DOVER, Del. (AP) \u2014 Kaiden Bennett scored on a 27-yard run with 34 seconds remaining to give Delaware State and former NFL player DeSean Jackson his first coaching victory, a 37-32 win over Albany on Saturday night in a weather-delayed game that took 7 1\/2 hours to complete.<\/p>\n
Jackson spent 15 years as a receiver in the NFL before retiring in 2023 and took the Hornets job after serving as offensive coordinator at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, California, for one season.<\/p>\n

The Hornets (1-1) trailed with 4:38 remaining after Jack Shields passed to Steve Mahar Jr. for Albany’s go-ahead touchdown. The game was then delayed for a half-hour, and then with two minutes on the clock, for three more hours before Bennett scored the game-winner.<\/p>\n
Albany (0-2) interim head coach Jared Ambrose was denied his first collegiate win.<\/p>\n
