Spread: Delaware -2.5 | Will the Blue Hens cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 6 projections here
First-year FBS member Delaware (3-1) is off to a fast start and aims to make a statement in C-USA play when it hosts Western Kentucky (4-1) in Week 6. The Blue Hens’ only loss came at Colorado, while the Hilltoppers have strung together back-to-back wins since dropping a road game at Toledo in Week 3. Both programs lean on high-volume passing attacks, dialing up designed throws on nearly 60% of snaps, according to TruMedia. That sets the stage for a quarterback duel: WKU’s Maverick McIvor has thrown 11 touchdowns, while Delaware veteran Nick Minicucci has produced 12 scores — eight through the air and four on the ground.
Player to watch: McIvor is consistently quick and decisive, delivering the ball with good velocity; he throws over the middle of the field with both pace and touch. Inconsistency issues on deep throws show up on tape, and he can appear to have blinders vs. post safeties, but McIvor stands up well to pressure, is unafraid of the blitz, and consistently finds the hot receiver without needing to reset his feet. He is not a top-tier athlete, but can win with his legs when necessary. I scribbled down
