Delaware beats JMU

[Crazysilver03]

Behind a redshirt freshmen, #5 UD defeated #3 James Madison, with three seconds left in the game.

Even though I have been gone for a year now, I didn't realize Delaware was poised to be so good this year.

IIRC, #17 Delaware crushed West Chester to open the season, before crushing #9 South Dakota State 26-3 in the second week. Ranking in the low teens, Delaware crushed Duquense to lead to a key #9 Delaware vs. #7 Richmond last week, which Delaware won without an worries, brining about the key match-up of JMU (who beat #13 BSC Virginia Tech last week). Devlin, who missed the Duquense game because of a fracture in his arm, left after the second drive today with a concussion, but UD held on to beat JMU.

Prior to the SDSU win, Delaware had not beaten a Top-10 opponent since Flacco's last season in 2007. Of course, they have had several chances with key matchups again Richmond, JMU, and UMass the last few years.

With App State having off, I could see Delaware going into the Top 2 or 3 on Monday, which I think might be their highest ranking in a long long time.

[Crazysilver03]

#1 App State had off, #2 Villanova lost, #3 JMU lost, and #4 Jacksonville State barely beat Murray State.

I forsee Delaware taking over either #1 or #2.

[CrimsonTribe]

W&M should be moving up too. They beat Villanova.

It amazes me how stacked the CAA is. 5 of the top 10, 6 of the top 12, and 7 of the top 15 are CAA teams.

[millsy25]

That was such a cheap shot on Devlin, as the JMU defender slung him to the ground seven yards behind the line of scrimmage when Pat had already handed the ball off and wasn't carrying out a fake. How there was no 15 yard penalty is beyond me.

Hats off to Saesek, a redshirt FR, who showed some poise leading them on the winning FG drive. UD's defense is flat out nasty this year, having allowed 3 TD's in 5 games and a scoring defense of 6.5 ppg. Pierce could be something special the next 3 years too.

The CAA is always stacked. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for schools to move up to the FBS.

Congrats on the win.

If Saesk can develop into a solid QB, that would be amazing. I would love to see Keeler develop his own QB for once, instead of taking a recruit from a Pennsylvania school.

They definitely need a strong core moving forward as they start to play more Division 1A teams when they go back to the 11 game schedule.

Villanova has been invited to the Big East for a long time now, they just haven't taken them up on the offer.

There is also a rumor that Delaware could get an invite, but having worked with the football team and in the presidents office, there is not going to be any move in the near future as they like being a big fish in the small pond.

Keep in mind that the FBS demands a team have at least a 15,000 seating capacity stadium. Delaware has the biggest stadium in 1AA until James Madison's renovations are complete and Old Dominion's stadium is built. UD has a 22,000, I believe JMU is heading up to 25,000, and ODU will be close to 27,000. Of course, ODU is just getting football back in general so expecting a move up to FBS is unrealistic.

But with Delaware taking on Navy and Maryland in the recent years and with matchups against Navy and Pitt in the future, as well as JMU's matchups with Maryland and VTech, I would like to see UMass go up against BC or BU.

[millsy25]

Delaware up three spots to #2 this week. W&M at 4, Nova at 6, JMU to 7, UMass at 8 Richmond at 11.

[Crazysilver03]

Delaware crushed Maine, to move to 6-0. Jacksonville State is poised to move to 6-0, while App State and Elon are tied, but App State will probably pull out on top, to move to 5-0.

On the flip side, Richmond was shut out by New Hampshire, putting them both at 3 losses on the season.

Way too many drops by UD WR's today, including Crosby who was wiiiide open in the end zone. Pat could have easily thrown for over 400 yards. Otherwise, they played well again.

I didn't have a chance to see the game but I read they played pretty bad.

Delaware gets Rhode Island (2-3, 1-1 CAA) at home next week.

UMass (4-1) and Villanova (3-2) come back from byes, while NH takes on JMU.

