The Delta Devils (0-5, 0-2) got a second field goal to start the third quarter, but Connley hit Tre’jon Spiller for a 28-yard touchdown then ran 18 yards for a fourth-quarter score to make it 31-6.
Connley was 11-of-18 passing for 259 yards and carried 11 times for 32. Wisham added 79 yards rushing on five carries.
Ty’Jarian Williams completed 18 of 31 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown to lead Mississippi Valley State, but the Delta Devils managed just 48 yards rushing.
