West Florida Skirts Delta State 51-38 After Back And Forth Gulf South Slog

West Florida Skirts Delta State 51-38 After Back And Forth Gulf South Slog

No. 11 Delta State hosted No. 4 West Florida in a GSC ranked match that could decide who earns an automatic bid into the playoffs. Read the game recap.

Nov 1, 2025 by Andy Schamma
null

It was a can't-miss Gulf South Conference showdown between two of the best teams in Division 2 football. 

The 7-1 No. 11 Delta State Statemen hosted the undefeated No. 4 West Florida Argonauts in an afternoon match-up at McCool Stadium in Cleveland, Mississippi on Saturday Nov. 1. 

The two teams were a fair match in scoring stats: scoring around 37 points per game and holding opponents to an exact same 15.13 points per game up to that point.

The home team's lone loss this season came from UNC Pembroke, a team that had been receiving votes in the FloFootball Division 2 Rankings almost all season.

Both defeated West Alabama in late October, but the Argonauts had a bit of an easier time. They won by a touchdown rather than the three point gap that the Statesmen escaped with.

It all kicked off live on FloCollege at 4:00 p.m. ET—read the game recap, watch scoring highlights, and read everything else you need to know.

Marcus Stokes Splits Defense, Scores 61-Yard TD To Seal It - 1:43 4Q

West Florida 51 - 38 Delta State

It was all on Delta State to make a huge stop and keep as much time on the clock as possible if they wanted to have a chance.

It all came crashing down as on 2nd and 11, Marcus Stokes split the defense and rushed right up the middle untouched for a 61-yard rush to the promise land.

After an offsides penalty, they decided to go for two which failed and left the gap at just 13.

It has certainly been a day of quarterback keeps—Stokes has 9 attempts for 98 yards and 2 touchdowns. Ames has 12 attempts for 55 yards.

Argos Get Ball With 5 Minutes Left - 2:30 4Q

West Florida 45 - 38 Delta State

You can feel the tension rising across both teams as the margin for error gets smaller and smaller. Delta State was able to piece together yet another long-bomb for a touchdown and to bring things back within reach.

Delta State will have to make a big stop if they want the ball back without a bigger gap in front of them.

On 3rd and 3 at the UWF 36, by far the most important of the game so far—Delta State called a timeout.

Stokes took a keeper to the right sideline and dove for the line but was down with space remaining.

On 4th and inches—a timeout for the Argos right at 2:01.

UWF goes for a rush up the middle and gets the conversion, barely—and that's the two minute timeout.

Ames To Rearden Over The Top For 6 - 7:23 4Q

West Florida 45 - 38 Delta State

On 3rd and 22 (after a delay of game penalty), Ames snapped the ball from the shotgun with Palmer to his right and both receivers to his left shooting straight for the endzone. 

He launched a beauty down the middle of the field and Rearden came down with it, an 86-yard pass, in a jumping catch to sprint it into the endzone and bring this game back within one touchdown. It was a carbon copy of the play they tried just two attempts earlier but was dropped after hitting Rearden in the hands perfectly.

He earned redemption with that one.

Field Goal Play Broken Up, Lead Stays At 14 - 7:23 4Q

West Florida 45 - 31 Delta State

To nobody's surprise, the Argos turned to Jay Sharp on the ground to keep the ball moving as the Argos try to ice the game and run the clock out. Over the 9 play, 47-yard drive Sharp got the ball seven times and earned 38 of those yards.

On a bad snap, the field goal snap was dropped and the field goal kicker was forced to pick up before throwing it towards the endzone for an incomplete pass and turnover on downs on the 5-yard line.

Flags Fly As Things Get Loose For DSU - 12:04 4Q

West Florida 45 - 31 Delta State

Flags have started flying with Delta State getting holding call and unsportsmanlike conduct after a relatively clean game up to this point. You can tell they're struggling to maintain composure as West Florida drives the nail into the coffin.

Just Three Plays Later, Tony Newsome Gets Second INT - 13:39 4Q

West Florida 45 - 31 Delta State

On a longshot deep down the right sideline by Ames, Tony Newsome came down with the ball without a Delta State receiver within 10 feet of him to give the ball back to the visitors' offense.

