Delaware State has had a hard time winning football games in recent years...however, they do hold a dubious FCS football record...losing 105-0 versus Portland State in 1980 is the largest losing margin ever in FCS football...like Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak that one may never be broken...
for the third straight week the Spiders could be a significant favorite over a rebuilding program...State head coach Lee Hull expects better things than last season's 1-10, 0-5 MEAC, but on MEAC Media Day the Hornets were picked to finish in the MEAC basement again...
besides getting the win, the most important thing about this game is the team learning what it takes to win on the road...no doubt if these Spiders hope to defend their CAA Championship they will have to win on the road in the much tougher games CAA games ahead...I believe we were 4-0 on the road in the CAA last season..
the game winds up our non conference schedule and Satchmo would be surprised if we don't finish 3-1...the Terriers, Buccaneers and Hornets are all rebuilding...Richmond is in most FCS Top 20 preseason polls and picked to finish 2nd in the CAA...these are wins a team that lives up to these expectations wins on the field...
enjoy the Countdown!
Go Spiders!