[Crazysilver03]

Another win for Delaware, with a loss by JMU to NH, and a loss by UMass to Richmond.

[CrimsonTribe]

W&M takes down Delaware! Go Tribe!

[Crazysilver03]

Apparently, UD''s coach Keeler didn't make the best decisions but they lost when there last second FG veered left. Anyway, a lot of WM fans were still telling Delaware fans that UD was the better team.

From the look of the box score, things looked pretty even. I bet it was a great game to be at with the competitiveness and Homecoming atmosphere. The loss doesn't appear to have hurt Delaware too much.

[Crazysilver03]

Villanova (6-2), Williama and Mary (6-2), and Delaware (7-1) rank 3, 4, and 5, respectively in the nation.

UMass (5-3), James Madison (4-4), and Richmond (4-4) are on the borderline of being eliminated from the playoffs. Richmond is probably done at 4 loses, but JMU will get the Delaware treatment with 4 loses. For those unfamiliar, at 4 loses, any team is eliminated, except for Delaware because of the huge stadium and the revenue that comes along. But now JMU has a big stadium so they could still get in. Then again, all 4 of JMU's losses have come in conference.

If I had to guess, the 5 teams coming out of the CAA will be Nova, WM, UD, NH, and UMass.

Delaware has three more games left, against Towson (1-7), UMass, and Villanova. The Battle of the Blue could be a preview of the championship game.

W&M should have beaten UNC this week. I'm bitter about us giving it away, but it's nice to know that you should have beaten one of the big boys.

Is that 4 loss rule 4 losses overall or 4 FCS losses?

Just like Delaware should have beaten W&M. :D

I didn't realize the loss was to UNC. That won't hurt W&M really, but a win would have definitely helped. In the years Delaware plays Navy, losing doesn't effect them too much, but winning helps them.

Touche sir.

[Crazysilver03]

Today has an interestng slate of games, but nothing as interesting as JMU vs. Richmond. Both teams are at 4-4 so the loser will miss the playoffs while the winner still has an uphill battle. It has been several years since either team didn't make the playoffs so it would be interesting to see one of them get knocked out with two more games left.

There is also William and Mary taking on New Hampshire in a low scoring game so far.

[Crazysilver03]

Richmond knocked JMU out of the playoffs, Delaware crushed Towson 48-0, and Villanova was upset by Rhode Island.

Oh yeah, #1 App State fell. JKST crushed their opponent, and W&M barely eeked by New Hampshire.

Delaware and William and Mary will be ranked 2 of the top 3 schools in the country.

I would personally rank them W&M, Delaware, and JKST.

[millsy25]

Oh yeah, #1 App State fell. JKST crushed their opponent, and W&M barely eeked by New Hampshire.

Jacksonville St. is down 49-37 with 5 min left.

So, yea W&M and Delaware should be 1-2. With the win, UD has locked up a playoff spot and has to win out and have W&M lose one game to win the CAA.

My best friend is in the marching band at UD and she is really hoping they lock up first place so they get the bye week over Thanksgiving, or at least place in the top 4 assuming those are the ones that get the bye.

William and Mary has JMU (4-5) and Richmond (5-4) left on there schedule. I hope both teams put up good fights trying to knock W&M down a few notches, but I think W&M should win out.

Delaware has UMass (6-3) and Villanova (6-3) to end the season.

Villanova has New Hamsphire (5-4) and Delaware (8-1) to end the season.

UMass has Delaware (8-1) and Rhode Island (4-5) to end the season.

This is going to be a wild last two weeks for the top spots in the CAA.

With the way teams are playing in the rest of the I-AA, Villanova and UMass could both be eliminated by Delaware to end the season.

Jacksonville State loses, meaning the #1, #2, and #3 seeds all lose in Week 10, pushing W&M and Delaware up to #1 and #2 in the country.

Delaware will almost definitely get a bye. With the playoffs expanding to 20 teams this year, the top 12 get a bye and 13-20 face off to get down to 16 teams.