Delta State Starts From Scratch - 14:00 4Q

West Florida 45 - 31 Delta State

Well, this feels like deja vu. From an 18-point lead to tied up to a 14-point lead. This game has had it all.

Delta State has a bit of time but they're going to need to retake control and momentum of this game if they want to maintain their one-loss record.

West Florida INT Into Touchdown On Next Play - 14:10 4Q

West Florida 45 - 31 Delta State

The door is open for the home squad after a muffed PAT attempt by UWF.

Ames will have to channel his early 3rd quarter performance to make it happen, though.

On 3rd and 11, Ames was in the shotgun with one in the backfield, he dumped it out to the right flat but it was intercepted by Tony Newsome and returned it back all the way to the 5 yard line.

TJ Lane rushed it up the middle to secure the touchdown conversion.

The Argos went for the two-point try and easily passed it over the head of the Delta State defense.

Touchdown: Stokes Keeper To Put West Florida Up - End of 3Q

West Florida 37 - 31 Delta State

On 3rd and 5 at the DSU9, Marcus Stokes took a keeper up the middle for a touchdown that was initially called no good but overturned after a coaches challenge.

Their drive ate up half of the 3rd quarter and marched 80 yards down the field over 11 plays.

A bad snap on the PAT attempt led to the holder trying to run it in but was forced out of bounds before he could pass the plane. No PAT to make it just six points between the two.

West Florida Goes On Extended Drive - 2:26 3Q

West Florida 31 - 31 Delta State

Marcus Stokes and the Argonauts have some work to do after the last drive. Delta State has fully seized momentum in this game as the sideline energy has made it's way across the field.

They opened the drive with a 31-yard pass deep to the left to Javon Swinton. Jay Sharp was a solid solution on the ground for the Argos—tallying gains of 3, 6, and 5 as the drive continued rolling down the field.

The Argos have pieced together the longest drive of the game, exceeding six minutes and eight plays.

Touchdown: Delta State Recovers Fumble For Scoop And Score - 8:10 3Q

West Florida 31 - 31 Delta State

Comeback: complete!

West Florida's Ty'Ray Davis fumbled the handoff in the shotgun to Jabari Murphy. Austin Collins scooped it up and forced it into the endzone to tie it up for the home team.

Statesmen Punt, Momentum Stalls - 8:17 3Q

West Florida 31 - 24 Delta State

In a very quick three and out, Delta State found themselves back in punting formation after another overthrown pass by Ames on third. Their momentum from the last drive was seemingly left in the past as they try to finish the comeback.

West Florida Fumble Gives Delta State Chance To Tie - 9:05 3Q

West Florida 31 - 24 Delta State

Marcus Stokes fumbled the ball on what initially looked like another double-digit run for a first down—Delta State collected the ball to give the offense a chance at bringing the score back even.

Delta State Gets Back To Work With Longest Drive, Punts - 10:29 3Q

West Florida 31 - 24 Delta State

Freshman quarterback Garrett Ames and the Delta State offense get back to work, deferring their coin-toss win to get the ball in this very opportune time. Their mission: take their first lead of the game.

Marlon Palmer starts the drive with two short rushes up the middle before Ames took things into his own hands to rush it on 3rd and 4 for the first down.

Nick Clark then provided his own mid-length rushes before another exclamation point by Ames for 10-yards reset the downs once again.

UWF pulled it together and made three solid stops on the rush to finally bring out the Delta State punt unit after nine plays—their longest drive of the game.

Halftime Stats: Delta State Makes Strong Comeback Into The Half

West Florida 31 - 24 Delta State

The Statesmen have battled their way back into this game after the West Florida Argonauts made mincemeat of the defense in the first quarter.

Some special teams chaos helped swing the momentum closer to the home team's favor and with two touchdown drives that took less than a minute and a half each, things are looking much rosier than they were at the end of the first quarter.

Stokes Claws Back Into Field Goal Range - End of 2Q

West Florida 31 - 24 Delta State

Marcus Stokes found Javon Swinton 33 yards down field for a completion while surrounded by the Delta State secondary to bring the Argos within scoring range as the last 30 seconds of the half tick down.

Brogan Woeber nailed the 30-yard field goal kick to make it a one-touchdown lead for the visitors going into the locker rooms.

