Nick Minicucci threw for 414 yards and four touchdowns, and Delaware beat Western Kentucky 35-21 on Tuesday night in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to end a seven-game road losing streak.

Minicucci completed his first 17 passes, a Delaware record for consecutive completions to start a game, and finished 32 of 38. He was 21 of 22 for 301 yards and three scores by halftime, when the Blue Hens led 28-21.

Sean Wilson caught nine passes for 183 yards, and his touchdowns went for 21 and 40 yards. The second one, late in the third quarter, made it 35-21, and neither team scored again. Kaderris Roberts and Jo Silver also caught touchdown passes.

The first incompletion of the night by either team came on the 14th pass attempt, when Delaware cornerback Kevin Moore intercepted Brock Glenn late in the first quarter. AJ Graham picked off Glenn again on the first play of the fourth quarter, deep in Delaware territory, for his first career interception.

Glenn went 25 of 37 for 224 yards with a touchdown and the two interceptions, and he ran 17 times for 129 yards. Ajay Allen had 73 rushing yards and a touchdown for Western Kentucky.

Minicucci tied Delaware's single-game record with five touchdown passes last week, and with 6,459 career yards he moved into fourth in program history. Delaware is 4-4 and 2-2 in Conference USA. Western Kentucky is 3-5 and 2-2.

Both teams are off until Nov. 7, when Delaware plays at Kennesaw State and Western Kentucky visits Middle Tennessee.
