UD doing just what I thought they would. Run the gut. Furman's going to have to score like crazy.

[catbob]

Any video? channelsurfing.net shows it, but then gives me an error when I try and watch.

[93henfan]

And I predicted this would be a low scoring game.xlolx

I'm listening to local radio. No free TV on this. You can stream at http://www.wdsd.com/pages/udmens.html

[93henfan]

Furman - long pass to UD 41 on 3rd and 11 from own 19.

[PaladinFan]

It's been a few years since FU has played a low scoring game.

[93henfan]

Furman FUMBLE!!!

[93henfan]

UD ball at Furman 33.

[PaladinFan]

Turnovers and special teams will decide this one.

[93henfan]

Schoenhoft sacked on 3rd down. At 47. PUNT - touchback - Furman ball at 20

[PaladinFan]

I don't know why UD is doing anything other than running smith.

[93henfan]

Furman is finding pass success, UD run success.

[HensRock]

UD's pass defense better improve DRASTICALLY or we are in big trouble!

[93henfan]

Furman driving down to UD 43. 30 yd pass and then big run.

[93henfan]

UD's pass defense better improve DRASTICALLY or we are in big trouble!

Announcers say they're gambling instead of covering.

[HensRock]

I don't know why UD is doing anything other than running smith.

You and me both!

[PaladinFan]

UD will have success running the ball. Gotta get the ball out of Jordan Sorrells hands.

[PaladinFan]

big play here

[93henfan]

Furman to go for it on 4th and 1 at 30.

[93henfan]

Run to the Delaware 1!

[PaladinFan]

UD's defense seems lost.

[93henfan]

13-7 Furman - pending xp....

FB again. Sounds like Oohah? not sure of spelling

[introvertedGSUfan]

C'mon you Purple Pansies!xsmiley_wix :D

[PaladinFan]

TD PALADINS!!! UHAA

[93henfan]

No good on xp - hit post

[PaladinFan]

Tersoo Uhaa. Strange name. But great to yell.

That will come back to bite us.

[HensRock]

Pass Defense - ARGHHHHHH!!!!

Furma TD - XP hits the post no good

13-7 Dins

[PaladinFan]

Uhaa is only about 5'11 190, but he runs angry. He's becoming our short yardage goalline guy.

[93henfan]

TD PALADINS!!! UHAA

Ah ha! It's Uhaa. Thanks for the spelling.

[PaladinFan]

big penalty there.

[93henfan]

UD's defense seems lost.

They probably are. A few newbs out there due to injuries.

Our secondary had several lapses against West Chester, so I'm not surprised.

[HensRock]

How about a little Mr. Smith now!!!!

[93henfan]

INT - TD Furman

[93henfan]

20-7 Furman.

[HensRock]

CRAP!!!!!

INT by Furman. TD
Schoenhoft lloking down his receiver again

[PaladinFan]

Yahoo.

TD paladins!

I don't understand the Blue Hens game plan. They had all kinds of success running, but are going to the air and its killing them.

[HensRock]

I'll be the first to call for Ritacco. (Just want to beat the rush)

[93henfan]

I'll be the first to call for Ritacco. (Just want to beat the rush)

I'll second that.

[93henfan]

Run the bucking fall KC.

[HensRock]

Smith being taken out.
Brilliant!

[93henfan]

And Thaxton powers for a 1st.

RUN, RUN, RUN some more.

[93henfan]

And another first. At Furman 32.

[93henfan]

Another first at Furman 20.

[93henfan]

Offensive PI

[93henfan]

[93henfan]

Mother F - false start

[HensRock]

3rd and 10 - RUN!!!!

[HensRock]

3rd and 15 - RUN IT!!!!!!

[93henfan]

Delaware misses 42 yd FG try.

[93henfan]

If Furman scores next, this game is over.

[HensRock]

PASS DEFENSE BETTER STEP IT UP HERE.

[slostang]

What's the score and how much time left???

Thanks.

[93henfan]

Already been posted - but 20-7 Furman late 2nd q

[PaladinFan]

20-7 sometime in the second.

[HensRock]

Let them gain 8 on 1st down so they won't pass!

[93henfan]

Furman stuffed - to punt...

[93henfan]

Let them gain 8 on 1st down so they won't pass! xlolx

[PaladinFan]

Gotta hold em here Dins

[HensRock]

Let's see....
Smith can run, so let's try Thaxton.
Nope.
OK,let's try Butler...


Brilliant!

