Christine Rawak was named the University of Delaware’s director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recre-
ation Services on May 13, 2016.
In this role, Rawak leads the University of Delaware’s intercollegiate athletics program consisting of 21
Division I men’s and women’s sports and the University’s recreation services, which offers intramural sports,
club sports, and fitness opportunities to all students. Rawak is the sixth director of Athletics at Delaware since
the position was established in 1940.
Rawak’s first year at the University of Delaware was nothing short of remarkable as Blue Hen stu-
dent-athletes, teams, and coaches enjoyed impressive success stories not only on the playing field, but in
the classroom and in the community as well.
Delaware intercollegiate teams captured four Colonial Athletic Association championships (field hockey,
men’s soccer, women’s golf, baseball) – the second highest total among all league members – and the field
hockey squad reached the pinnacle of the sport by winning its first NCAA Division I national championship
title in November.
Individually, four student-athletes earned All-American honors, 26 were named All-Region, four were
named CAA Player of the Year, three were selected CAA Rookie of the Year, and four head coaches were
named CAA Coach of the Year, including Rolf van de Kerkhof, who was selected as the national field hockey
coach of the year. In addition, field hockey standout Greta Nauck won the Honda Award as the nation’s top
performer in that sport.
Delaware student-athletes also stood out with their incredible commitment in the classroom. During the
2016 fall semester, Delaware’s 600+ student-athletes posted a combined grade point average of 3.108,
setting an all-time school record for the second straight semester. UD student-athletes have now surpassed
the 3.0 mark each of the last six semesters.
Of the 21 Blue Hen athletics teams, 17 of them had a team cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or
higher and 13 of the squads surpassed the 3.2 mark.
A total of 242 student-athletes, 43 percent of the Delaware’s total, earned Dean’s List honors, breaking
the previous record of 209 set during the spring semester in 2016. An impressive 30 student-athletes
recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA for the fall semester while 174 surpassed the 3.5 mark and 317 - more than
half of the school’s student-athletes - recorded a 3.0 mark. Nearly 300 student-athletes were recognized on
the CAA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll.
Before her arrival at Delaware, Rawak spent more than a decade in athletics at the University of Michi-
gan, where she most recently oversaw external relations and strategic initiatives while serving as executive
senior associate athletic director. While there, she launched the first comprehensive athletics fundraising
campaign raising more than $316 million as of June, 2016. She personally
raised more than $170 million, including securing an unprecedented $100
million gift.
Prior to assuming her most recent role at Michigan, Rawak spent seven
years in Michigan’s Office of University Development as the assistant vice
president of talent management and development operations.
From 1998-2004, she worked as director of personnel and business re-
sources in the Office of Alumni Relations and Development at Northwestern
University while earning a master’s degree in communication from North-
western. As a student at the University of Michigan, Rawak was a member
of the varsity swimming & diving team and student government president
before earning her bachelor’s degree in sports management and commu-
nications in 1992. A native of Newtown, Pa., she is married to Glenn Hill, a
former gymnast at the University of Michigan, and they are the parents of
Blake, Evelyn, and Grace.

tradition of Delaware Football and I am highly motivated to return Delaware to its winning ways and to a
position of national prominence.”
A native of Huntingdon, Pa. and a 1984 graduate of Wake Forest University, Rocco inherits a program
that has won six national championships, finished as national runner-up five times, made 20 NCAA Tourna-
ment appearances, and captured 16 conference championships.
Rocco transformed the Spiders back into a national power during his five-year tenure. He inherited a
team that went 3-8 in 2011 and led the 2012 squad to a five-win turnaround with an 8-3 overall record
and a share of the CAA title.
He went on to lead Richmond to a five-year record of 43-22 that included three consecutive NCAA Tour-
nament appearances, including a berth in the semifinals in 2015 and a trip to the quarterfinals this past
season.
He was named the Touchdown Club of Richmond Coach of the Year in both 2012 and 2015 and was a
finalist for the FCS Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year award both of those seasons.
During his 11 seasons as a head coach (five at Richmond, six at Liberty), he has been a National Coach
of the Year Finalist five times, and has won six conference championships and four conference Coach of
the Year honors.
He has coached 156 all-conference honorees and
30 student-athletes who garnered All-American hon-
ors, including four Richmond players in 2015 - Brian
Brown, Jacobi Green, David Jones and Nick Ritcher;
and three in 2016 - Brown, Griffin Trau, and Winston
Craig.
Twelve different players under Rocco’s tutelage
have gone on to earn professional contracts and his
teams have finished in the final FCS Top-25 poll in
eight of the past nine seasons, including finishing No.
3 in 2015 and No. 12 last season.
During his time with the Spiders, Richmond de-
feated 14 nationally-ranked opponents, including
a victory over then-No.3 James Madison during the
2015 season when ESPN’s College GameDay was in
Harrisonburg, Va.
Rocco becomes only the third man in Colonial Ath-
letic Association Football (formerly Yankee Conference
and Atlantic 10 Conference) history to serve as head
coach at two different institutions. Jim Reid coached
at former CAA member Massachusetts in 1986-91
before moving on to serve as head coach at Rich-
mond in 1995-2003. Current University of Michigan
defensive coordinator Don Brown was head coach at
Northeastern in 2000-03 before moving over to UMa-
ss in 2004-08.
At Liberty, Rocco made an immediate impact,
taking over a program that had gone 1-10 in 2005
and building the Flames into a Big South Conference
power. He led his first team to a 6-5 record (the larg-
est turnaround of any FCS program that season) and
guided the squad to Big South Conference Champion-
ship four times in six seasons.
He posted an overall record of 47-20 (26-5 in league play) and was named Big South Coach of the Year
four times. He would go on to be named a finalist for the national Eddie Robinson Award and Liberty Mutual
Coach of the Year Award in each of the final three seasons in Lynchburg. Liberty finished the last four years
ranked inside the Top 25 in both major FCS polls.
Before becoming a head coach, Rocco spent 23 seasons at the NCAA Division I Bowl Subdivision (FBS)
and National Football League levels.
Prior to his arrival at Liberty, Rocco spent the previous five seasons at Virginia. He was a part of four
consecutive bowl appearances for the Cavaliers, including back-to-back Continental Tire Bowl victories in
2002 and 2003. During his time in Charlottesville, UVA piled up 37 wins with Rocco serving as the associate
University of Delaware Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Chrissi Rawak announced on Dec.
14, 2016 that Danny Rocco, who enjoyed outstanding success at NCAA Division I FCS members Liberty
University and University of Richmond over the last decade, was selected to lead the Blue Hens as head
football coach.
Rocco was introduced at a welcome celebration in front of a jam-packed Bob Carpenter Center Audito-
rium crowd that included University administrators, athletics staff, members of the Blue Hen football team,
fans, and supporters.
Rocco, 56, who led the University of Richmond to
back-to-back 10-win seasons and three consecutive
NCAA Tournament appearances, becomes just the
23rd head coach in Delaware’s 125-season history
and just the sixth head coach since 1940.
“I’m thrilled that Danny Rocco will be the new
head coach for the Fightin’ Blue Hens,” said UD Pres-
ident Dennis Assanis. “Like all of us at UD, Danny is
committed to excellence in everything he does. He
brings significant coaching experience at both the
collegiate and professional level. Most importantly,
Danny is dedicated to the success of our student-ath-
letes, both on the field and in the classroom. We
know he will build a powerful team of players and
coaches and take UD Football into a strong and win-
ning future.”
“We welcome Coach Rocco and his family to our
Blue Hen Football family,” said Rawak. “This is an
exciting day for the University of Delaware, our foot-
ball program, our student-athletes, and everyone
who loves and supports Blue Hen football. During
our search we wanted to find someone who had
demonstrated outstanding success not only on the
field but in building young men as leaders, citizens,
and achievers. In Coach Rocco we found the perfect
fit and someone who is committed to excellence in
every area. We are excited to see the direction he
takes us under his leadership. His impact will be felt
immediately.”
A veteran of 33 seasons as a football coach,
including the last 11 as a head coach at the NCAA
Division I FCS level, Rocco has found nothing but suc-
cess. He has never posted a losing season and owns a career record of 90-42 (.682), including a 10-4 mark
last fall when Richmond went 5-3 in Colonial Athletic Association and advanced to the NCAA Tournament
for the third straight year.
The No. 12 ranked Spiders defeated No. 17 North Carolina A&T 39-10 in the opening round and rallied
to down No. 8 North Dakota 27-24 on the road in the second round before falling at No. 3 Eastern Wash-
ington in the quarterfinals.
“It is with great enthusiasm that I accept the head football coaching position at the University of Del-
aware,” said Rocco. “I am very excited to take on this challenge, recognizing that I have full and total
support from President Assanis and AD Chrissi Rawak. I have always had an appreciation for the history and

competed in the 1979 Liberty Bowl and the 1980 Fiesta Bowl before transferring to Wake Forest. While in
Winston-Salem, he was a two-year starter and senior captain for Groh.
He was no stranger to coaching after growing up in a football family. His father, Frank Rocco, Sr., served
as an assistant coach at Penn State before joining the Liberty staff in 2000. Frank Rocco, Jr., also joined
the Flames staff in 2000 as a wide receivers and quarterbacks coach and received a promotion to offensive
coordinator prior to his departure in 2003. Frank, and brother, Dave, are both currently coaching at the

