The Cardinal (10-2), who knocked off an unbeaten team on the road for the second consecutive week, advanced to the quarterfinals for the third time (also 2006 and '07). Next they'll travel to 12-0 St. Thomas (Minn.).
Del Val beat SJF in the second round in Doylestown in 2005, 26-20, on two late scores.
SJF used backup quarterback Ahmed Hassanien (threw for 93 yards, ran for 28) after Ryan Kramer was injured at Johns Hopkins the week before. Cody Miller carried 24 times for 145.
The Cardinal, which led 17-14 at the half, had four interceptions after getting five the previous game.
Del Val freshman Aaron Wilmer, who had thrown six picks before this, was 29-for-41 for 241 yards. He also ran for 74.
FRAUD FIVE
-- UCLA: Nice effort - a 50-0 loss to Southern Cal. Now go to Oregon. With a loss, at 6-7, will have to apply for NCAA waiver to go bowling, even as the Pac-12's South Division champion.
-- Virginia: It's OK to lose to Virginia Tech, even at home. But maybe not by 38-zip, especially when you're playing for a spot in ACC title game.
-- Arkansas: I know it was at LSU. But when you're No. 3, you shouldn't be getting outscored 41-3 in the last 35 minutes.
-- Penn State: I realize it has been a really rough few weeks, but 45-7 with everything at stake is still 45-7.
-- Utah: Shouldn't be losing at home to Colorado, although I guess at some point someone had to after 23 straight Buffalo road losses. But especially not with a chance to go to Pac-12 final, which a victory would have achieved.
Dishonorable mentions go to Miami, which closed with a home loss to Boston College; Wake Forest, which lost by 34 at home to Vanderbilt; and Rutgers, which lost by 18 at Connecticut when it could have clinched a piece of what would have been its first Big East title.
