Eastern Washington Beats Delaware to Win FCS Title Game

Filed under: FCS

FRISCO, Texas (AP) -- Bo Levi Mitchell led three straight late touchdown drives, the finale coming with 2:47 left, leading Eastern Washington a 20-19 win over Delaware and its first Football Championship Subdivision title.

The Eagles (13-2) trailed 19-0 and had gained only 92 yards midway through the third quarter. But Mitchell took them on drives of 80, 89 and 69 yards. He converted a fourth-and-8 on the second of those series and needed two video replays to uphold a fourth-and-1 conversion a few plays before the winning touchdown.

Delaware (12-3), with Vice President and alum Joe Biden watching five rows behind the team's bench, had one last try but turned the ball over on downs with 47 seconds left.