Danny Rocco Head Coaching Career
DELAWARE FOOTBALL
What Others are Saying About Danny Rocco
University of Delaware President Dr. Dennis Assanis“I’m thrilled that Danny Rocco will be the new head coach for the Fightin’ Blue Hens. Like all of us at UD, Danny is committed to excellence
in everything he does. He brings significant coaching experience at both the collegiate and professional level. Most importantly, Danny is
dedicated to the success of our student-athletes, both on the field and in the classroom. We know he will build a powerful team of players
and coaches and take UD Football into a strong and winning future.”
University of Delaware Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Chrissi Rawak“We welcome Coach Rocco and his family to our Blue Hen Football family. This is an exciting day for the University of Delaware, our
football program, our student-athletes, and everyone who loves and supports Blue Hen football. During our search we wanted to find
someone who had demonstrated outstanding success not only on the field but in building young men as leaders, citizens, and achievers.
In Coach Rocco we found the perfect fit and someone who is committed to excellence in every area. We are excited to see the direction
he takes us under his leadership. His impact will be felt immediately.”
UD Athletics Hall of Famer; Former NFL Most Valuable Player; and current CBS TV NFL Analyst Rich Gannon“I am excited for the future of Delaware Football as AD Chrissi Rawak has hired a winner in Danny Rocco. Coach Rocco is a man of great
character and integrity and he will bring tremendous leadership and toughness to our program. As an assistant, he was fortunate to work
under some of the best coaches in the business, coaches like Bill McCartney, Al Groh, and Tom Coughlin. As a head coach, he took over
a Liberty team that went 1-10 the year before he arrived and he quickly turned them into a winner in the Big South Conference. He did
the same at Richmond, qualifying for the FCS playoffs in each of the last three seasons. I am convinced that Coach Rocco will continue to
build on the great tradition and legacy of Delaware Football!”
UD Athletics Hall of Famer; Former NFL Quarterback Scott Brunner“Danny Rocco is a proven leader and Delaware is lucky to have someone with his pedigree, character, and passion to be our next head
coach. I had the opportunity to meet Coach Rocco and came away extremely impressed with his vision of the current state of college
football and his understanding of how to build a winning program. He will recruit the best athletes and coaches, he will prepare them
meticulously, and he will inspire all around him to maximize their ability. I can assure everyone that Danny Rocco has earned the utmost
respect from some of the most renowned professionals at the highest levels of football. I would like to welcome Coach Rocco, his wife,
Julie, and children, Amy and David to the Delaware family. Go Hens.”
Colonial Athletic Association Commissioner Joe D’Antonio“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with and getting to know Coach Rocco. He is a very good football coach, but an even better person.
I wish Danny nothing but the best as he transitions into his new role at Delaware, and I look forward to continuing to work with him to
grow the CAA Football brand.”
Former New York Giants Head Coach and Super Bowl Champion Tom Coughlin“When he was with me at Boston College, he was an outstanding young football coach, and he had his blinders on from Day One: Family,
Religion and Football. He has great people skills, and as a result, has always been an outstanding recruiter and football coach, and the
players enjoy playing for him.”

Chris Cosh, who has worked with some of the biggest names in college football history and served as a
defensive coordinator for 18 of his 32 seasons as a coach, was named the University of Delaware defensive
coordinator on Jan. 5, 2017.
A native of Hillcrest Heights, Md. and a 1984 graduate of Virginia Tech, Cosh will also serve as the Blue
Hens’ defensive backs coach.
He joins head coach Danny Rocco at Delaware after serving as Rocco’s defensive coordinator last season
at the University of Richmond when the Spiders went 10-4 and advanced to the NCAA playoffs for the third
straight year, earning a berth in the national quarterfinals.
As defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Richmond in 2016, he guided the Spiders defense
to Colonial Athletic Association top five rankings in passing defense (No. 2 at 170.2 yards per game), total
defense (No. 3/317.0), scoring defense (No. 5/23.4 points per game), and rushing defense (No. 5/146.8
ypg).
Nationally, the Spiders ranked No. 8 in NCAA FCS in passing yards allowed, No. 11 in total defense, and
No. 32 in scoring defense. Four members of the defensive unit – DT Winston Craig, LB Omar Howard, DL
Brandon Waller, and Brendan Coniker earned All-CAA honors.
Cosh’s expansive career includes stints in five of the six BCS conferences (Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Big 12, and
Big East) and he has served as defensive coordinator at eight FBS schools, including University of Illinois
(1996), Michigan State University (1998), University of South Carolina (2003), University of Maryland
(2006-08), Kansas State University (2009-11), University of South Florida (2012), University at Buffalo
(2013-14), and University of North Texas (2015).
Among the coaches he has worked with over the years include Nick Saban, Lou Holtz, Bill Snyder, and
Ralph Friedgen. His college coach at Virginia Tech was Bill Dooley.
Among his higlights are leading Kansas State to a Cotton Bowl appearance in 2011 as part of a defense
that ranked in the national top 40 twice, had six All-Big 12 performers, including Big 12 Defensive Player
of the Year Arthur Brown, and two All-Americans.
Prior to his time at Kansas State, he served as the defensive coordinator at Maryland for three seasons,
twice ranking in the top-40 defensively. He tutored six All-ACC performers, including Dre Moore, who was
a fourth-round draft choice in the 2008 NFL Draft, and Josh Wilson, who was taken in the second round in
the 2007 NFL Draft.
Prior to his stint at Maryland, Cosh made his first stop at Kansas State for two seasons, 2004-05, under
head coach Bill Snyder as linebackers coach. The Wildcat defense ranked 30th nationally in 2005. Junior
linebacker Brandon Archer was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection in 2005, an accolade which came
a year after Cosh helped coach the newcomer to second-team honors in his first year as a starter.
In the five years prior to his first stop in Manhattan, Cosh served under Holtz as linebackers coach
(1999-2002) and defensive coordinator (2003) at South Carolina.
While at South Carolina, he helped produce some of the Southeastern Conference’s top linebackers,
including Kalimba Edwards (two-time first team all-league, Butkus and Lombardi Awards finalist in 2001).
His resume as a position coach also includes tutoring New York Jets’ first-round pick and Pro Bowler John
Abraham (1999) and freshman All-American Lance Laury (2002). During his time in Columbia, S.C., the
Gamecocks won back-to-back bowl games for the first time in school history.
In addition to serving under coaching legends Bill Snyder and Holtz, Cosh was the defensive coordinator
at Michigan State under current Alabama head coach Nick Saban. In his lone season (1998) in East Lansing,
Mich., the Spartans upset No. 1 Ohio State and knocked off Notre Dame. Cosh’s unit helped spark those wins
with the 10th-ranked pass defense in the nation.
A former linebacker who earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Virginia Tech in 1984,
Cosh got his start coaching in Blacksburg, Va., where he was a student assistant during the 1983 season.
He then made five different stops (Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Southeast Missouri State, UNLV and two tours at
Minnesota) before settling in at Illinois.

championship and a Super Bowl.
During his most recent tenure at Buffalo, Bulls offensive players flourished under his tutelage. Simon
coached All-Mid American Conference running back Branden Oliver, who ran for a school-record 1,535
yards and became just the 13th player in MAC history to surpass the 4,000-yard mark with a school record
total of 4,409.
In 2015, Anthone Taylor (829) and Jordan Johnson (811) became the first running back tandem in

yards - the second-highest single-season total in school history - and earned second-team All-MAC honors.
In 2013, the Bulls rushed for 2,176 yards - the third most in school history for a single season. Buffalo
ranked in the top three in the MAC in scoring (32.3), total offense (438.2), and rushing offense (178.6) in
2014 and was fifth in scoring (30.2) and total offense (394.7) in 2013 when the Bulls went 8-5 and earned
a second place finish in the MAC East Division.
Simon began his coaching career at the University of Washington, serving under head coach Don James

his first year led the Mean Green to the Southland Conference title and an NCAA I-AA playoff berth. He was
named the Southland Conference and AFCA Region 4 Coach of the Year.
After one season with the Denver Broncos in 1998, Simon was named running backs coach with the
Baltimore Ravens, where he contributed to tremendous success by the franchise, including helping the
Ravens earn a Super Bowl title in 2000. He also helped lead Baltimore to playoff berths in 2001 and 2003,
when the Ravens claimed their first AFC North title.
With Baltimore he coached Pro Bowler Jamal Lewis, who in 2003 under Simon’s tutelage, posted the
second-highest rushing total in NFL history when he rushed for 2,066 yards and 14 touchdowns.
His success with running backs continued when he spent the 2007-08 seasons with the San Diego Char-
gers. He helped lead LaDainian Tomlinson to his second NFL rushing title and also tutored Pro Bowl fullback
Lorenzo Neal and Darren Sproles.
He also spent time as a professional football consultant and head coach at Gilmour Academy in Gates
Mills, Ohio. He has worked with several players to prepare them for the Senior Bowl, NFL Combine and NFL
Draft, including Detroit Lions 2010 first-round selection Jahvid Best.