[93henfan]

Delaware 1st down at midfield . Love with clutch catch.

[Blue Hen Nation]

The Hens didn't come prepared for this one.

[93henfan]

Michaud with catch at 32! FIRST DOWN

[93henfan]

Delaware 1st down at Furman 15.

[93henfan]

We got mo! We got rhythm.:D

[Blue Hen Nation]

Michaud with catch at 32! FIRST DOWN

Either you're very gifted or my feed is 30 secs to late.

[HensRock]

We want SMITH

[PaladinFan]

The Hens didn't come prepared for this one.

Far far from over. The Hens are moving the ball.

[93henfan]

3rd and 3.

[PaladinFan]

gotta hold em to a field goal

[93henfan]

Short of the first on 3rd.

[slostang]

Already been posted - but 20-7 Furman late 2nd q

Thanks, I already had read through two pages and did not want to look through 6 more.

Sounds like a great game.

[93henfan]

4th and short - Furman calls TO while caught in defensive switch...

Very heads up TO.

[93henfan]

4th and 2 - Delaware intercepted.

[PaladinFan]

interception!!!1

[93henfan]

Bench Schoenhoft NOW.

[93henfan]

Ritacco had better be massaging the center's balls in the second half.

[Blue Hen Nation]

New QB.....come on!

[HensRock]

UD coaching staff is caompletely outguessing themselves. THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!!!!!!

[PaladinFan]

Middleton probably gives up 6 inches and 100 lbs to the man he was covering.

[Blue Hen Nation]

This is embarassing! xsmhx

[HensRock]

Crap - we stopped them on 1st down - now they'll pass!

[93henfan]

LOU-RI-TAC-CO, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP-CLAP-CLAP.

Sing it with me!

[Blue Hen Nation]

LOU-RI-TAC-CO, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP-CLAP-CLAP.

Sing it with me!

Keeler has to give it serious consideration. xnodx

[HensRock]

This is completely on our coaching staff.
Not prepared and they are outguessing themselves on offense.

[PaladinFan]

I'll feel good going into the half up two scores.

[93henfan]

Halftime

20-7 Furples


Delaware first half grades:

Coaching F
QB F-
Secondary F+

[PaladinFan]

good half Furman.

[HensRock]

OH
43 seconds left.

NOW THEY DECIDE TO RUN SMITH!!!!!!

Brilliant!

[HensRock]

I would at least like to see how Ritacco does with the team. We'll never know unless we try him. With how close the battle was in camp, it is very surprising to me that Ritacco has not seen more action.

[PaladinFan]

Not sure what to expect now. Against Colgate Furman lit it up in the second half (after scoring 20 points). Against VT they couldn't get a thing working.

Both teams need to establish the running game. I think that is the way for the Hens to win. Furman needs to have that extra element on the offense.

Either way, SoCon take note, Furman is for real.

[93henfan]

I still don't feel like Delaware is done yet, though like I said earlier, they have to score next.

If Furman goes down and makes it 27-7 on their first drive, mail it in boys and enjoy our 6-6 season! This road schedule won't get any easier.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

I missed all but the last few minutes of the first half, but from reading through this thread, it sounds as if Delaware has a long way to go to be a good football team. Conversely, it sounds like Furman is for real. xthumbsupx

[PaladinFan]

This game is far from over. Furman needs to get points to open the second half.

[Jacks76]

Indeed, Furman looks for real. They are a strong football team and are showing it in the first half. Look for more of the same in the second.

Paul

[93henfan]

Furman takes 2nd half kickoff to own 31 yd line.

[93henfan]

Big pass to UD territory on first play.

[93henfan]

Delaware secondary continues to fail.

[Death Dealer]

I'm here at the game. The score doesn't refect the game. Delaware's D is tough. Sorrells has really been on. That along with turnovers is what's killing the Hens.

There is still two quarters to go, and my heart won't stop thumping hard until the clock says 00:00 and Furman is till ahead.

[93henfan]

Another first down at UD 34.

[93henfan]

4th and 5. Furman to attempt FG. 47 yd - FAKE.

Incomplete.

[93henfan]

Delaware ball at own 29.

[Blue Hen Nation]

Thank the Lord!

[93henfan]

Jonathan Smith clutching knee...


FUDGE

[93henfan]

Crowd claps pretty quickly as radio goes to commercial so I'll assume it's not a stretcher injury.

[93henfan]

Delaware stuffed, to punt...

