DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Michael Jones had 153 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown catch on Saturday, leading Bethune-Cookman to a 27-7 victory over Delaware State.

Jeremiah McGeough punted the ball into his own player on Delaware State's opening possession and Leroy Holt recovered it in the end zone to give Bethune-Cookman (4-1, 1-0 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) a 7-0 lead less than 2 minutes in.

Quentin Williams extended the lead with touchdown passes to Jhomo Gordon and Jones before Delaware State (1-5, 1-1) cut the deficit to 21-7 on Terrick Colston's 11-yard interception return with 5 seconds left in the first quarter.

Williams was 20 of 26 for 198 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

Delaware State was 0 for 14 on third-down conversions and managed just 168 yards of offense.