Eddie Allen, who previously served as special teams coordinator and running backs coach at the Universi-
ty of Rhode Island for six years, was named special teams coordinator and tight ends coach at the University
of Delaware in March, 2014.
He served as special teams coordinator for the Blue Hens in 2016 and was retained on new head coach
Danny Rocco’s staff for 2017. He will continue to serve as special teams coordinator and also lead the Blue
Hen running backs.
Allen enjoyed an outstanding first season at UD in 2014 and played a key role in the development of
a standout special teams unit and mentored All-American tight end and Baltimore Ravens draft pick Nick
Boyle and All-American punter Eric Enderson. Delaware led the Colonial Athletic Association and ranked No.
7 in NCAA FCS in both net punting (38.5) and kickoff coverage (16.8).
During his second season in 2015, Enderson once again ranked among the nations’ top punters and Del-
aware ranked in the top four in the CAA in net punting, kickoff returns, and punt return defense. Delaware

per return. In 2010, under the direction of Allen, URI ranked in the CAA’s top five in four special teams
categories and held the league’s top kickoff return average (23.8).
Among the highlights was a blocked punt that was returned for the game-winning score over 2009
defending champion Villanova. In 2009, Rhode Island punter Tim Edger led the CAA in punting with a 41.5-

and All-CAA honors during his tenure and the Spiders have established numerous school records on offense.
The Spiders allowed just five sacks for the entire season in 2012 in McCorkle’s first year on the staff to
rank third in the nation; the 2013 squad set nearly every school passing record; the 2014 teams ranked
No. 11 and No. 1 in the CAA in fewest sacks allowed; and the 2015 and 2016 units each ranked No. 2 in
the CAA in scoring and total offense.
Under his direction, Thomas Evans earned first team All-CAA honors in 2016 and second team laurels
in 2015; Nicholas Vergas earned second team honors in both 2015 and 2016; Nick Ritcher was a first team
All-CAA pick and All-American in 2015; Austin Gund earned All-CAA honors in both 2013 and 2014 and was
an All-American as a senior; Jacob Ruby was a third team pick in 2014.
In 2011, McCorkle coached left guard Malcolm Boyd, who was named to the Associated Press third-team
All-America squad. Liberty led the Big South in passing yards and pass efficiency and finished second in
scoring offense and total yards, averaging 35.9 points per game and 426.5 yards per game. The Flames
were eighth in the nation in scoring and No. 20 in total offense.
In 2010, McCorkle had three players earn Big South all-conference honors, including first-team acco-
lades for Alex Stadler and Justin Vargas. His group helped block for the nation’s leading offensive threat,
quarterback Mike Brown, who finished No. 1 in the country in total offense (346.36 yards per game).
Statistically Liberty’s offensive line flourished, as the Flames’ five-man front finished No. 5 nationally
in fewest sacks allowed (0.64 per game) and fewest tackles for a loss allowed (4.18 per game), while the
Flames ended the year No. 2 in the nation in total offense (459.91 yards per game).

In 2013, Polin and his tight ends corps helped the Richmond offense set nearly every single school
passing record. In total, the offense set six single-game, eight season and one career passing mark.
Coaching tight ends in 2012, the Richmond tight ends were as formidable a group as there was in the
conference. Led by All-American Kevin Finney, the group proved to be a vital asset for a team that ranked
20th in the nation in passing offense and third in sacks allowed.
Since joining the staff, Polin has coached a talented unit of offensive linemen that has garnered five
All-CAA honors and 12 different All-America awards. That list was headlined by Matt McCracken, a two-time
first team All-CAA pick and a consensus first team All-America in 2009.
Prior to Richmond, Polin coached at NCAA II Stonehill College in Easton, Mass. where he served as the
offensive coordinator in 2007. Prior to his position at Stonehill, Polin served as the running backs coach
at Hofstra.
Building an impressive coaching resume, Polin started his career with NCAA III Middlebury as the tight
ends coach. While at Middlebury, he served under head coach Mickey Heinecken, a former University of Del-
aware All-American player, football assistant coach, and recent inductee into the UD Athletics Hall of Fame.
Following his stint at Middlebury he served as tight ends coach at Dartmouth and later at Virginia for two
seasons as a graduate assistant from 2004-05.
In 2005, following the departure of four assistant coaches from the UVa staff prior to the Gaylord Hotels
Music City Bowl, Polin coached the offensive line in a 34-31 win over Minnesota.
Polin and his wife, Celia, were married in July 2008 and have a daughter, Marianna, and son, William.
The Flames finished the 2009 campaign ranked No. 1 in the country among FCS programs by averaging
36.36 points per game. The Flames rushed for 31 touchdowns, a mark only three other FCS programs
bested in 2009. Liberty also ranked No. 2 in red zone efficiency (92 percent), No. 22 in fewest tackles for
a loss allowed (4.82 per game) and No. 25 in fewest sacks allowed (1.36 per game).
Four of McCorkle’s five starters on his 2009 offensive line earned Big South all-conference honors.
Seniors Bryan Mosier and Josh Weaver each were named to the Big South first-team listing, while senior
Mario Cosby and junior Alex Stadler took home second-team accolades.
McCorkle first arrived at Liberty as an offensive line coach in 2005, followed by a one-year stay with the
program in 2007 as a strength coach and offensive line assistant.
During the 2007 campaign, Liberty set a program standard by scoring 469 points, while ranking No.
3 nationally in scoring offense (42.6 points per game). Liberty’s offensive line paved the way for a pro-
gram-best 32 rushing touchdowns, en route to the Flames’ first of fourth-straight Big South titles.
McCorkle worked with Stephen Sene, helping the left tackle garner Big South first-team all-conference
honors, a trip to the Hula Bowl and a free agent contract with the New England Patriots.
McCorkle served in his inaugural coaching post at Liberty in 2005, coaching Liberty’s offensive line.
Sandwiched in between a pair of coaching runs with the Flames, McCorkle served as offensive tackles
and tight ends coach at Chattanooga in 2006, spotlighted by a home victory over perennial Southern
Conference powerhouse Georgia Southern.
McCorkle got his coaching start fresh out of college, serving as a student assistant at his alma mater,
LSU, in 1999. While with the Tigers, he helped with the offensive linemen and coordinated the defensive
and special teams scout units.
He got his first full-time coaching position at UT-Martin, where he served for three years (2000-02).
During his first season with the Skyhawks, McCorkle coached UT-Martin’s wide receivers, while working as
the offensive line and tight ends coach in 2001 and 2002.
During the 2003 and 2004 campaigns, McCorkle was the offensive line coach at the University of the
South. His last collegiate position before he joined the Flames coaching staff in 2009 was at Tennessee Tech,
where he served as the offensive line coach for the Golden Eagles in 2008.
McCorkle was a four-year letterwinner at LSU, helping the Tigers to the 1995 and 1997 Independence
Bowl titles and a trip the 1996 Peach Bowl. McCorkle, a long snapper, helped LSU capture the SEC West title
in 1996 and 1997.
McCorkle has three daughters, Gracie, Emma and Audrey, and a son, Sammy. His father played college
football at Livingston University and two of his cousins also played college football at Florida and East
Tennessee State.
Levern Belin, who has worked closely alongside new University of Delaware football head coach Danny
Rocco during stops at the University of Virginia, Liberty University, and the University of Richmond over the
last decade, was named defensive line coach for the Blue Hens in January, 2017.
Belin is a veteran of 25 seasons as a collegiate coach - 23 of them leading defensive line units - and most
recently spent five seasons at Richmond with Rocco, helping the Spiders advance to the NCAA playoffs three
times, including a berth in the quarterfinals in 2016.
A native of Marshville, N.C., Belin has served with Rocco for the last eight seasons, including five at
Richmond and three at Liberty (2009-11), where Rocco served as head coach before moving on to Rich-
mond. The two were also on the same coaching staff at Boston College in 1991, at Maryland in 1999, and
at Virginia in 2005. All told, the two have coached together for 11 seasons.
Belin’s defensive line unit played a big role in Richmond’s success over the last five years as the Spiders
posted an overall record of 43-22 (.661), went 26-14 (.650) in Colonial Athletic Association play, advanced

to the NCAA Tournament three times, and won two CAA titles under Rocco. Richmond went 10-4 and ad-
vanced to the NCAA semifinals in 2015 and followed with another 10-4 mark and a trip to the quarterfinals
this past fall.
Under Belin’s guidance, the Spiders have had eight different defensive lineman earn All-CAA accolades,
most notably Winston Craig, who earned All-American honors in 2016 after posting 7.5 sacks; Kerry Wynn,
who closed out his career in 2013 and now plays for the New York Giants; and Andrew Clyde, who had six
sacks in 2015.
With Belin’s help, the Spiders’ defensive line has put constant pressure on the opponents, helping Rich-
mond lead the conference in turnover margin four times over the last five seasons.
Prior to joining Rocco in Richmond, Belin spent three seasons with him at Liberty, serving as the defen-
sive line coach for the Flames. His impact was an immediate one, guiding Liberty to one of the best defensive
programs in the country. During his three seasons in Lynchburg, Liberty won two Big South titles and the
defense ranked among the top 25 nationally.
Prior to Liberty, Belin spent the previous four years as defensive line coach at NCAA FBS member Vir-
ginia beginning in 2005. After his first year with the Cavaliers, Belin was promoted to defensive assistant/
defensive line coach, spotlighted by his coaching of consensus All-America honoree Chris Long. Long was
the 2007 Ted Hendricks Award winner as the nation’s top defensive end and was the second overall pick
in the 2008 NFL Draft.
In 2007, Virginia ranked No. 23 in the nation in total defense (332.46 yards allowed per game) and No.
16 in scoring defense (19.69 points allowed per game). During the 2006 campaign, the Cavaliers held their
opponents to 289.5 yards per contest, the best figure for Virginia in 27 years. He also coached freshman
All-American Jeffrey Fitzgerald.
Prior to his days in Charlottesville, Va., Belin served on the Northern Illinois coaching staff in 2004, as
a defensive interior line coach. During his one year with the Huskies, he helped Northern Illinois to a share
of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) title.
Belin brings both NCAA FBS and FCS coaching experience to the Blue Hen coaching staff, as he was
linebackers coach for a year at East Tennessee State (1993) and mentored the linebackers and defensive
line for three seasons at CAA foe William & Mary (2001-03), helping the Tribe advance to the 2001 NCAA
playoffs.
Belin began his college coaching experience as a 1991 graduate assistant at Boston College before
moving across town for his first full-time job at Boston University as a defensive line coach in 1992.
During five seasons at Ball State (1994-98), Belin helped instruct one of the top rushing defenses in the
Mid-American Conference. He began his tenure with the Cardinals as an outside linebacker coach, before
closing out his stay as a four-year defensive end coach. During the 1997 season, Ball State led the league
and ranked No. 34 nationally in fewest yards allowed. While at Ball State, Belin coached Keith McKenzie,
an eight-year NFL defensive end.