Furman ball own 24

[Blue Hen Nation]

Our offense appears to be hopeless. :(

[93henfan]

1st down Furman on 14 yd run

[93henfan]

To any late comers - 20-7 Furman early in 3rd Q

[HensRock]

RITACCO

[Blue Hen Nation]

Enough is enough, put in RITACCO!

[93henfan]

LOU-RI-TAC-CO, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP-CLAP-CLAP

[Blue Hen Nation]

Furman should be good for a twenty yard pass here.

[93henfan]

Furman nullifying big plays with false start and hold on this drive - back to own 25 - 3rd and 23

[Blue Hen Nation]

Damn, I'm good. Wait, flag on the play.

[93henfan]

Furman to punt...

Delaware ball at own 26

50 yard punt 7 yd return - kudos to furple punter!

[Blue Hen Nation]

Come on Hens, get you rears in gear.

[93henfan]

Still Schoenhoft in game

[93henfan]

1st down pass to UD 40 - Love

[93henfan]

1st down UD pass to Furman 35 - Michaud

[93henfan]

We need the Seniors to step it up and lead. Go Hens!!!

You call the play before I hear it...

My internet feed must be about ten seconds behind yours. :p

[93henfan]

You call the play before I hear it...

My internet feed must be about ten seconds behind yours. :p

It's 40 secs behind - I tried both live and net to test

[93henfan]

Furman stuffs UD - Big 3rd coming up at 9 yd ln

[93henfan]

To Furman 2 yd line just short

[Blue Hen Nation]

We have to go for this!

[HensRock]

Delaware GOING FOR ITxthumbsupx

DO THIS!!! Close to a yard to get first. Two for TD.

[93henfan]

DELAWARE TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 20-14 Furman

[Blue Hen Nation]

You're killing me.....whoa!

[Nebuta]

Smith. Remember the name. That kid is all world.. Hens just need to give that kid the rock...

[PaladinFan]

got no answer for that guy. Furman's offense has to get a drive going and burn some clock.

Good news for Hens, nearly everytime Furman blows an xpt we lose by one.

[HensRock]

Time to build some character. Great job by the OL.
FU 20
UD 14

[93henfan]

TIGHTEN' UP BOYS. WE'RE IN THIS AGAIN!!!

[93henfan]

1st and 10 Furman from own 24

[HensRock]

Let's go D-FENSE !!!!!!

[93henfan]

1st down Furman own 37

[PaladinFan]

Furman needs to give the defense a breather. Keep the chains moving.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Time for Bobby Lamb to have one of his long touchdown drives made up of many short passes. Eat up the clock and make it 27-14.

[Death Dealer]

Wish you guys were here. This is a grea game. GO FU!!!!!!!!!!

[93henfan]

Furman to UD 18 - BIG PASS!

[HensRock]

We have no pass defense

[Death Dealer]

YES!!!!! Remember thay guys name. MIKE BROWN!!!!!!!!!!

[PaladinFan]

Doesn't sound like the Hens have anyone that can run with Brown.

[93henfan]

Furple gets illegal formation penalty...

[PaladinFan]

HAVE to have at least 3

[GP91HEN]

Too many big plays given up by the Hens. :(

[93henfan]

3rd and 2

[93henfan]

3rd and 7 - another furple flag - false start

[93henfan]

Furman 1st down inside 10

[Blue Hen Nation]

What is up with our D?

[93henfan]

What is up with our D?

They suck.

[93henfan]

ANOTHER Furman penalty! illegal formation again - wow

[Blue Hen Nation]

We need a turnover!

[93henfan]

1st and goal at 12

[Blue Hen Nation]

ANOTHER Furman penalty! illegal formation again - wow

Furman playing undiciplined ball in the second half.

[93henfan]

2nd and goal pass tipped

[Blue Hen Nation]

Way to step up Matt!

[93henfan]

3rd and goal from 12 - incomplete in end zone

[PaladinFan]

come on you Paladins.

[93henfan]

4th down - FG try upcoming...

[Blue Hen Nation]

Big stand!

[93henfan]

FIELD GOAL GOOD - Furman 23 - Delaware 14

[introvertedGSUfan]

edit: nevermind, see it now

[PaladinFan]

gotta have this. make it a two score game.

[PaladinFan]

Great drive. Didn't get the seven, but ate up a lot of clock and made it a two score game.

[93henfan]

13:52 left in 4th

23-14 Furman

Delaware ball own 28, 1st and 10

[PaladinFan]

Likely going to have to force the quarterback to start throwing again. I don't know if UD can afford to keep running Smith and clock.

