The Wingate Bulldogs upset No. 12 Delta State on Saturday afternoon in their home opener at Irwin Belk Stadium by a final score of 21-7. Delta State struck first with 65 yard touchdown run by Cole Kirk in the first quarter. However, that would be the only points of the day for the Statesmen. Wingate countered just a few minutes later and began a 21-0 run that would extend through the remainder of the game. Wingate's stingy defense held Delta State to just 253 total yards and 11 first downs. Full recap to follow.
