No it won't.

It's going to be a run of the mill win against a low level FBS team.

Could not disagree more. If they still run that version of a Wing-T, we will have more than our hands full with only a few days to prep.

Pretty disappointed no one asked him about Sammis' decision making in the second half - I guess the entire fan base will just continue scratching our collective head

Can’t listen now. Anything about Mel Brown not getting touches in there? How about the use of prevent defense and Cuse destroying it.

Silliness and overconfidence. This is a trap game. First FBS home game, they have a legit fanbase and good attendance. The Hens will be pumped up. We better bring the A+ game.

They are a sound football team. We struggled against unsound teams like Temple and UAB last season.

Unrelated to saturday's game, but -

I would not be surprised if Delaware performed well in these early years, enough to get an invite to either the American or Sun Belt, pretty quickly. While still a G5 team as their ceiling, their overall university brand is respected (well regarded northeast/mid-atlantic flagship school with large and wealthy alumni base in the region) and they have a good football history (princeton/michigan helmets?! so cool).

An invite to either of those, is a step forward for them, but also it is an asset to the conference that lands them.
honestly though, they're a patriot league school totally, if not for their football ambitions.

Delaware is not a Patriot League School. They came from the CAA/A10. Their Athletics budget is impressive already by G6 standards.

Honestly, I would be more worried about this game if UConn won last week. It would have been a trap game if they beat Cuse. They would have been coming off celebrating a big win on the road and wouldn’t Take Delaware serious. After a crushing loss, it will be easy for the coaches to get the players attention this week.

I would be too, but this isn’t a UMass or UAB type team. Dismissing them as a low G6 team isn’t wise because we almost lost to a couple of those last year. Good lord the Temple game was miraculous and they didn’t even start their best QB.

iti's not a point worth arguing so i will just say this and then let it lie:

my point was their profile aligns to what the patriot league is becoming, which IS the CAA, or at least the top notch of the legacy CAA, brand-wise. Elite FCS northeastern & mid-atlantic schools. Had it not been for their FBS transition, I certainly believe they would have made the jump with villanova, Richmond, W&M and so on. Those are the schools they have history witih and who they want to be associated with... not campbell and Hampton.

I agree with you about last year's team. It's a new year and a new team. What fan's say and even coach speak prior to the game is useless. This is one of the tougher games on our schedule based on the Delaware's first G5 home game and still an early season game before injuries deplete them.
