Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens
Overall Rank: #31
#7 CAA
At the end of September, Delaware looked like a team that could return to the playoffs in 2019. They were 3-2 and just coming off a 17-14 loss at Pittsburgh. The other defeat came at the hands of North Dakota State. But then things did not go well in CAA play. There were some close losses against decent teams, but the Blue Hens won just two more games after that 3-2 start. The Colonial Athletic Association will not play this fall, but Delaware should see improvement from 2019 when they next take the field.