Touchdown: Ames To Rearden Again For 7 - 1:01 2Q

West Florida 28 - 24 Delta State

Delta State's has taken control of the game finally bringing things back within reach—a hill they've had to climb since the first quarter.

Ames completed the pass deep up the left side to Curtis Rearden who then stood over the defender after crossing the plane. He was assessed a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the kickoff.

West Florida Settles Pace - 2:44 2Q

West Florida 28 - 17 Delta State

It's been an exciting first half of chaotic Gulf South Conference football as these two teams have battled it out and tried to take control. West Florida has largely found most of the success but a few good breaks for Delta State has kept them in the game in front of their home crowd.

They punt it away after a three and out.

On the return, Delta State was called for a block in the back to put the ball on the 29.

Touchdown: Delta State Strikes Back - 5:22 2Q

West Florida 28 - 17 Delta State

The special teams chaos has fully taken control of the game now as Delta State's Lemay takes the kick return back 97-yards to nullify the last Argonauts touchdown.

Delta State Fumbles On Punt, Touchdown UWF - 8:20 2Q

West Florida 28 - 10 Delta State

After a quick three and out, the Delta State punt unit came out but that's where everything went wrong. A bad snap was dropped by Nixon before being picked up by West Florida who ran it in for a touchdown.

UWF Punts, Almost Fumbles Into DSU Hands Again - 8:20 2Q

West Florida 21 - 10 Delta State

Delta State's defense continues to settle in as UWF was on 3rd and 14 without even reaching midfield.

As Marcus Stokes stepped back to throw it, the pocket closed down quickly and the ball popped out before bouncing off of three different players before an Argonaut brought it down to the ground to take it to 4th down for a punt.

Touchdown: Garrett Ames Connects To Rearden - 8:20 2Q

West Florida 21 - 10 Delta State

After overthrowing Curtis Rearden all afternoon, Garrett Ames finally connected for a 33-yard touchdown pass to bring the gap down to 12 with half of the second quarter remaining.

Dean Roberts PAT is good.

UWF Stopped, Punts From Own Endzone - 9:11 2Q

West Florida 21 - 3 Delta State

Ames gets back to work from the DSU48 after failing to convert on the last drive as they still search for their first touchdown.

Delta State Pieces A Few Plays Together, Turnover On Downs - 13:49 2Q

West Florida 21 - 3 Delta State

There's still tons of time, and Delta State finally has started to put things together after falling behind by three scores.

Garrett Ames completed two passes in a row—the first for 16 yards to Neno Lemay up the middle and the second deep to the left for Curtis Rearden 49 yards up field to make it all the way to the UWF5.

Unfortunately, after two more incompletions, they turned it over on downs on 4th and goal.

Touchdown: 55-Yard Catch Sets Up Easy UWF Score - 13:49 2Q

West Florida 21 - 3 Delta State

Marcus Stokes threw it deep up the middle to Tyree Holloway who wasn't brought down until the DSU18. Ty'Ray Davis rushed up the middle for 18 yards to complete the drive and add another touchdown on the board.

Delta State's afternoon continues to get worse.

Garrett Ames Lost With Another Three And Out - 14:45 2Q

West Florida 14 - 3 Delta State

You start to wonder why Delta State is still relying on Garrett Ames to make things happen offensively. So far on the day, he's 0-3 in the air and they have only gained 11 yards on the ground despite 9 attempts. There's still a lot of time, though. Here's hoping he can turn things around.

Delta State Forces UWF Three And Out - End of 1st Quarter

West Florida 14 - 3 Delta State

Delta State makes their first big defensive stop, holding UWF to a three and out after a few Marcus Stokes incomplete passes left them on 3rd and 11.

It's been a one-sided affair with West Florida clearly showing up early. Delta State has started to settle but they'll need to find a way to complete plays in the air to close the gap with how strong UWF's defensive line is.

Statesmen Settle For Field Goal After Fumble - 2:42 1Q

West Florida 14 - 3 Delta State

Delta State gets on the board for the first time today after picking up the fumble deep in UWF's territory. West Florida's defense was able to completely stop any further progress, though, which forced the field goal unit to add three.

