Re: The Test -Villanova
Now some are criticizing plays they worked for 40 yards???? Some of our “fans” posts are beyond comical.
Re: The Test -Villanova
Gosh…failing a nova test means it is a bad year.
What a weird definition of success.
We have a chance to get into the playoffs…and a decent chance to win a game against Laffy. 9-3…with another game, wouldn’t be successful?
I don’t care if we beat one or two bad playoff teams…because that would mean we were in the playoffs.
Folks…the Yankee/A-10 was not a great conference. We have several really (really, really) bad playoff losses during that time (Ark.St., got Mossed and others…including first round exits), yet people feel were were successful and among the great legacy teams. And we had some great runs! Fun times and sad times…but Saturdays were a blast.
But now Carty…not coming in and blowing the doors off opponents, and “only” getting to the playoffs twice and getting a first round playoff win (and, hopefully a second) in his first two years is a bad thing?
Sheesh…some of you folks are nuts.
Do we want/need to improve? Yup. But, let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.
IF selected, we play again. Let me repeat…OUR HENS PLAY IN THE POST-SEASON this Saturday. 100 or so other FCS teams can’t say that.
I’ll be rooting for the team and the individuals I know. They are good kids. World beaters? Nope. But they are out there representing the University of Delaware, and I will be cheering for them to succeed for as long as possible.
Go Hens!

Re: The Test -Villanova
The play was for 39 yards. I'm not convinced it made sense to utilize Marker concerning his injury history. I trust maybe we were setting up a double pass that could have been utilized later in the game?? Collins, who was a hs qb would have worked if that was the objective.
Would you like to give your 2 cents on the 4th down flops?

Well, there’s that.
79…bring your A game next time.