Manny Rojas, who played for Danny Rocco at Liberty University and served under him as an assistant
coach at both Liberty and the University of Richmond, joined the University of Delaware staff as linebackers
coach on Jan. 5, 2017.
He served the last five seasons as linebackers coach at Richmond after serving for two years as a
defensive and special teams assistant under Rocco at Liberty.
During his 11 seasons as a college coach and player, he has been a part of six conference championships
and three NCAA playoff appearances.
Much of Richmond’s success during its recent three-year NCAA playoff run can be attributed to the play
of the defensive unit, particularly from the linebacker corps. Rojas helped guide the Spiders defense to Colo-
nial Athletic Association top five rankings in passing defense (No. 2 at 170.2 yards per game), total defense
(No. 3/317.0 yards per game), scoring defense (No. 5/23.4 points per game), and rushing defense (No.
5/146.8 yards per game) in 2016.
Since the 2013 season Richmond linebackers have earned numerous All-CAA honors with Omar Howard
earning first team honors in 2016; Eric Wright earned All-CAA laurels three straight years; and Aaron Roane
being honored in both 2013 and 2014.
In 2012, Rojas helped a pair of Spider linebackers earn All-CAA recognition - the first time that had
happened since the 2009 season. Darius McMillan and Wright earned the accolades, but the whole unit was
fantastic, helping Richmond lead the country in turnover margin at +22.
During Rojas’ first full season on the coaching staff in 2010, Liberty continued to excel on the defensive
side of the ball. The Flames ranked No. 24 nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 20.18 points per
game, which also led the Big South by more than five points per game. That marked the fourth year in a
row Liberty was ranked nationally in the FCS Top 25 in scoring defense.

INSIDE LINEBACKERS
The Flames also finished the 2010 season ranked No. 17 in the country in total defense, allowing just
309.18 yards per game. The Flames run defense, which ranked No. 20 in the country, set a program stan-
dard by allowing just 1,273 total rushing yards. In 2011, the Flames led the Big South in scoring defense
(22 ppg) and were second in total defense (343.3 ypg).
After concluding a stellar four-year career for the Flames, Rojas remained close to the program, working
within the Athletics Department as a member of the strength and conditioning staff.
Rojas was a dominating force for the Flames on the field, finishing his career with 348 stops. As a senior,
he led the squad with 102 tackles, making him one of only three Flames’ defenders during the last eleven
seasons to crack the 100-tackle mark in a year.
A two-time Big South all-conference performer, Rojas still currently ranks No. 3 in the conference record
books for career tackles, No. 3 in assisted stops (208), No. 3 in forced fumbles (7) and No. 8 in solo tackles
(140).
Rojas’ senior season marked a dramatic change in the culture that surrounded Liberty football, as the
2006 campaign under Rocco.
After finishing the prior season with a 1-10 record, Rojas played a key role, both statistically and as
an emotional team captain, helping the 2006 squad post a 6-5 record. The five-win improvement over the
previous season marked the best turnaround in all of NCAA FCS football for the 2006 season.
A large part of Liberty’s five-win improvement was due to the Flames defensive efforts. In 2006, Liberty
set a new program standard by allowing just 172 total points and the Flames finished the year ranked No.
12 in scoring defense (15.6 points per game).
Along with the new program record for points allowed, Liberty set seven other defensive records in
2006, including a new standard for shutouts, as Liberty blanked three opponents. The Flames also knocked
off No. 24 Charleston Southern, 34-20, in their season finale, marking the first Top 25 program Liberty
had defeated in a decade.
Rojas came to Liberty following a standout career at West Allegheny High School in Imperial, Pa. He
was a three-year starter for the Indians, where he earned first team all-conference and All-State honors.
As a senior, he helped lead West Allegheny to the AAA state championship and was a member of the
Pennsylvania Big 33 squad. He was also named to the “Fabulous 22” Pittsburgh Post Gazette squad and the
Metro Index Scouting Service Top 50 of Western Pennsylvania.
A native of Oakdale, Pa., Rojas graduated from Liberty in 2007 with a bachelor of science degree in
communication studies with an advertising and public relations concentration.
He and his wife, Deanna, have a son, Aiden.

coach, the same positions he oversaw while at Richmond.
Richmond advanced to the NCAA playoffs each of Sintim’s two seasons, including a national semifinal
berth in 2015 and a trip to the quarterfinals last season. Both teams won 10 games during the season.
During the 2016 campaign, Sintim helped guide the Spiders defense to Colonial Athletic Association top
five rankings in passing defense (No. 2 at 170.2 yards per game), total defense (No. 3/317.0 yards per
game), scoring defense (No. 5/23.4 points per game), and rushing defense (No. 5/146.8 yards per game)

DELAWARE FOOTBALL
CAA Football has established itself as one of the nation’s premier FCS power conferences over the past decade due to its on-field success, broadcast exposure, marketability and the achievements of its student-ath-letes in the classroom, in the community and at the next level.
James Madison capped an outstanding 2016 season for the conference by capturing the league’s sixth FCS national title with a 28-14 victory over Youngstown State. CAA Football sent four programs to the NCAA Divi-sion I Football Championship for the third straight season and each of them won at least one playoff game. In addition to the Dukes’ national title, New Hampshire extended the nation’s longest FCS playoff streak
with its 13 straight appearance, Richmond advanced to the FCS quarterfinals for the second year in a row and Villanova earned a playoff berth for the sixth time in nine years.
CAA Football continued its success against non-conference oppo-nents in 2016, finishing 24-7 against FCS foes and 27-18 overall. The mark was the best of any FCS conference. The league posted a pair of victories over FBS competition for the first time since 2013 as Richmond knocked off ACC member Virginia, 37-20, and UAlbany defeated Buffalo, 22-16. CAA Football teams have now recorded 34 wins over FBS opponents in its history.
A strong presence in the national rankings remained another constant for CAA Football in 2016. James Madison finished the year as the unanimous #1 team in the country, while Richmond, Villanova and New Hampshire were also ranked in the final FCS
top 25 polls. Eleven different CAA teams were either ranked or re-ceiving votes in the national polls at some point during the 2016
season.A total of 20 CAA Football players were named to one or more All-America teams in 2016, led by consensus
first-team All-America selections, offensive lineman Mitchell Kirsch of James Madison and defensive lineman Tanoh Kpassagnon of Villanova. In addition, Towson’s Jake Ryder was chosen to the FCS ADA Academic All-America team.
CAA Football continues to provide a path to the next level, with two players selected in the 2017 NFL Draft. Kpassagnon was drafted in the second round (59th overall) by the Kansas City Chiefs and Villanova offensive lineman Brad Seaton went to the Tennessee Titans in round seven. The conference has now had multiple players picked in each NFL Draft since 2006.
CAA Football reached a national audience last fall with 30 regular-season games televised by various outlets. In addition, numerous others were distributed on CAA.tv. In 2015, the CAA’s national appeal was showcased when ESPN’s iconic College Gameday aired live from James Madison on Oct. 24 prior to the Dukes’ conference showdown with Richmond. It marked the show’s first trip to a CAA campus.
CAA Football’s emphasis on its players’ off-the-field achievements was evident again in 2016. New Hamp-shire’s Casey DeAndrade was the recipient of the Chuck Boone Leadership Award, which honors the player who best embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship in his aca-demic and athletic pursuits. Towson’s Jake Ryder and New Hampshire’s Cam Shorey were selected as CAA Football’s Student-Athlete of the Year.
Showing a desire to unite behind a common cause, all 12 CAA Football schools partnered with the Be the Match Foundation and its “Get in the Game, Save a Life” program in 2016. Former Villanova coach Andy Talley has been a driving force nationally for the program, which raises awareness of the need for bone marrow donors.
CAA Football has enjoyed a tremendous record in the postseason, earning 98 total playoff berths and at least three in every year since 2006. The league’s 99 all-time wins in the NCAA playoffs are second-most of any FCS conference, and the league has further established its presence at the national level by placing 12 teams in the national semifinals over the past 11 seasons.
James Madison’s national title in 2016 was the third in the past decade and sixth overall for CAA Football. Villanova captured the 2009 national championship and Richmond claimed its first FCS crown in 2008. In 2004, JMU took home the national championship, becoming the first team since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986 to reach the final after winning three road playoff games. Delaware rolled past Colgate, 40-0, to capture the first title-game shutout in 2003. Former league member Massachusetts earned a national championship in 1998.
CAA Football boasts a total of 27 individual national award winners in league history. Villanova quarterback John Robertson (2014), Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinicke (2012), New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos (2006), William & Mary quarterback Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Nova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997), UNH running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1998) all earned the Walter Payton Award as the top offensive player in FCS under the league banner. UNH linebacker Matt Evans (2011), James Madison defensive lineman Arthur Moats (2009), and JMU linebacker Derrick Lloyd (2001) each received the Buck Buchanan Award as the
top defensive player in FCS. Robertson (2012) and Towson’s Terrance West (2011) are past recipients of the Jerry Rice Award as the top freshman in FCS. New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005 and 2014), Towson’s Rob Ambrose (2011), JMU’s Mickey Matthews (1999 and 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) are past Eddie Robinson Award winners from the league as the top coach in FCS. JMU’s Mike Houston (2016), McDonnell (2014), Matthews (2004), Talley (1997 and 2009), Delaware’s K.C. Keeler (2010), Richmond’s Mike London (2008), and Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) have all garnered the AFCA National Coach of the Year honor as well.
The league remains successful beyond the collegiate playing field. CAA Football has had 113 players draft-ed by NFL franchises dating back to 1948. A total of 35 players have been selected in the draft over the last 12 years, including 2013 Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco of Delaware (18th overall to the Baltimore Ravens in 2008). More than 30 players currently join Flacco on active NFL rosters.
CAA Football’s geographic footprint extends up and down the East Coast, with schools located from Maine to North Carolina. Members include UAlbany, Delaware, Elon, James Madison, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Richmond, Stony Brook, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. Joe D’Antonio begins his second year as commissioner of CAA Football and the Colonial Athletic Association.
While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years. On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except for football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operational control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becom-ing part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004. With the conference under the CAA Football banner, UAlbany and Stony Brook were welcomed in 2013, followed by Elon in 2014.

