Preview - UD Football vs. William & Mary

This was suppose to be the first real test for the Blue Hens.  The Tribe, picked to finish at the top of the conference, are coming in to Newark to face a Delaware team still searching for answers.  It appears that there will be no quarterback controversy and Donnelly will get another chance under center, though another turnover-heavy afternoon could change that.  This will be a short preview, but don't be fooled because this is a HUGE game for both sides.  Here's a quick rundown for both teams:
