So, would the Fighting Camels move the ball better on their next possession?

UD’s offense would take advantage of the turnover, as the team would drive 50 yards in four plays to end with quarterback Ryan O’Connor finding wide receiver Joshua Youngblood for the 17-yard score to push the Blue Hens edge to 14-0 with 8:30 left in the first quarter.
It wouldn’t get better for Campbell on their next drive, as the team would march 77 yards in 11 plays to end with their quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams’ pass getting intercepted on a first and five at University of Delaware’s five-yard line by Khalil Dawsey, who took it all the way back for a 100-yard pick-six to extend the Hens lead to 21-0 to end the first quarter.