DELAWARE FOOTBALL
The University of Delaware is one of 127 foot-ball-playing institutions classified in NCAA Football Championship Subdivision for the 2017 season. The schools represent membership brought about through a re-organization of college football in 1977. The 2017 season will be the 39th season of FCS football. The I-AA tournament between 1978 and 1980 included four teams, in 1981 it included eight teams, and was expanded to 12 teams in 1982 before reaching 16. The field was expanded to 20 in 2010, while the 2013 season was the first year featuring a 24-team playoff. Of the 24 teams selected to play in the 2014 NCAA FCS football championship tournament, 11 will be conference champions and 13 will be desig-nated at-large berths. The conferences receiving automatic berths are the Colonial Athletic Association, Southern, Gate-way, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Patriot, Southland, Big Sky, Ohio Valley Northeast, Big South and Pioneer conferences. The tournament structure calls for the field to be seeded by the NCAA selection committee and an-nounced on Sunday, Nov. 19.
Sixteen schools will play first-round games at home sites Saturday, Nov. 25, while second round games will take place on Saturday, Dec. 2. The quar-terfinals will be played on Dec. 9, while the semifi-nals will be played on campus sites Dec. 15-16.

#rv DELAWARE 56Delaware State 14September 1, 2016 • Delaware Stadium (17,835)
NEWARK, Del. -- Wes Hills made up for a lot of missed time in Delaware’s 2016 opener. Hills, determined to make his return a big one after sitting out all but the 2015 opener while recovering from a broken foot, did just that as the junior running back ran for 212 yards and scored two touchdowns, one on a 59-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, to lead the Blue Hens. The Blue Hens piled up 487 yards of total offense, including 395 on the ground, and a dominating Delaware defense forced six turnovers and held the Hornets to just 184 total yards in the complete victory. Delaware downed Delaware State for the seventh time without a loss in this in-state rivalry and in the process captured the 300th victory in the history of 65-year old Delaware Stadium. The Blue Hens drove 74 yards on their first drive and scored on a Jalen Randolph two-yard run just five minutes in to take a quick 7-0. They then promptly got the ball back when defensive end John Nassib intercepted a pass on Delaware State’s second play from scrimmage. Eleven plays later Delaware sophomore quarterback Joe Walker scored on a one-yard dive to push the lead to 14-0. Delaware never looked back as Hills scored on runs of 13 and 59 yards to push the lead to 28-0 at the break, Randolph scored his second touchdown of the game five minutes into the second half, and Walker added a 25-yard scoring toss to Diante Cherry 24 seconds later for a 42-0 advantage. Backup quarterback Blake Rankin added a 10-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Charles Scarff on the final play of the third quarter and sophomore linebacker Troy Reeder, a Delaware native playing his first game for the Blue Hens after transfering from Penn State, put the cherry on top with a 13-yard intercep-tion return for a touchdown 12 second into the final stanza. Thomas Jefferson, the 2015 CAA Offensive Rookie of the Year, added 70 yards rushing whileRandolph, who missed all but the first three games of the 2015 season himself due to an injury, picked up 55 yards. In addition to interceptions by Nassib and Reeder, junior linebacker Anthony Jackson picked off two passes. The Hens had just 12 combined interceptions over the last two seasons

#rv DELAWARE 24Lafayette 6September 10, 2016 • Fisher Stadium (6,828)
EASTON, Pa. -- A year ago, maybe Delaware doesn’t win a game like this. But things have changed. Still in the game thanks to a stifling defense but trailing 6-3 in the final seconds of the third quarter due to a sputtering offense, the Blue Hens finally put things together and escaped with a victory on a steamy evening. The Blue Hen offense erupted for three second half touchdowns while the defense produced another outstanding effort, holding the Leopards (1-1) to just 189 total yards and intercepting two passes. Delaware, off to a 2-0 start for the third time in the last five years, trailed 6-3 late in the third quarter, but took the lead for good at 10-6 when running back Thomas Jefferson found a seam in the Lafayette defense and scored nearly untouched from 16 yards out to culminate a 49-yard drive. After forcing a Lafayette punt, the Leopards ninth of the night, the Blue Hens then went 91 yards on their next possession, taking a 17-6 advantage when quarterback Joe Walker found wide receiver Diante Cherry behind the defense and threw a 35-yard touchdown strike on a fourth and six play. On the first play of the Leopards’ ensuing drive, safety Ray Jones picked off a Drew Reed pass and returned it to the Lafayette 19 yard line. It then took the Blue Hens just four plays to pick up their third touchdown of the night, as Jalen Randolph scored on a four-yard scamper to put the game away. Jefferson finished with 124 yards on the ground while Randolph added 105, as Delaware rushed for 276 yards on the night. Walker finished 5 of 15 for 66 yards through the air, with four of his completions going to Cherry. Jefferson also surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for his career, becoming the third current member of the UD backfield to reach the milestone. Jefferson and Randolph took over the ground attack after starter Wes Hills, who ran for 212 yards in the Hens’ season-opening 56-14 win over Delaware State, went down with an elbow injury on the second play of the game and never returned. Meanwhile the UD defense shut down Lafayette all night, allowing just 189 yards for the game. Soph-omore cornerback Malcolm Brown made five tackles and intercepted a pass while sophomore linebacker Jasawn Thompson also had five including a pair of sacks and sophomore defensive tackle Blaine Woodson had four tackles and a sack. Neither team could manage to reach the end zone in the first half as the team’s entered halftime knot-ted at 3-3. Delaware’ Frank Raggo kicked a 43-yard field goal - the second longest of his career - with 8:15 left in the first quarter. Lafayette’s Jacob Bissell answered with a 27-yarder with 1:20 left in the opening stanza. Bissell then kicked a 20-yarder with 8:41 left in third quarter to give the Leopards a 6-3 lead.

Wake Forest 38#rv DELAWARE 21September 17, 2016 • BB&T Stadium (25,972)
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest rolled up 481 yards of total offense while Delaware could muster just 94 yards of its own as the Demon Deacons wore down the Blue Hens. The Deacs (3-0) rushed for 302 yards on the ground on 59 carries, an average of 5.1 yards per rush, as Matt Colburn led the way with 118 yards and a touchdown. The Blue Hens (2-1) were held to less than 100 total yards for just the sixth time in school history. Jalen Randolph ran for 36 yards and Thomas Jefferson added 30 as both players found the end zone, but quarterback Blake Rankin was just 6 of 20 for 38 yards, although he did connect with Diante Cherry for a 13-yard scoring strike in the first half. The Blue Hens played without starting quarterback Joe Walker, who missed the game with a lower leg injury, and running back Wes Hills, who sat out with an elbow injury. Delaware opened the game by going three and out, while Wake Forest immediately scored on a six-play, 53-yard drive, taking the early lead on quarterback Kendall Hinton’s 10-yard run with 10:44 left in the first quarter. The Deacs extended the lead to 10-0 late in the quarter before UD cornerback Tenny Adewusi made his first career interception, giving the Blue Hens the ball on the Wake 10 yard line. Delaware would take advantage of the turnover, as Cherry made a leaping catch of a Rankin toss in the right corner of the end zone with just two seconds on the first quarter clock to make it a 10-7 game. Wake answered with a 71-yard drive on eight plays, capped with a 15-yard touchdown run by Tyler Bell, to immediately go back up double digits at 17-7. But the Blue Hen defense came up big again, as Ray Jones recovered a fumble at the Deacs’ 19-yard line to again give the offense a short field. Delaware took advantage as Jefferson ran for 11 yards and later scored from 10 yards out to pull the Blue Hens within 17-14 at the 6:17 mark. However, Wake controlled the remainder of the game, scoring with 44 seconds left in the half to take a 24-14 lead into intermission, adding a 75-yard scoring drive on their first possession of the second half, and extending the lead to 38-14 on another score with 4:45 left in the third. Delaware closed the scoring early in the fourth quarter by marching 80 yards, aided by a pair of Wake penalties, and scored when Randolph recovered a fumble in the end zone with 8:03 to play. John Nassib, Troy Reeder, Cam Kitchen, Charles Bell and Jones each had seven tackles for the Hens.

