Had to post a little early, as I'm about to head up for the tailgate.

Weather should be clear by game time tonight. Light rain early this afternoon. Temp should be in the 50s, light wind. Good football weather.

Have fun. Say hi to everyone

[UNHWildCats]

Yahoo says 20-3 Delaware early 2nd Qtr

[UNHWildCats]

23-3

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Wow. 37-6 Delaware over Umass still in the third.

[UNHWildCats]

UD 24 yd FG...up 40-13 with 8:37 left in the 4th.

[93henfan]

Man, what a therapeutic game to attend! It's been awhile since we blew out a Top 15 team.

Looks like the Hens are back!

[ChickenMan]

A very good game.. but I'm still not convinced... but at least they finally seem to be headed in the right direction.

[Ivytalk]

The Minutemen are the Hens' Beyotches!

A very good game.. but I'm still not convinced... but at least they finally seem to be headed in the right direction.

Still have to beat Towson, JMU, and Hofstra and find a way to steal one from from Navy or Nova. A tall task for sure, but anything is possible with Devlin chucking the rock. The guy is a stud.

[dbackjon]

Or does UMass just suck?

[TwinTownBisonFan]

signature win for the Hens this season?

UD fans what do you think?

The signature win was Richmond. Too bad our kicker lost it.

But yes, beating a top 15 for the first time since the 07 playoffs is the signature win so far. A win over Navy or Nova would trump it of course.

You been drinking a little today Jon? You're awfully pissy about the CAA.

It is a good question..?
Does Umass just suck (or what)

Yes, you will.

Good to see you here, post often.

Delaware played an impressive game.

.....................................UM......UD
NET YARDS RUSHING.............32......127





This is such an impressive statistic. Is Delaware's defense this stout on the run and like a sieve when it comes to pass? Or is Umass a Passing team?

Here were the UD defensive and UMass offensive stats (before the game) from the game notes:

DELAWARE / NCAA Rank / CAA Rank
Rushing Defense ............................99.8 / 27th / 5th
Passing Efficiency Defense ........114.77/ 39th / 3rd
Passing Defense ............................222.0 / 87th / 9th
Total Defense..................................321.8 / 46th / 6th
Scoring Defense .............................. 16.0 / 16th / 5th
Sacks By ...........................................1.4 / 79th / 10th

MASSACHUSETTS / NCAA Rank / CAA Rank
Rushing Offense ............................175.5 / 15th / 3rd
Passing Offense ..........................243.5 / 22nd / 2nd
Passing Efficiency ......................123.25 / 63rd / 9th
Total Offense..................................419.0 / 13th / 1st

So the perennial CAA power run defense of Delaware overpowered the perennial CAA power rushing offense? What more could you ask for?

THANKS!

That clears it up.


UMass sucks.

[BlueHen86]

Or does UMass just suck?

If this were the smack board I'd respond by pointing out that UMass sucks regardless of their win-loss record.

Petition the mods to move the thread, then go ahead and post that. But not before...
