It was the first season at the helm for Ryan Carty, a former Blue Hen quarterback who returned to the program as the head coach after four seasons as KC Keeler’s offensive coordinator at Sam Houston State. It was a solid first season for Carty, who led Delaware to an 8-5 record and an FCS playoff berth, falling to the eventual champions South Dakota State 42-6 in the second round.