#7 James Madison 43#rv DELAWARE 20October 1, 2016 • Bridgeforth Stadium (25,236)
HARRISONBURG, Va. -- Things were looking good for Delaware early in the second quarter when Wes Hills finished off a 78-yard drive with a 24-yard scoring run to knot the score at 7-7. But things quickly went south for the Hens after that as the No. 7 ranked Dukes reeled off 33 straight points and never looked back in ruining the Blue Hens’ Colonial Athletic Association opener. Delaware (2-2, 0-1 CAA) did manage to rush for 312 yards as part of a solid 437-yard performance, but there was no stopping the powerful James Madison attack as the Dukes (3-1, 2-0 CAA) piled up 607 total yards on the way to their second straight win. The Blue Hens’ running attack was a bright spot as the trio of Wes Hills, Jalen Randolph, and Thomas Jefferson combined to pile up 241 of the team’s 312 yards on the ground and each scored a touchdown. Jefferson posted a team-high 92 yards while Hills, back after missing the Wake Forest game with an injury, added 78 yards and Randolph contributed 71 yards. Delaware QB Joe Walker, who also returned to action after missing the Wake Forest game with an inju-ry, hit on 8 of 19 passes for 124 as the Hens reached a season-high in that category. Junior wide receiver Diante Cherry caught six passes for a career-high 92 yards. James Madison, which entered the game with an offense that ranked No. 2 in the NCAA in rushing (328.0 yards per game) and scoring offense (48.0), and No. 4 in total offense (512.3), was on the mark once again. The Dukes piled up 607 total yards - the most ever by JMU against Delaware and the seventh highest total ever against Delaware - including 398 yards on the ground. Khalid Abdullah rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns and QB Bryan Schor ran for 103 yards and three scores and also threw for 209 yards and a touchdown. After each team hit the uprights on a long field goal attempt in their first possessions, JMU drew first blood with a seven-yard run from Schor in the opening stanza. But the Hens came right back to knot the score at 7-7 as they drove 78 yards and Hills completed the drive with an impressive 24-yard run that saw him emerge from a pile of defenders and scamper the rest of the way untouched for the score on the first play of the stanza. But the rest of the day held little success for the Blue Hens. JMU answered quickly with three straight scores over an eight-minute span to take a 26-7 lead at the break and then scored with 6:12 left in the third to increase the lead to 33-7. A 41-yard scoring run by Abdullah seven seconds into the final stanza increased the lead to 40-7.

Maine 28DELAWARE 21October 8, 2016 • Delaware Stadium (18,108)
NEWARK, Del. -- Delaware running back Wes Hills rushed for 242 yards and scored twice, including a spectacular 61-yard jaunt that tied the game in the final minutes, but his fumble with 56 seconds left was picked up by Maine’s Austin Brown and returned 62 yards for a touchdown to lift the Black Bears to the improbable victory at soggy Delaware Stadium. Maine had taken a 21-14 lead with 5:48 left to play when quarterback Dan Collins and Jaleel Reed hooked up on an 11-yard scoring pass and followed with a crazy two-point conversion in which the ball was tipped by two UD defenders before falling into Reed’s hands. But the Hens came right back and went 68 yards on two plays with Hills breaking up the middle and scoring from 61 yards out to tie the game at 21-21 with 5:01 left. Hills’ 242 yards was the fourth most in UD history and highest since 2007. The Black Bears (2-3, 1-1 CAA) then drove 53 yards but missed the chance to take the lead when Patrick Leonard was wide left on a 35-yard field goal. Delaware took over and used a 27-yard run and a 14-yard reception by Hills to get down to the Maine 40. But on the next play Hills was hit by Maine’s Darius Greene and fumbled and Brown was there to scoop it up and score the game-winner. Delaware (2-3, 0-2 CAA), which suffered its third straight loss, had one last chance to tie the game and send it into overtime but was denied when Joe Walker’s desperation pass into the end zone from 29 yards out was knocked away to end the game. Delaware came out strong for the second straight game, taking its first possession and driving 68 yards to take a 7-0 lead with 8:09 left in the first quarter on a one-yard burst by Jalen Randolph. But Maine came back to take a 13-7 lead late in the second quarter thanks to two touchdown passes by Collins, who finished the day going 21 of 33 for 307 yards and two scores. He hit Earnest Edwards on a 60-yard bomb down the middle to pull Maine to within 7-6 and then gave the Black Bears the lead on a one-yard toss to a wide-open Michael Supp with 3:58 left. But Delaware rallied to take a 14-13 lead into halftime by driving 70 yards on six plays with Hills completing the possession on a 17-yard scamper with 42 seconds left. He accounted for all but six yards during the scoring drive. Delaware finished with 393 total yards with 319 of them coming on the ground. The Hens went into the final quarter with zero passing yards before Walker finished 6 of 16 for 74 yards passing and also added 51 yards rushing. Defensively, defensive tackle Bilal Nichols had two sacks, six tackles, and a pass breakup and Charles Bell notched a career-high 13 tackles.

#rv William & Mary 24DELAWARE 17October 15, 2016 • Zable Stadium (11,713)
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- Delaware suffered late-game heartbreak for the second straight week as host William & Mary scored 21 fourth-quarter points to rally for the win. Delaware (2-4, 0-3 CAA), which suffered its fourth straight setback, took a 14-3 lead into the final quarter after quarterback Joe Walker broke through for a 34-yard scoring run with 6:17 left in the third quarter. But the final stanza was littered with pitfalls for the Blue Hens as William & Mary intercepted a pass in the end zone on the first play of the quarter, drove 80 yards to cut the deficit to 14-10, and then used a successful onside kick to regain possession and move 54 yards for the go-ahead score with 4:12 left. The Tribe (3-4, 1-3 CAA), which snapped a three-game losing streak of its own, sealed the deal when Aaron Swinton intercepted his second pass of the day and returned it 63 yards for a touchdown with 1:43 remaining for a 24-14 lead. Walker completed 9 of 19 passes for 112 yards and also rushed for a career-high 109 yards and a touchdown to lead a 379-yard effort. Walker became the first Blue Hen quarterback to surpass the 100-yard rushing mark since Andy Hall ran for 159 vs. Hofstra in 2003. Despite playing without leading rusher Wes Hills due to a lower body injury, the Hens still managed to pile up 267 yards on the ground thanks to Walker. Thomas Jefferson added 94 yards rushing while Jalen Randolph gained another 57 yards. Delaware cornerback Nasir Adderley led the Hens with a career-high 10 tackles while linebacker Charles Bell added eight stops. After William & Mary kicked a 41-yard field goal on its first possession, Delaware came right back to take the lead, driving 82 yards in 6:07 capped by wide receiver Jamie Jarmon running around the left side for a nine-yard touchdown, the first score of his career. That lead stood up into halftime and the Hens built on it midway through the third quarter when Walker found a seam on a third-and-four play and sprinted untouched 34 yards for the touchdown to give UD a 14-3 advantage at the 6:17 mark. But things went awry from there. Delaware was driving for another likely score late in the third quarter and had the ball on the Tribe 14-yard line. But Walker’s pass to Diante Cherry in the end zone on the second play of the final quarter was picked off by Swinton. The Tribe then drove 80 yards on 11 plays and pulled to within 14-10 on a one-yard dive by Anderson with 9:05 left. Things changed in a big way on the following play as William & Mary attempted an onside kick and recovered it at their own 46-yard line. Ten plays later Cluley sneaked in from four yards out to give the Tribe the lead for good at 17-14 with 4:12 remaining.

#24/22 Stony Brook 28DELAWARE 3October 22, 2016 • Delaware Stadium (12,972)
NEWARK, Del. -- Five lost fumbles were too much to overcome for Delaware as the Blue Hens ended a challenging week with the Colonial Athletic Association setback to No. 24/22 Stony Brook. Delaware, which entered the game having fumbled just six times all season long to rank among the national leaders, coughed the ball up seven times and lost five of them in suffering their fifth straight loss, the team’s longest streak since 1939. The Hens (2-5, 0-4 CAA) are off to an 0-4 start in league play for the first time since joining the CAA - then the Yankee Conference - in 1986. It was a tough debut for interim head coach Dennis Dottin-Carter, who took over the reigns of the Blue Hens on Sunday when fourth-year head coach Dave Brock was relieved of his duties. Stony Brook (5-2, 4-0 CAA), tied atop the CAA standings with James Madison, won its third straight game as Stacey Bedell ran for 120 yards and two fourth quarter touchdowns, quarterback Joe Carbone threw for 75 yards and ran for a 24-yard score, and linebacker John Haggart posted 11 tackles, including 5.5 tackles for loss and three sacks, and forced three fumbles. The Seawolves had 13 tackles for loss, including five sacks, for the game. Delaware lost despite holding Stony Brook to just 10 first downs and 285 total yards, holding a nearly seven-minute advantage in time of possession, and stopping them on 9 of 13 third down attempts. Junior linebacker Charles Bell led the UD defensive effort with 11 tackles, including 3.5 for loss, and returned a fumble 33 yards in the first half. Fellow linebacker Troy Reeder added eight stops. Offensively for the Hens, quarterback Joe Walker threw for a career-high 134 yards with wide receiver Charles Scarff hauling in a season-high four catches for 71 yards. Delaware managed just 238 yards for the game, including 78 in the second half. After a scoreless first quarter, Stony Brook got on the board early in the second quarter when Walker was hit hard by Haggart as he was about to throw and fumbled. Stony Brook’s Raheem Woods picked up the loose ball and rambled 55 yards to give the Seawolves the lead for good. Delaware came right back and put together their longest drive of the season. The Hens went 60 yards on 18 plays and used up 10:28 of the clock before settling for a 23-yard field goal by Frank Raggo into the wind with 3:15 left in the half to cut the lead to 7-3. The drive was the longest since an 18-play drive vs. New Hampshire last season. The Hens had the chance to take the lead right before the half when defensive end Armen Ware forced a fumble and Bell picked it up and ran 33 yards down to the Stony Brook 20-yard line. But Delaware managed just eight yards on four plays and Stony Brook took over on downs. The second half was all Stony Brook as the Seawolves forced four Delaware fumbles, recovered three of them, and scored three touchdowns in the final 24 minutes. Stony Brook followed two of the fumble recoveries with touchdowns and sealed the victory on Bedell’s two fourth quarter scores.