[Death Dealer]

Missed opportunities are killing us. stop these damn motion penaties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[93henfan]

Delaware 4th and inches

[93henfan]

Delaware to go for it - own side of field

[93henfan]

1ST DOWN DELAWARE - easily on the sneak - at own 41

[Blue Hen Nation]

Whew!

[93henfan]

Another big 3rd down - 3rd and 8

[93henfan]

to punt

[PaladinFan]

What now Keeler?

[93henfan]

Schoenhoft is a dog

[Blue Hen Nation]

You have to punt it.

[PaladinFan]

This drive by Furman will decide the game, IMO.

[93henfan]

Furman fumbles punt!

[PaladinFan]

oh brother.

[Blue Hen Nation]

Give us a turnover.

[93henfan]

But flag down - let's see - yep - interference on the return

[PaladinFan]

whew. Dodged a bullet there.

[Blue Hen Nation]

xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx ....too funny!

[93henfan]

Play was incorrectly called - there is no longer a 2 yd halo rule and Delaware did not touch returner - blown call

[93henfan]

Oh well - play on

[HensRock]

There is no more halo rule.
Bad call by the refs - should be UD ball!

[Blue Hen Nation]

The call appears to be questionable. The Halo Rule was done away - sheez!

[Nebuta]

Missed opportunities are killing us. stop these damn motion penaties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missed opportunities are killing Hens as well. One turnover in the redzone and the one return for a TD. And a turnover by the Furman special teams.. but the officals had a bad call there

[PaladinFan]

Jordan Sorrells has 253 yards passing.

Looks good for the rest of the season. This is the best defense we'll see the rest of the way in.

[93henfan]

Furman ball at 36.

[93henfan]

3rd and 1 at Furman 45

[Blue Hen Nation]

It's not looking good with 10 minutes on the clock.

[93henfan]

This is the best defense we'll see the rest of the way in.

I wouldn't insult the SoCon like that. Delaware's defense has proven to be horrid in this game.

[93henfan]

Delaware holds on 3rd and 1 - Furman to....

[PaladinFan]

punt bobby.

[93henfan]

TO Furman

[Blue Hen Nation]

Agreed, surely you'll see better.

[93henfan]

Furman to....

...punt it away apparently.

[PaladinFan]

I wouldn't insult the SoCon like that. Delaware's defense has proven to be horrid in this game.

Not really. You guys are limiting the run. Turnovers have really helped us.

Furman lost a game last year after scoring 51. The best SoCon defenses give up an average of 27 ppg. we are a high scoring league that gets into a bunch of shootouts.

[93henfan]

Delaware ball at own 21.

[PaladinFan]

looks like we got a lucky bounce on Trent Hawks one terrible punt a game.

[Nebuta]

UD needs to stay with the run.. Plenty of time on the clock

[93henfan]

1st down UD at own 41. Love.

[PaladinFan]

Sounds like yall have a good player in Love.

[93henfan]

Delaware in hurry-up.

1st down UD at Furman 20!!!

[PaladinFan]

As of just a little bit, both of Furmans quarterbacks are out with injury.

[PaladinFan]

cornerbacks, sorry

[Blue Hen Nation]

That's the way you do it boys - whoa!

[93henfan]

Injuries on field - Furman - Brandon Williams stays down - Middleton gets up - ran into each other - sounds like they'll be OK

[Nebuta]

Have Smith run a few. Keep FU defense honest.

[93henfan]

Schoenhoft wild on 1st and 2nd down - c'mon guys.

[93henfan]

RUN THE FUGGIN BALL

[Blue Hen Nation]

Come one Robbie.

[93henfan]

Delaware intercepted

Then Furman fumbles

Delaware ball againxlolx

[BestOfBreed]

Furman with the INT but then fumbles it back!!!

[PaladinFan]

GAH!!!

[Blue Hen Nation]

This guy sucks! WTF!

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

I wouldn't insult the SoCon like that. Delaware's defense has proven to be horrid in this game.

He is probably right. You will see Furman in many shootouts in SoCon play this year. Your defense is not that bad, Furman is just better than some of your fans think. It is not the team that lost to Hofstra early last year.

[93henfan]

1st and 10 at Furman 48

[PaladinFan]

7:36 remaining in game

[Nebuta]

Note to Hens O.c. run the ball.

[Blue Hen Nation]

Keeler, get this hack off the field.

[93henfan]

Intercepted again - JESUS H. CHRIST