West Florida 14 - 0 Delta State

Delta State Struggles Continue, Three And Out Again - 3:46 1Q

West Florida 14 - 0 Delta State

It was another quick three and out as UWF's rush defense continues to stifle any chances for the home team to get rolling down the field. Delta State punted it away.

Touchdown: West Florida Breaks DSU Secondary - 5:33 1Q

West Florida 14 - 0 Delta State

The Statesmen have their work cut out for them as Marcus Stokes and the Argonauts offense continue their stampede down the field. Despite being held to 3rd down three times in the drive, the Argos were able to overcome the challenge and tally another touchdown.

Marcus Stokes completed a pass to the right for Tyshon Mansell who brought the ball in deftly on the back line with heavy coverage.

West Florida Gets Going Again - 8:00 1Q

West Florida 7 - 0 Delta State

West Florida got the ball back with a great starting spot in midfield, the 47 yard line. On 3rd and 3, they turned to the quarterback's feet once again—this time Ty'Ray Davis running it to the left for 17 yards and a first down.

On 3rd and 7 just a few plays later, Marcus Stokes was back in the shotgun and completed a pass to Corey Scott who made a nice cut up the middle to open area to gain 17 and move into scoring position.

Redshirt Freshman Garrett Ames Gets Start, Punt - 10:15 1Q

West Florida 7 - 0 Delta State

Garrett Ames gets the start for the Statesmen, taking over for their first drive of the day after the three-minute drive by the visitors. The redshirt freshman has played in each of the games this season and is from Mortimer Jordan High School.

It was a three and out after two short rushes to the right by David Alston and an incomplete pass by Ames went over the head of Carter Coullard.

Delta State punted it away.

Touchdown: Argos Steamroll Delta State In Opening Drive - 11:35 1Q

West Florida 7 - 0 Delta State

Two 40-yard+ gains set the Argonauts up with easy field position to secure their first touchdown of the day. After moving the ball downfield, TJ Lane would complete the drive and rush it up the middle for 4 yards and his 7th rushing TD of the year.

UWF came out swinging, we'll see how the home team can respond.

Argos Open With Explosive Drive - 15:00 1Q

West Florida 0 - 0 Delta State

West Florida started their first drive of the day with excellent position after the opening return. Jay Sharp brought the ball upfield 44 yards to open things up.

Marcus Stokes got straight to work in the shotgun with a single back on his right. They went to the ground first with TJ Lane taking the rush up the middle for short gains.

After a short pass to the left to Tyree Holloway, Stokes found himself faced with the first 4th down of the day.

The Argos didn't shy away though, Stokes kept it and broke out of the pocket with speed to gain 40 yards and bust into the Statesmen redzone for the first time.

Delta State Wins Coin Toss, Defers

And we're off in Cleveland, MS! The captains have met at centerfield and made the call on the coin. We're in store for a good one today, folks.

Kickoff is Next—Two Players To Watch Today: West Florida vs Delta State

Nick Clark, Delta State

Redshirt freshman Nick Clark has been unstoppable for the Statesmen in 2025. His 11 rushing and one receiving touchdowns make him the single highest point scorer in the GSC.

With double-digit carries in six of the eight games this season so far, including 22 in the last against West Alabama, expect Clark to get the ball a lot today. It will be interesting to see how the rush defense of West Florida stands up against the young talent.

Ja'Kobe Clinton, West Florida

Redshirt senior Ja'Kobe Clinton continues to be a rockstar for the Argonauts on the defensive side of the ball. Earning GSC Defensive Player of the Week in early October, the linebacker is among the best in D2 football. His 15.5 tackles for loss and 6 sacks make him a must-watch player today if Delta State opens up a lead.

Who's Who: Coaching Today's Showdown

Todd Cooley, Delta State

Cooley has been at the helm for 12 seasons and holds an impressive .635 winrate during his tenure. He was quick to take action after joining the program, leading the team to a 9-2 record and a spot in the playoffs after winning the Gulf South Conference title in just his second season.

Kaleb Nobles, West Florida

Nobles earned the head job in December of 2022 after working at Clemson as an offensive development coach. His youth has not been a weakness, helping the Argonauts to a 15-7 record heading into the 2025 season, which is now improved to 23-7 regardless of today's outcome.
