Blue Hens Want To Take A Run at Nova

[UncleEd]

Head line in Tuesday's Wilmington News Journal. "We're going to have to run it at them. I've watched UConn and Fordham play horizontally against them, playing laterally against them, and I think you're playing into their hands a little bit if you think you're going to run around them. They're very fast, sure tacklers." The Blue Hens averaged 4.8 yds per carry and got 257 ground yds. against Lafayette. Lots of luck trying to run against the Villanova defense.

Delaware has a good, tough, physical O line

Agree Uncle Ed. They really did a good job against our defensive line. Thank God the Cats were able to pull this game out at the end.
