Delaware gets first possession and goes three and out. App starts with field position around its own 40 and has driven to the Delaware 20 yard line.
Screen pass from Edwards to Richardson to cap a 6 play drive. Great block by Kerry Brown to help pave the way. Richardson breaks a tackle and finds the pylon for the game's first score...apparently. The play will be under review. If held up it will be Richardson's 33rd reception of the year and his fourth receiving score. Play is upheld... touchdown APPS!
PAT By Rauch is good! ASU 7, Delaware 0 with 10:47 left in the qtr.
8:18 PM
Delaware is attempting to answer on the ensuing drive. The Blue Hens have marched to the ASU 27 with less than 8:30 left in the period. A pass play from Joe Flacco to Aaron Love moves UD to the ASU 9 for a first and goal situation.
Cuff apparently scored from 4 yards out, but the play was reversed when replay showed Cuff's elbow touched on the half yard line. A run by Cuff on third down was stuffed, and a fourth down gamble failed as Flacco threw an incompletion intended for tight end Josh Baker, turning the football over on downs back to the Apps.

The Mountaineers take the football over at their own 1 yard line with just over 5 minutes left in the quarter. Three runs by Richardson and a run by Edwards, with the help of a personal foul facemask penalty moved App past midfield.
Devin Moore races 46 yards down the middle of the field for a touchdown! A 5 play, 99 yard drive consumes 1:26 off the clock. a championship game-record drive. PAT good by Rauch, 14-0 Mountaineers!
ASU has shown it can run at will on Delaware in the early going, but the question is can they stop the Delaware offense?
Flacco has just cleared the 4,000 yard passing plateau on this drive as the Blue Hens have crossed midfield on its next offensive series. A long run by Cuff moves UD near the ASU 20. Another third down situation at the ASU 15, but a screen pass to Michaud is sniffed by the App secondary, losing 3 yards. A 35-yard field goal attempt misses wide. Mountaineers hold, 14-0 ASU football at its own 20. A 9-yard run by Moore closes out the quarter. App leads by two scores!
