When you have to hire a Co-DC for 3rd downs, that speaks volumes about your original DC's ability and clearly demonstrates that the source of the problem was not addressed. I was being facetious when I made my comment. But if the new defensive coaching hierarchy/strategy can get us to average or ab...

Fun article...and great perspective for how several FCS teams did/do well since they were/are the only game(s) in their state (or a viable alternative to a lower FBS).

It would make for a good future (very long) article to rank all the teams within a state in order.

Lots of criticism towards Rojas and how he calls a game with his 3-3-5. Last years Hens were not good at getting off the field on third downs. So, Dimeco is named Co-Defensive Coordinator to try to fix the flaws and improve performance. So there are complaints about Rojas and now there are complain...

Whether we didn’t have the right players to succeed in our 3-3-5 defensive scheme or we didn’t adjust our scheme to maximize the best results for the players we recruited, the end result was the same. Our defense did not perform at the level needed to compete for a CUSA championship. It was probabl...

"I think we have continued to recruit better athletes to fit our profile and our positions. " "We've been able to find some guys that fit our profile a little bit better, and how we're moving the defense forward" Jimmies & Joes, not scheme. So, Rojas admits he hasn't been a ...

Rich... Great questions. One thing I noticed when Rojas was defending the 3-3-5 was he would say how well other teams do in that formation but he didn't explain why we don't. We were at the bottom of CUSA defensives. We were at the bottom of all FBS defenses. I really think our defensive issues are...

As always, all GoHens posters and their friends are welcome...just bring a sense of humor and an interest in meeting good people. :D God stuff, Cluck. I'll wander over one these times.

Thanks, again, Big R! Good stuff. The QB Summit was a fantastic idea...kudos to the staff...and the fact that Nick said that is was a great learning experience is awesome. Love that Nick likes our OL. Protection and big holes are huge responsibilities...looking forward to seeing the OL in action.

NEW YORK – University of Delaware football OL Steven Demboski has been named to the 2026 Rimington Trophy Preseason Watch List, the Boomer Esiason Foundation announced Thursday.

A nice quote from an article in Athlon Sports from one of the opposing CUSA assistant coaches: "What stands out to me is that they return pretty much their whole team. They were fortunate enough to keep three or four of their starting O-lineman, a couple of their receivers, their quarterback, b...

Well, being on that list and returning those pieces might not be a good thing.

Every pre-season publication I’ve read rips our D…and rightfully so. There's a reason for that.

Thanks, Big R!!

Having so many players returning should help, and it is good that RC shared his similar feeling and its impact on their practices.