DELAWARE 20Towson 6October 29, 2016 • Delaware Stadium (17,488)
NEWARK, Del. -- Thanks to a big rushing effort from Thomas Jefferson, two interceptions from RyanTorzsa, and a little razzle dazzle, Delaware put an end to its historic losing streak in front of an appreciative Homecoming crowd. With leading rusher Wes Hills out for the second straight game with an injury, Jefferson and Jalen Randolph led the way on the ground as Delaware piled up 243 yards rushing on the way to the victory. Delaware (3-5, 1-4 CAA) snapped a five-game losing streak - its longest since 1939, won their first game since Sept. 10, and gave interim head coach Dennis Dottin-Carter his first career victory. The Blue Hen defense certainly did its part, holding the Tigers (1-7, 0-5 CAA) to just 206 total yards, forcing five turnovers, including four interceptions, and recording nine tackles for loss. Jefferson carried 25 times for 141 yards and sealed the win with a 40-yard scoring jaunt up the middle with 8:15 left to close the scoring. Randolph finished with 76 yards rushing and scored the Hens’ first touchdown when wide receiver Diante Cherry took a quick pitch from quarterback Joe Walker, took a step back, and fired a perfect pass across the field right into the hands of a wide-open Randolph down the right sidelines for the score. That touchdown gave Delaware a 7-3 lead with 4:01 left in the opening quarter and the Hens never trailed the rest of the day. Defensively, Torzsa picked off his first two passes of the season despite wearing a heavy cast on his hand due to an injury. Cornerback Nasir Adderley also picked off a pass, linebacker Charles Bell made 13 tackles and intercepted a pass, and linebacker Jasawn Thompson recorded two sacks to lead the defensive effort. The 208 yards allowed was the best effort by the Hens since the Sept. 10 win over Lafayette and the five turnovers gained was the most since forcing six in the season-opening win over Delaware State on Sept. 1. Delaware has now forced 18 turnovers this season, including 13 interceptions, the highest total since the 2011 season when the Hens had 18 picks. Also leading the Blue Hen effort was sophomore kicker Frank Raggo, who booted field goals of 30 and 33 yards to cap successful drives. Torzsa picked off Knudson on Towson’s first drive of the day but the Hens could not take advantage. Neither team scored until O’Neill’s 27-yard field goal with 9:50 left in the first half but the Hens came back with the Cherry-to-Randolph spectacular and Raggo’s first field goal for a 10-3 halftime lead. After Towson cut the Delaware lead to 10-6 on O’Neill’s second field goal of the day, the Hens came right back with a 11-play drive that consumed 5:14 and ended with Raggo’s second successful field goal for a 13-6 lead with 3:54 left in the third frame. Delaware then sealed the deal with Jefferson took a handoff and rambled 40 yards up the middle for his fourth touchdown of the season.

DELAWARE 33#rv/rv Albany 17November 5, 2016 • Bob Ford Field at Casey Stadium (4,412)
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Delaware proved that it knows a little about forcing turnovers, too. Facing an Albany team that entered the game ranked second nationally in turnover margin with an impressive +17 mark, the Blue Hens forced five miscues themselves to post their second straight victory. The Blue Hens (4-5, 2-4 CAA) turned the ball over just once, had a 22-minute advantage in time of possession, recovered three fumbles, intercepted two passes, and used a punishing ground attack to win. Delaware scored its highest point total in a road game since the 2013 season. Wes Hills, who played for the first time since Oct. 22 due to an injury, ran for a game-high 122 yards and scored two touchdowns, including a 44-yard jaunt. Thomas Jefferson added another 73 yards and a touchdown on the ground as the Hens piled up 260 total yards on the ground. Albany (5-4, 2-4 CAA), which lost for the fourth time in the last five games, managed just seven first downs and 236 total yards, including just 15 total yards the entire second half. Troy Reeder was all over the field for the Hens as he intercepted a pass, recovered a fumble, and later recovered another fumble that he forced. Nasir Adderley also led the way as he scored his first career touchdown when he raced 22 yards for a touchdown to give Delaware a 28-17 lead. Albany scored on its first three possessions to take a 17-7 lead before the Hens rallied. The Great Danes got a 36-yard field goal on their first possession and then made it 10-0 when Elijah Ibitokun-Hanks, the CAA’s leading rusher, capped an 80-yard drive with a 33-yard run with 4:03 left in the opening stanza. Hanks finished with 91 yards, well below is average of 122.6 yards per game. After Hills put the Hens on the board with his 44-yard scoring romp on the second play of the second quarter to narrow the lead to 10-7, Albany came back on a six-yard scoring toss from Nevin Sussman to Nic Ketter. Hills scored for a second time on a six-yard burst with 15 seconds left in the half to cut the deficit to 17-14. Delaware took control of the game with a dominating third quarter. After Adderley returned the opening kickoff 45 yards, the Hens used a 13-play drive to take the lead for good at 21-17 when Jefferson scored on a one-yard dive with 6:48 left in the stanza. Just three plays later, Adderley came up with his big pick-six on a third down play to increase the Blue Hen lead to 28-17. Delaware continued its control in the final stanza on a Frank Raggo field goal and a sack by Bilal Nichols for a safety. UD outgained Albany 53-8 in the third quarter and 89-7 in the final stanza.

#8/8 Richmond 31DELAWARE 17November 12, 2016 • Robins Stadium (8,700)
RICHMOND, Va. -- Just one week after forcing four turnovers in a win at Albany, the Blue Hens turned the ball over four times themselves and the high-powered Spiders pulled away late. Despite the miscues, the Blue Hens were very much in the game until midway through the final quarter. After the Spiders erased an early Delaware lead by halftime, the Hens continued to nip at Richmond’s heels and trailed just 24-17 when Thomas Jefferson scored on a seven-yard burst with 7:12 left to play. But the Hens could never complete the comeback as Richmond responded quickly with a three-play, 81-yard drive to push the lead back to 31-17 with 5:42 remaining. That the high-powered Spider offense piled up 466 total yards, including 286 through the air by QB Kyle Lauletta, didn’t help as the Blue Hens (4-6, 2-5 CAA) had their two-game win streak snapped. Richmond (8-2, 5-2 CAA), the defending CAA champion and preseason favorite and a 2015 NCAA semifinalist, solidified its bid to earn a second straight NCAA Tournament at-large bid as the Spiders won for the sixth time in the last seven weeks.The Spiders had six plays go for 20 or more yards. Lauletta, the preseason CAA Player of the Year, hit on 21 of 35 passes for 286 yards and three touch-downs with Brian Brown hauling in six throws for 139 yards and a score. Freshman Deontez Thompson led the running attack with 132 yards and a score. Delaware QB Joe Walker hit on 11 of 18 passes for a career-high 182 yards, but he was intercepted twice. The usually sure-handed Jalen Randolph also committed two miscues, both coming after long plays inside Richmond territory as he was battling to pick up extra yards. Randolph finished with a team-high 75 yards rushing while Jefferson added 48 yards on the ground. Leading rusher Wes Hills, still hobbled by a lower body injury, carried just seven times for 20 yards. Delaware started fast, driving 57 yards in its first possession to take a 7-0 lead. The drive was extended when punter and holder Will Stephenson completed a six-yard pass to tight end Kyle Yocum off a fake field goal attempt to convert a first down. Two plays later Randolph scored from six yards out for a 7-0 lead just 7:03 into the game. But Richmond came back with 17 unanswered points, including a 12-yard scoring pass from Lauletta to Garett Hudson and a six-yard run by Thompson, to take a 17-7 lead into the break. Delaware cut the lead to 17-10 on Frank Raggo’s 24-yard field goal with 2:26 left in the third quarter, but Richmond answered with another Lauletta to Hudson scoring connection to push the advantage to 24-10.

#13/15 Villanova 41DELAWARE 10November 19, 2016 • Rhodes Stadium (15,987)
NEWARK, Del. -- The annual Battle of the Blue belonged to No. 13 ranked Villanova as the Wildcats scored on their first four possessions - three of them 80 yards or more - and handed the Blue Hens a 41-10 setback at Delaware Stadium. The Blue Hens (4-7, 2-6 CAA) finished a disappointing season by losing their final two games - both to Top 20 opponents. Villanova (8-3, 6-2 CAA) defeated Delaware for the fifth straight year and for the 10th time in the last 11 seasons in one of the most heated rivalries at the NCAA FCS. The teams met for the 50th time since 1895 with the Wildcats taking home the Battle of the Blue Trophy. Jalen Randolph led Delaware in his final career game as he rushed 16 times for 76 yards. He was one of 11 Blue Hen players who made their final appearances in a Blue Hen uniform. Joe Walker hit on 7 of 14 passes for 111 yards and tossed a seven-yard scoring pass to tight end Owen Tyler late in the second half for Tyler’s first career touchdown. The Blue Hens also got scoring from Frank Raggo who booted a 35-yard field goal early in the second quarter, his 8th in 11 tries this season. Villanova quarterback Zach Bednarczyk was on the mark all day as he led an offense that piled up 474 yards as he hit on 13 of 17 passes for 195 yards and a career-high four touchdowns while also running for 78 yards. Matt Gudzak added a career-high 121 yards and scored two touchdowns while tight end Ryan Bell caught two touchdown passes. The Wildcats scored on their first possession to take a 7-0 lead and never relinquished the advantage. Villanova marched 97 yards on 14 plays during that first drive, which was capped by a four-yard scoring pass from Bednarczyk to Ryan Bell with 3:54 left in the opening stanza. They followed with an 80-yard drive that resulted in a 34-yard scoring pass to Changa Hodge just two minutes into the second stanza. Raggo’s field goal put the Hens on the board, but Villanova came back with a three-yard scoring toss from Bednarczyk to Bell and a 54-yard Bednarczyk pass down the middle to a wide open Gudzak for a score. Delaware scored what proved to be its final points with just 10 seconds left in the opening half when Walker’s seven-yard scoring toss to Tyler cut the margin to 27-10.

