[Mattymc727]

Go Blue Hens!

UD didn't look very good that second half in Durham though...

Nova by at least 2 scores

[caribbeanhen]

not as fun as it once was, Hen fans have flown the coop

[HailSzczur]

not as fun as it once was, Hen fans have flown the coop

The last 2 games were a lot of fun and very close with the Cats winning on the last drive last year and taking only a 7 point lead into the 4th in 2012

[CatsWinCatsWinCatsWin]

It's not the same as beating Keeler or Tubby. It's a shame that both of their final games at UD were losses to Villanova. Oh well. . . . .

[CHIP72]

More like the Blue Hens as a very good, perennial playoff team have flown the coop.

I can tell you are real upset about that. ;)

[Anovafan]

How does the bluehens.com video feed work? I won't be able to make it in person this week.

[Ivytalk]

Maybe 15K fans will be "announced" for the game. Actual butts in the seats: maybe half of that.

[superman7515]

How does the bluehens.com video feed work? I won't be able to make it in person this week.

Just go to the website and the link will appear shortly before kickoff. Doesn't cost anything, but from what I understand it doesn't open up until very close to the actual kickoff, not necessarily the announced time for kickoff.

[bluehenbillk]

I'm hoping that like last season it'll be a competitive game. Our defense is slightly improved from last year but our offense & special teams aren't as good.

Thanks! I will register and have it ready to go for gametime. This game should be on local TV each year. The CAA tv schedule sucked this year.

[Nova09]

13-0, all Nova, 2 long td drives and haven't faced a 3rd down. Del gained 0 yards on first drive

Nova missed another xp

- - - Updated - - -

VA fans could celebrate handoff to Monongai for 1st TD, but JR pass to Monongai for 2nd

[Nova09]

JR 40 yd td pass to Poppy

Delaware answers with first good drive, gets on board with td

20-7 10 mins to go in half

[Nova09]

Good news for VA fans: JR int

Though 4th down ints should have a different stat, cuz it actually gained us field position so not really a negative

[Nova09]

Nova gets zero points on a drive starting at Del 2, add another missed fg to the stat sheet

- - - Updated - - -

20-7 at the half

[Nova09]

VA and Vad fans more to celebrate: JR tackled at half yard line, Monongai punches it in. JR is over 80 rushing but has not rushed for TD, which would be his big double digit rushing td

[Nova09]

And UD answers with a TD dive, 27-14 with 2:42 left in 3rd

[Mr. C]

Good drive on the Cats first third period drive. 28-7. Spoke too soon. Another extra pointscrew-up

[Nova09]

Good defensive stand by the hens, Nova punt on first play of 4th 27-14

[Nova09]

Delaware timeout 10:01 on clock 4th and 2 from 6 coming

Would be one score game if Del TD

[Nova09]

TD on play action roll out to the flat

[Nova09]

3 and out, delaware ball 8:28

[Nova09]

Offsetting penalties on Del 3rd down that picked up 1st on field, replay down and Nova stops them

[Nova09]

Another 3 and out, Del takes over at their own 48 after good punt return 4:38

[Nova09]

Nova timeout (first) 2:08 Del 3rd and goal from 1 27-21 Nova lead

[Nova09]

Hens TD, 28-27 Delaware lead 2:04

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Wow!

[Panther-State]

Damn it Nova. You just couldn't lose...

[Nova09]

And that's why JR is your Payton winner

[Grizzlies82]

And that's why JR is your Payton winner

How did Nova manage to win it?

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Glad nova won! This was theyll get to defend their home turf....

[Nova09]

4th and 15 JR completion (only 4th and 15 cuz WR dropped, I mean a real drop not could have caught, what would have been at least 45 yard gain, maybe TD), 4th and 1 JR bounce the run for 10 yard gain, stalled long enough for WR to drag all the way across field to get open for go ahead TD pass, rollout and complete 2 pt conversion just for good measure to make a full 7 point lead

[Grizzlies82]

Thanks for the description. Congrats to Villanova. Nice way to plow into the playoffs.