Wow, that is very cool.

I didn't know FCS teams could receive those votes either.

I wonder if this speaks to the lack of quality in the FBS vs. Delaware's strength, since I can't remember ever seeing App State in the an FBS poll.

Seeing as how Alabama crapped the bed, W&M is all I have left. Who woulda thunk it? Go Tribe!

About that vote in the AP Top 25

Delaware’s vote in the AP Top 25 that came out Sunday was from long-time San Francisco Bay Area writer Ray Ratto, who now works for CSNbayarea.com. I emailed and asked him why he put Delaware on his ballot and here’s what he said (in mentioning the poll, Ratto is referring to the coaches Top 25, in which Delaware was fourth last week and William & Mary fifth, not the Sports Network media poll, in which W&M was fourth and UD fifth):

“Frankly, [Delaware] was the highest-ranked I-AA team not to lose on Saturday, and I couldn’t keep looking at Northern Illinois and San Diego State and Temple and Central Florida in an attempt to try and fill out my ballot without my eyes bleeding. Three-loss teams don’t impress me in the first week of November no matter who they are, so I don’t mind going down to the FCS to fill a spot that needs filling. Nothing more involved than that.”

http://blogs.delawareonline.com/collegesports/2010/11/08/1706/


As expected, Delaware climbed from fifth to second in the Sports Network I-AA football Top 25 today after the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 teams lost Saturday.

William & Mary, which handed Delaware its only loss 17-16 Oct. 23, is No. 1 for the first time in its history after getting 105 of the available 162 first-place votes. Thirty-one went to Delaware (7-1), a 48-0 winner over Towson Saturday.

Massachusetts (6-3), Delaware’s opponent this Saturday at 1 p.m. in Amherst, is ranked 14th.

Delaware is No. 1 in the coaches poll, which has just 28 voters, with William & Mary No. 2. The Tribe (7-2) lost to I-A North Carolina the week after it beat Delaware.

[Crazysilver03]

http://www.udreview.com/sports/hens-postseason-bound-after-48-0-romp-1.1764608


The win moved the Hens up to No. 2 in the media poll and No. 1 in the coaches' poll this week. The team also received one vote for the AP top 25 poll, becoming just the fourth CAA team and the seventh FCS team to ever receive a vote.

[Crazysilver03]

#2 Delaware (9-1) crushes #14 UMass (6-4).
#1 W&M loses (7-3) to #17 New Hampshire (6-4).
#9 Villanova (6-4) lossed to NR James Madison (5-5).
#21 Richmond (6-4) won its game.

#4 Wofford was crushed by #3 Appalachian State.

This is shaping up to be very interesting in the CAA. After sending 4+ teams the last four years, they could possibly send only two.

Villanova comes to Delaware, with their playoff chances on the line. New Hampshire hosts (1-9) Towson, but a loss would definitely eliminate them from the playoffs. Appalachian State has a road trip to #22 (FBS) Florida, who is reeling after their loss to USC. UMass travels to Rhode Island (4-6) with their playoff hopes on the line. William and Mary (7-3) travels to Richmond (6-4) for the battle of Virginia, with Richmond's hopes on the line.

The CAA could send two teams, or up to six teams, depending on outcomes.

[Crazysilver03]

http://blogs.delawareonline.com/collegesports/2010/11/14/delaware-in-position-for-top-seed-home-playoffs/


So, Delaware football fans, how do you feel about the possibility of playing three NCAA playoff games at home?

It worked pretty well in 2003, when Delaware built momentum with Delaware Stadium wins over Southern Illinois (first round), Northern Iowa (quarterfinal blizzard bowl) and Wofford (semifinals attended by Clydesdales) en route to a title game rout of Colgate (“Colgate pasted!” as News Journal sports copy editor Karl “Turf King” Feldner would announce every Saturday night when a Colgate loss moved across the wire).

