FCS Bracketology - Pt. 8

After that loss, the Hens deserve to be dropped that far back.  Maine now gets in on the action as they also receive a play-in round game.  James Madison sits in the 7-seed, and New Hampshire is 9th, giving the CAA four tournament teams, but only two in the top 12.

Keeler Monday (URI Week)

Losing to UMass left tons of questions that Coach Keeler is going to need to answer this week.  His call to the CAAtc started off with the wind. Coach had debated on whether or not they wanted the wind right away and after he turned it down, it was a big help to his opponent in getting them off to a fast start. He talked about how it was a similar formula as to why they lost to Maine, with big plays being their downfall.  Keeler said that Sasek was not far enough along as to why he did not relieve Donnelly earier in the game.

Post-Game - UMass 21, Delaware 10

Disgusting game by the Hens today.   Not too much extra to add here because the game pretty much spoke for itself:

• Pros & Cons - TV game is always a bonus... but the downside is the awful announcing by the CSN crew.  I would take the effort sync the radio feed with the TV, but it is much harder than it sounds and I also started watching late so
• Delaware starts the game at their own 33, but right off the bat Donnelly is called for intentional grounding, which really backs the Hens up, and a few weak run plays later, Delaware is forced to punt.
• RIght off the bat, Pagel hits a receiver with a huge pass and it's 1st-&-goal for the Minutemen.  A big 3rd down play by Hernandez punched it home and UMass takes the early 7-0 lead with 12:00 remaining in the quarter.

GAMEDAY - Delaware vs. UMass

Delaware's shut out of William & Mary last week has this team riding high.  UMass plays very similarly to the Tribe, and it should be fun to see if the Hens can play such a sound defensive game for a second straight week.  Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30PM.  All of the game notes and the flipcard are available after the jump:

Preview - UD Football vs. UMass

Big victory for the Hens last weekend over the Tribe.  Now the Minutemen come in with a similar offense.  Will the game go the same way for the Hens this week or will UMass come to play and challenge the Hens this week?  Here are the quick hits for both teams and some of the facts about what is probably the last time these two teams ever face each other.
