Sports Network Predicts Delaware Win over NAVY:

No. 5 Delaware Blue Hens at Navy Midshipmen, 3:30 p.m. on TV (CBS College Sports Network)

Series record: Navy leads, 8-7

Last meeting: at Navy 35, Delaware 18 (Nov. 14, 2009)

What to know: Last season, Delaware was 17 minutes away from being crowned FCS champion, until Eastern Washington stormed back from a 19-0 deficit - aided by a controversial spot on fourth down - to steal the victory, 20-19

The last time Navy and Delaware met, the Midshipmen pulled off a similar trick to Eastern Washington, scoring 21 fourth-quarter points to blow a close game wide open.

In typical Navy fashion, this game will feature a heavy dose of the running game, as the Midshipmen will introduce a new quarterback at the helm of the triple option, while Delaware will be looking for big things from Andrew Pierce, who rushed for 1,655 yards and 14 touchdowns as a freshman.

Prediction: Delaware 32, Navy 31 (OT)

I wouldn't be surprised. I said months ago that I think UDel has a great chance to upset Navy. There not a great passing team so you should be able to load the box to stop their triple option.

Deleware beating Navy would not surprise me...

Perfect. UD over Navy and later.......ODU over UD.

If I had to pick one FCS/FBS upset this week, this would be the one.

with a 7-8 record against Navy it doesnt seem like this would be much of an "upset" at all.

Delaware beating Navy would not surprise me...

While Navy loyalty constrains me to predict a Middie win, there is much evidence for this. Anyone predicting a Navy blowout is full of it, and a Delaware win is NOT out of the question.
