Running back Wade Inge would run the ball into the endzone from the eight-yard line for the score. Inge had the hot hand on the drive as he had two carries for 17 yards.
After the first touchdown, the Hornets would cool off a bit as their next three drives resulted in a missed field goal attempt and two punts.

One of the highlights plays on the drive was when Delaware State’s quarterback Jared Lewis found senior wide receiver Devin Curry for 16 yards to push the team to their own 42-yard line. Lincoln also helped on the drive as they were called for a personal foul penalty which would push the Hornets to the Lions’ 43 yard line.
The Hornets score another touchdown in the third quarter to push their lead to 17.
For most of the third quarter, DSU’s defense carried the team as they forced two fumbles out of Lincoln and a punt in their three drives.
Lincoln’s second fumble would set the Hornets’ offense up at the Lions 39 yard line with 6:14 remaining in the third quarter, the team did not waste any time with the short field as they scored in seven plays to take a 17-0 lead. The touchdown play came on a third and one at Lincoln’s one-yard line, where running back Thomas Bertrand-Hudon ran it in for the score.
