I’m here to read all the Blue Hen pregame bravado & defend the Wildcat case for an upset here.

Nova is playing uninspired football on the offensive side of the ball, but it’s the rival Blue hens coming to the Main Line. Stranger things have happened.

Love to have Caribbean hen, Mr. Chicken, & other fowl friends sweating out selection Sunday with another loss to the seemingly toothless Cats. xpeacex

Just don't Tell me Andy Talley is going to make a guest appearance on the sidelines

Under my thumb would be an appropriate song to play if he does

Talley owned KC Keeler and I won't even mention Brock but I have it on good authority that when Davey was fired that's when Talley decided to announce his retirement

As for the game next Saturday, despite Novas rapid descent Into the SPCA. no one South of the Pennsylvania State line will be taking them lightly and it will probably be a white knuckler into the fourth quarter so hold on tight

No sweating necessary. A loss to Villanova and our season is rightfully ended. Heck even at 8-3 Blue Hens faithful won't exactly sleep soundly.

Gang tackle, if we lose there won't be any sweating on selection Sunday, Delaware has no chance at 7 and 4
Besides we won't have any water left to sweat after all the crying on Saturday

Dear Blue Hen fans,

You have little fear on Saturday. Our offense fell to even newer lows as impossible as that may seem.

The opening drive resulted in a FG for the Cats, but only after our receiver who was 10 yards from any defender on his way to the end zone fell down. Fell all by his lonesome.

Then managed to screw up a 1st & goal on the 1 by going 15 yards backwards for the other FG.

Nova rushed 21 times for 1 yard vs Rhody. Yep not a typo 21 for 1. Passed 11-30 for 150 or so. Had a punt blocked to add insult to injury.

Defense looks tired & although still not bad it’s not as good as earlier in the season.

I think you score early it will get ugly.

I think it is fair to say that Mark Ferrante probably isn't Villanova's version of Penn's Ray Priore (who like Ferrante took over for an excellent, long-time coach at a Philadelphia area DI-AA school but unlike Ferrante, led his team to a league title in his first year).

Help us Andy Talley, you are our only hope.

agree Mr C, would like to see freshman Coleman get more involved in the offense as he is one of the few that has shown a little speed this year

also the freshman RB Corey Spruill steps in for the injured Kani Cane and makes His presence known at the game yesterday

One of the highlights of the day was a Delaware completed forward pass and a scan of the stands showed Dick Vermeal celebrating with Vinny "the movie star star" Papale

Delaware should win a close, low-scoring game.

But we also should have won more than one of the last eleven games in the series.

Villanova has our number the past eleven seasons, so until we prove otherwise, this game is a pick ‘em.

Just to purge some of the kitty demons I remember the 2013 game Delaware comes in seven and three thinking a win will get us in the playoffs. They come out smoking and jump to a big lead the celebration starts only we didn't fully understand what Brock had planned for us just yet, one of Brocks first choke jobs as nova rallies for the win and our playoff dreams die

My hope is that our young men look across the field and see a team that they have a great history of competing against in up & down seasons.

Hopefully, someone within the Villanova football family can inspire the offense to play at a level we haven’t seen in quite awhile.

I suspect that if the offense can show some vital signs of life that we can be in for a helluva game. That hasn’t happened in over a month so holding my breath is not a smart decision.

Hoping for some fight from my Cats before packing it in for the winter! xtroublex xpeacex

As Carib and others have stated no one from UD fandom will be taking this game lightly and neither will the team. The loss to Towson taught that - although we've been flat even after that debacle and so with Nova having our number so many years and Hens showing a capacity to come out flat for 3 qtrs, we all expect a hard fought game and the winner will be the team that played the best. If we lose we are out and no one is holding our breath about that. As the other Hen fan said even going 8-3 wont guarantee a post season bid. Hens!

Nothin' against the 'cats, but I'm rooting for the Hens in this one as it improves our chances (assuming we beat Laughyette) of not having to travel to UNH and may get sent to either SBU or "The Tub", which I'd prefer. Great atmosphere and Lehigh would bring a good crowd. An old rivalry that needs some reviving!

Ross Ventrone. Played for the Pats and last time I checked was with the Steelers last year. He could bring the wood much like his older brother Ray Ventrone who also played in the NFL.

These were the starting safeties that game:

I more vividly remember the two pick-6's to end the game as I was on the field at that point, waiting for the pain to end.

