Coach Porter's Notes
DL not overly strong, injuries in the DT rotation. Will have to attack the middle of the DL, especially late.
SAM C. Holloway (#42) is the leader of the front seven, we will need to be mindful of him on every run play.
Good secondary led by CB E. Allen (#7) who is always around the ball.
This is just another game for me, I literally do not care that it is my old team.

Looks like a serial killer. Has no emotions like a serial killer.

If bodies start popping up in Delaware, Coach Porter is suspect numero uno

Pushing the record to 10-0 :aura:

Hell of a first year in the FBS for Delaware!
Those recruiting losses sting a bit though…you really need to keep a consistent flow in - though having a 4-star already committed does lessen the sting

Coach Porter's Notes
Despite the injuries along their DL it is a deep unit and the players they have out there will be as good or better than what we have seen thus far. DE Williams (#18) will need to be our focus.
Easily the best LB group we have faced. MIKE Hazel (#24) is the leader of the defense and he is always around the ball. He will know our playbook.
Top CB Webb is out but again, this will be the best secondary we have faced. Find Anderson (#45) on every play or he will make us pay.
Way too many turnovers these past two games, we won't get away with them against this team.