The 9-1 Blue Hens are now in position to have that same scenario in 2010.

Saturday’s 45-27 win at Massachusetts coupled with William & Mary’s 30-24 loss at James Madison put Delaware alone in first place in the CAA. A win over Villanova in the regular-season finale this Saturday will give Delaware the title outright — something it hasn’t done since 1995 (Delaware shared all its league titles since — 2000, 2003 and 2004).

Should that happen, it’s hard to imagine Delaware being anything but a No. 1 or No. 2 seed and — if it keeps winning — being able to play three home playoff games leading to the title game Jan. 7 at its new spot — Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas, home of Major League Soccer’s FC Dallas.

Delaware, by the way, has won five straight home playoff games. But there are no guarantees when good teams gather. Delaware had three home playoffs in 2000, when it lost in the semifinals to Georgia Southern, and 1997, when McNeese State handed Delaware one of the most disappointing defeats in its history in the semifinals.

Appalachian State (9-1), which has only lost in OT to Georgia Southern, wrapped up the SoCon automatic bid by smashing Wofford Saturday and has a game at Florida remaining, looks like the other No. 1 or 2 seed.

If Delaware loses to Villanova, and William & Mary wins against Richmond, that could change things, because the Tribe would then earn the automatic CAA bid by virtue of its 17-16 win over Delaware Oct. 23 even though they’d still share the title.

So there is a lot riding on Saturday’s noon Battle of the Blue vs. Villanova, which needs to upend the Hens to get a chance to defend its 2009 NCAA crown. The Wildcats are a mere 6-4.

The Blue Hens will very likely be ranked No. 1 in the Sports Network media poll Monday for the first time since the 2004 preseason, when they promptly lost to New Hampshire and that fourth-string-QB-turned-superstar Ricky Santos.

They’ll be No. 1 on my ballot.

This has been one of Delaware's best seasons in history.

[millsy25]

This has been one of Delaware's best seasons in history.

It's been a great year and hopefully the road to Frisco goes through Newark, but nothing will ever top that 2003 squad.

[CrimsonTribe]

#2 Delaware (9-1) crushes #14 UMass (6-4).
#1 W&M loses (7-3) to #17 New Hampshire (6-4).

W&M actually lost to JMU. We beat New Hampshire last week.

[millsy25]

Uggh, Delaware loses to 'Nova in OT after Pierce fumbles the ball at the two yard line. It seems like UD loses to Villanova every single year. Best they can hope for now is a bye and then a home game and then the rest would be road games.

[millsy25]

Delaware gets the #3 seed and a really good draw in the bracket. The possible road to Frisco is likley: Northern Iowa, New Hampshire and William and Mary. They also avoid App St., Stephen F. Austin and Nova until the finals.

Full Bracket: http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/ncaa/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/2010d1fballbracket.pdf

[Crazysilver03]

Wow, Steophen F Austin @ Villanova to start the second round off.

I think Delaware's #3 route looks a lot better than being #1 or #2. Give me Lehigh and New Hampshire/Behthune-Cookman at Delaware for the first two rounds over any of the other match-ups really.

That sets up a rematch with William and Mary at W&M for the semi-finals, assuming they get past Wofford or JKST. And then presumably, that sets up a final against either Appalachian State or Villanova.

I don't know who I'd rather like to face at that point. Villanova for revenge, or App State for revenge from 2007.

[Crazysilver03]

Delaware will get Lehigh in the second round. Lehigh beat Northern Iowa 14-7 on Saturday.

[Crazysilver03]

Surprisingly, #2 William and Mary is the first CAA team to bow out of the tournament after losing by two scores to an unispiring Georgia Southern team.

NH and Delaware crushed their opponents from inferior divisions to set up a match-up between the two of them next week.

Currently, Villanova just got back in the game against SFA after SFA dominated them for the first quarter of the game.

[Crazysilver03]

And Nova comes from 21-7 down to win 54-24, crazy-ness. But now they have App State and I hope they knock them off.

