As the Delaware Blue Hens began the season, they found themselves ranked No. 19 in both the Stats Perform and AFCA Coaches National FCS Polls. That doesn’t mean much when you open up on the road against a storied FBS program. Saturday marked Delaware’s 34th all-time matchup as an FCS program against an FBS opponent. Nevertheless, Ryan Carty began his tenure as the Blue Hens head coach with a victory.
Delaware won a nail biter against Navy on Saturday afternoon by a score of 14-8. Delaware QB, Nolan Henderson, a senior and Smyrna product, finished 20 of 32 for 189 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