Auto plows into crowd after UD win
4 hurt outside Villanova Stadium
By DOUG LESMERISES
Staff reporter
11/23/2003
VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Four people were injured after the University of Delaware football game Saturday night when a car drove through a crowd of about 100 football players, family and friends outside the locker room at Villanova Stadium, police said.
Villanova Athletic Director Vince Nicastro said his team's chaplain, the Rev. Bernard Lazor, was behind the wheel of the green Ford Taurus after it stopped at the end of a 25-foot wide driveway on the south side of the stadium where the crowd had gathered. However, Radnor Township police did not identify the driver and no arrests were made late Saturday.
Several witnesses said people "went down like dominoes" while the driver, traveling about 30 mph, honked the horn but never stopped.
One end of the driveway opens into a lot where the Delaware team buses were parked during the game. The Taurus was traveling in the opposite direction, which comes to a dead end at stairs and a wheelchair ramp. Two other cars were parked along the driveway after the game.
"We weren't there to get hit," said Debbie Edwards of Wallingford, Pa., the mother of Delaware center Chris Edwards, who was not hurt. "We were there to greet the players coming out. Everyone was talking and no one was paying attention and, all of a sudden, this car just headed down there. People were under the tires, on top of the hood. I would have been under the tire if my friend hadn't pushed me out of the way."
Some fans stood by in tears while at least two injured people were taken away by ambulances and Delaware's football equipment was being loaded into a truck several feet away. Student trainer Jen Jones, 22 and a senior at UD, said the crowd was mostly Delaware fans.
"After all of our games, the fans come by to see us and congratulate the players and say hi to the team," Jones said. "It all happened very fast. He just plowed through. There was no brakelights - nothing. You didn't even hear the horn until it was too late."
Brian Honeycutt, 37, of Newark, said he was nearly hit. He said he then ran alongside the car after it went through the crowd, yelling at the driver to stop. He said he saw the driver staring straight ahead with his hands on top of the steering wheel.
Many of the Delaware players were either speaking in a postgame news conference or still getting dressed in the locker room as the car came through. Quarterback Andy Hall said he heard someone run into the locker room yelling, "Get a doctor out here."
"I don't know what's going on, but people just got run over," Hall said. "It was a lot of our families. The football game is irrelevant right now. It's totally irrelevant."
Delaware won the game 20-17 to win the Atlantic 10 Conference championship.
University of Delaware administrators could not be reached for comment.
According to Villanova's football media guide, Lazor has been a priest for 50 years and is an assistant professor of religious studies at the university.

True. I think Nova overcompensated for Lauletta’s passing prowess. Some knowledgeable football people at that game noticed that Lauletta checked down a lot when he saw Nova’s LB off the line of scrimmage. Who knows? Can’t argue that Richmond ran the ball down their throats. Delaware will win going away if they can run effectively, but I bet Nova won’t respect Delaware’s pass game like they did vs. Richmond.

We've lost 10 of the past 11 in the series and it looks like the trend will continue.

Congrats to Villanova on being in the heads of three University of Delaware head football coaches.

28-7 final. Villanova eliminates Delaware from playoff contention.

Nice win Nova. UD is now on the playoff bubble. Based on the way the Hens played today I’d be merciful and let them stay home.

No Delaware fan will argue with you

Sorry Delaware. I’d be surprised if the CAA gets more than 4 teams. It’s either Delaware or UNH & the your AD isn’t on the selection committee. Stranger things have happened, but I don’t see it.

UNH laying an egg against Albany is the only thing that could give us a sliver of hope, but they have the FBS win against GA Southern, the Elon win for them is about equal to our win against Stony Brook, but they've been blanked twice while we've only been blanked once, and it was by VA Tech... Still, this is on us, we should've come out prepared against 'Nova, and we shouldn't have lost to Towson.

I’m not looking to pour salt in any Blue Hens wounds, but 3 things that I saw from this game:

Your offense is worse than ours (not good for you guys)

Our LBs are better than yours. Just don’t get the hype. (Troy - 3 tackles) Shockley & Steeb deserve all- CAA honors. They just don’t have the hype machine working for him.

Last thing, Rocco is overrated. Didn’t have that team prepared to play. ✌️

He's an improvement over Brock. I'm willing to give him another year or two to really show what he can do, let's see who he recruits, what transfers he can entice, and where he can go from here.

So if by some miracle Delaware gets in and hosts Lehigh, we may see a remotely competitive game.
