Don't let all the outside stuff of this week and all the emotions of this game distract us. Just treat this like any other game and just win. We just need to focus on going 1 and 0 every week, no matter what it takes or how ugly it is. We went 1 and 0 this week, time to do it again this coming week.
NEWARK, Del. - J.P. Caruso hit Jamie Jarmon on a 27-yard scoring pass and Delaware cashed in on two turnovers to beat William & Mary 17-0 on Saturday in a battle between two of the Colonial Athletic Association's top defenses.
Both teams were held to under 250 yards of total offense and the Blue Hens (4-2, 2-1), who entered No. 3 in league scoring defense (16.8 points per game) converted an interception by Colby Reeder into a field goal.
Nasir Adderley recovered a fumble on a muffed fourth-quarter punt return that set up Kani Kane's 1-yard touchdown run four plays later, and earlier returned an interception 45 yards, setting up a Delaware drive that ended with a missed field goal attempt.
Frank Raggo's 35-yard field goal gave Delaware a 10-0 halftime lead.
William & Mary's defense, which entered No. 5 in scoring defense (17.8 points per game), forced 10 Delaware punts and stopped the Blue Hens once on downs.
The offense, however, entered Delaware territory four times and was held to 201 total yards, 104 passing and 97 rushing.
Shon Mitchell, the first true freshman to start as quarterback since 1975 (Tom Rozantz), completed 19 of 36 passes with two interceptions for the Tribe (2-4, 0-3), which has lost three straight.

CAA Teleconference might be good for a live listen tomorrow...
"The next call comes from the line of John Oconnor from the Times Dispatch..."
"Coach, let's talk December 2016..."

I guess when you don't score, anything is a highlight and over 5 minutes worth.
When a two yard gain is a highlight, you are in real trouble.