New Hampshire @ Delaware Friday night at 8 on ESPN 2.

[Crazysilver03]

Delaware and UNH are currently having an awesome defensive battle.

An interesting tidbit, according to the Sagarin (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt10.htm?loc=interstitialskip)ratings, when looking at both FCS and FBS schools, Delaware ranks 60th in the nation with a whole bunch of the top AA schools through 79, where New Hampshire is.

[Crazysilver03]

Hot damn!! UD moves on to the semifinals. And another home game.

Not a fan that there is a three week layover between the semifinals and the championship.

[millsy25]

Great game by the defense. They actually got some pressure tonight with 3 sacks, after only having 12 on the year.

Pat had a tough start but then got things going in the 2nd half with TD's to White and Schenaur. Next week it's Georgia Southern or Wofford, both of whom run the triple option.

[Crazysilver03]

This may be one of the few times I route for Villanova. I want a rematch with Villanova for the championship.

[Crazysilver03]

This may be one of the few times I route for Villanova. I want a rematch with Villanova for the championship.

I may regret this.

'Nova is laying the unholy smack-down on App State.

On a side not, I think Matt Szczur could get drafted early in the NFL draft and leave the Cubs organization.

[Crazysilver03]

Well, after a meeting with a very strong Georgia Southern team in Newark next weekend, we could be looking at a re-match with Villanova for the Championship.

[Crazysilver03]

Well we have Delaware going to the National Championship game to face a team that found a way to stop Villanova last night.

Sorry 'Nova, William and Mary, and New Hampshire.

[millsy25]

Delaware continuing to get the job done. With no superstars on offense or defense, UD is just a really good football team that finds ways to win. Delaware only threw the ball twice in the 2nd half, one being the TD on the WR screen, so props to Pierce and the Oline for getting the job done.

I'm so glad 'Nova lost last night as Talley owns Keeler for whatever reason. With Tawain Jones out for EWU, Delaware should be at least a TD favorite IMO.

There was a lot of luck for Delaware in this game, with a +5 TO ratio.

I am glad as well that 'Nova lost. After what they did the App State, I didn't think Delaware stood a chance against them.

I think it is lame though that we have to wait 3 weeks for the championship game.

Pierce is going to be a major piece for the next three years. I just wonder who will end up QB-ing next season.

Pierce will be a stud the next three years, as he just bounces off people and keeps on going. The only knock on him is his lack of break away speed, but that's why they have Hayes and Youk, who was recruited by Stanford.

Trevor Saesek and Justin Burns will have a good battle for QB in spring practice. Justin Burns, the 6'5" QB out of GA who is redshirting this year, was being heavily recruited out of HS by some bigtime FBS programs. The big concern is the entire secondary, as they are all seniors.

[Crazysilver03]

We are now less then 20 hours away from the big game.

There will be a heavy crowd slant to UD, so far 3500 to 1500 in tickets sold.

EWU is worried about Devlin.

Lets hope this is a replay of the Colgate game.

[millsy25]

12-0 UD at the half.

Game is pretty much going as expected. Delaware D dominating, and Devlin and the O looking sharp. Just wish we could punch it in the endzone more instead of settling for the two FG's.

[Crazysilver03]

19-0 with 22 minutes left.

Lets finish this off.

[Crazysilver03]

4 and out. beautiful.

[Crazysilver03]

This placement controversy is killer.

[Crazysilver03]

So upset right now.

[millsy25]

That's a tough, tough way to lose. Congrats to EWU for coming back, as Delaware just didn't show up the last 20 minutes.

There were so many could've, should've and would've's. If Perry makes the extra point. If Schenaur makes that catch on 3rd and 10 at the end of the third, it would have been first and ten in the red zone. That spot on 4th and 1 was BS, watching it live, he was definitely short. The linesman at the top of the screen gave him the extra yard and the one at the bottom was a full yard back.
