The Express allowed Hackenberg to finish the first half but turned over the reins to Mettenberger in the third quarter.

All the former LSU star did was toss two touchdowns on 9-of-12 passing without an interception.

Mettenberger’s third pass attempt of the season was a 30-yard touchdown to Devin Lucien. He threw a 40-yard scoring strike in the fourth quarter to Gerrard Sheppard, and added a 2-point conversion toss to Anthony Manzo-Lewis, to cut the deficit to 21-17.
