of his passes and threw a pick-6 in the first half. He struggled with the wet ball and could not connect regularly with his receivers in the second half leading to several three-and-outs offensively.

Ball State, on the other hand, used the sloppy weather to their advantage and ran the ball effectively with Mikhail Lewis scoring three times and the team combining for 140 yards rushing.

Delaware drops to 1-1 in the inaugural FBS season and faces a tough Maryland team at home next Saturday. Considering the struggles the team has had offensively and a quality program like Maryland coming to Newark it is hard not to imagine the Hens falling to 1-2 after next week.
