Sam Houston held off a furious fourth-quarter comeback attempt by Delaware to secure a thrilling 26-23 victory at Shell Energy Stadium. The Bearkats rode Landan Brown's impressive performance, including a 62-yard touchdown run, to build a commanding 26-10 lead early in the final quarter. The Fightin' Blue Hens stormed back with two late touchdowns, including Nick Minicucci's 26-yard strike to Max Patterson, but couldn't complete the rally as Sam Houston's defense made one final stand.