The Blue team also got a 43-yard field goal from Mark Bonnie in the fourth quarter and a 15-yard scoring pass from Pat Kehoe to Gene Coleman II in the final minute of play. The offense picked up 14 first downs and 246 total yards as Walker completed 10 of 20 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown and Kehoe went 5 of 9 for 60 yards and a score.

Delaware Stadium, one of the finest football facilities in the country at the NCAA Division I Football Cham-pionship Subdivision level and the home to six National Championship Blue Hen football teams, begins its 66th season of action in 2017.
Erected in 1952 and enlarged prior to the 1964, 1970, 1972 and the 1975 seasons, the 22,000-seat stadium is the second largest in the Colonial Athletic Association and one of the largest in the nation in FCS football.
Delaware Stadium has undergone extensive renovations throughout the years, most recently the installa-tion of new bleachers, eight poles of permanent broadcast-quality lights (2000), a new synthetic FieldTurf surface (2009), and handrails throughout the stadium (2011).
Both the Blue Hen men’s and women’s lacrosse teams also play their home games in Delaware Stadium. Delaware celebrated the 50th anniversary of the facility in 2002, producing a poster and recognizing
players from the first Blue Hen teams (1952-55) to play in Delaware Stadium as part of an Oct. 5 ceremony. Another highlight of the 2002 campaign came in the season-opening win over Georgia Southern Aug. 29
when the Delaware Stadium playing surface was dedicated as Tubby Raymond Field, recognizing Delaware’s College Football Hall of Fame head coach who retired following the 2001 season after compiling 300 victories in 36 seasons. Raymond was on hand to pass the football off to then new head coach K.C. Keeler prior to the game. Most of the team captains from Raymond’s 36 teams were also in attendance to celebrate the evening.
On gameday, the Blue Hen football team enters Delaware Stadium from a brick runway underneath the South stands directly behind the goalpost. The team’s smoke-filled exit from the tunnel, inside the giant inflated UD helmet onto Raymond Field and through a gauntlet of Blue Hen Marching Band and UD Spirit Team members lining the field, is one of the highlights of football Saturdays at Delaware Stadium.
A plaque, which lists the accomplishments of past Blue Hen football teams, along with a bronze football hangs from the runway. A new tradition was started in 2000 as Delaware players jump up to touch the football before entering the field. Beginning in 2013, the team now departs the tunnel with selected players waving the U.S. and State of Delaware flags. A member of the team who hails from Delaware leads the charge waving the state flag.
Another unique feature of Delaware Stadium is Monument Row, where busts of former Blue Hen football head coaches Bill Murray, Dave Nelson, and Tubby Raymond are proudly displayed in the southwest corner of the facility. Each coach led the Blue Hens to a national championship during his legendary tenure and each is now enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.
Delaware Stadium opened November 15, 1952, with the Blue Hens edging past Lafayette, 13-12, on two touchdowns by halfback Kenny Reith on a cold and rainy afternoon. Entering the 2016 season, the Blue Hens have played 403 games in Delaware Stadium – posting a record of 299-100-4, a winning percentage of .747 over 64 seasons.
Since the stadium opened, Delaware has drawn 22,000 or more fans 57 times, including a season-high 22,075 fans Sept. 9, 2000 vs. The Citadel in the first night game under the new lights. The largest Delaware Stadium crowd was the 23,619 spectators that watched the Blue Hens host Temple, Oct. 27, 1973.
Delaware Stadium attendance records have consistently been broken recently as the Blue Hens drew an average of 22,280 fans during the 2004 regular season, breaking the previous mark of 21,163 set in 2003. Delaware’s home attendance average of 16,478 during the 2016 season ranked eighth among all NCAA FCS institutions.
Delaware was the only school at the NCAA FCS level to average over 20,000 fans for regular season games from 1999 through 2010. Delaware Stadium had drawn at least 20,000 fans in 44 straight regular season games prior to the 2009 home finale against Hofstra.
The Blue Hens are 20-5 in 25 NCAA playoff games played at Delaware Stadium, including a 2-1 mark during the 1997 and 2000 seasons and a perfect 3-0 mark in 2003 when the Hens easily downed Southern Illinois, Northern Iowa, and Wofford on the way to the national championship game. In 2004 Delaware defeated Lafayette, 28-14, in the first round of the NCAA I-AA playoffs, while in 2007 the Blue Hens defeated Delaware State, 44-7, in the first ever matchup between the state’s two FCS teams. In 2010 Delaware rolled past Lehigh, New Hampshire and Georgia Southern by a combined score of 85-33 to again reach the NCAA FCS championship game.
Delaware Stadium’s outstanding facilities earned its selection as the host site for the 1984 and 1986 Divi-sion I NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship games and for two NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament first round games in May, 2002. The NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament returned to Delaware Stadium in 2014 and 2017 when UD hosted two NCAA Tournament quarterfinal games each year.
Other events held in the stadium include the annual Blue-Gold Delaware High School Football All-Star game and University of Delaware graduation ceremonies. Delaware Stadium has been the site of the Blue-Gold All-Star game every year since the game was instituted in the 1950’s. Delaware Stadium hosted its first collegiate night game (using portable lights) Aug. 31, 1991 when the Hens defeated rival West Chester 28-0 in the Texaco Star Classic. The Blue Hens played their first ever night playoff game on Dec. 10, 2010 when Delaware defeated New Hampshire, 16-3, in front of a national television audience.
Delaware Stadium is at the center of the David M. Nelson Athletic Complex that includes the Bob Carpenter Center, a 5,000-seat multi-purpose facility south of the stadium that opened in August, 1992, Fred P. Rullo Jr. Stadium, a 2,000-seat lighted ActionTurf field which opened in September, 1998, and the Delaware Field House, which opened in 1966. The Nelson athletic complex is named in honor of David M. Nelson, Delaware’s longtime football coach, athletic director, and dean who passed away in 1992.
The Carpenter facility, named in honor of UD’s longtime trustee and supporter, houses the Blue Hen football and basketball programs as well as offices, the Chuck Hall Memorial Weight Room, athletic training facilities for the football program, and a VIP center with a view to Delaware Stadium. The BCC served as the host site of the 2013 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament first and second round games in March, 2013
where sellout crowds saw the nationally-ranked Blue Hens defeat West Virginia and North Carolina to move on to the NCAA Sweet 16.
The BCC also served as home to the NBA Philadelphia 76ers basketball club pre-season training camp in the fall of 1995 and 1996 and once again welcomed professional basketball in 2013-14 when the Delaware 87ers, the NBA Development League affiliate of the 76ers, began playing its home games at “The Bob.”
An addition to the Bob Carpenter Center, which includes full-sized practice gyms for the basketball and volleyball squads, team rooms, coaching and administrative offices, and meeting space, was completed in the fall of 2012.
The Blue Hen field hockey team plays its home games at Rullo Stadium, which played host to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association North-South Senior Men’s Lacrosse All-Star Game in June, 2000 as well as the U.S. Men’s Lacrosse Team tryouts in 2001. In addition, local high schools play field hockey and lacrosse games at Rullo Stadium as do several area colleges.
In the fall of 2013, the 360-by-180 foot Delaware Field House was transformed into a first-class indoor practice complex, completing renovations that in recent years included a new lighting system, heating and air conditioning improvements, the addition of solar panels, and structural improvements.
Artificial turf was installed over the tartan surface and track throughout the arena, making it the largest indoor turf facility in the state of Delaware. A total of 16 UD varsity athletics programs benefited from the improvements, giving those teams an enhanced training facility and the ability to hold full practice sessions during inclement weather. The venue is also now used by intramurals and club teams and attracts additional outside groups and organizations.
The University of Delaware athletic complex also includes eight athletic fields - including the newly-reno-vated 2,000-seat Bob Hannah Baseball Stadium, the Delaware Softball Field, the Ice Skating Science Devel-opment Center featuring two full-sized ice rinks, and an outdoor swimming pool.
Tubby Raymond Field at Delaware Stadium (middle), which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2012, sits in the heart of the David M. Nelson Athletic Complex. At top right is the Bob Hannah Stadium for baseball, at middle right is Delaware Mini Stadium (soccer and track), and bottom right is the UD Softball Stadium. Fred P. Rullo Stadium (field hockey) is at bottom next to the Bob Carpenter Center. Delaware Stadium has been the home of the Delaware football program since 1952. The Hens consistently average over 15,000 fans for each regular season home football game and were the only school in NCAA FCS to average over 20,000 fans from 1999 through 2010.

Bob Hannah Baseball Stadium underwent major renovations in the spring of 2014 and the new enhance-ments were significant, transforming the facility into one of the top venues in the Colonial Athletic Association.
Artificial turf now covers the entire field except for the pitching mound, making for a higher-quality playing surface and giving UD the ability to host practices and games later into the fall and earlier in the spring. In addition, new heated, 70-foot dugouts, a 20-foot high left field wall, bullpens, batting cages, improved view-ing areas, and a scoreboard were also installed. Nearly 100 former players returned to honor Bob Hannah and celebrate the new facility on Apr. 27, 2014.
The new Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium (formerly the Delaware Mini-Stadium), located just east of Delaware Stadium, underwent major renovations in the summer of 2014. Thanks to a $1.5 million gift from the Grants, the largest single donation made by an individual or couple to be allocated in support of a UD Athletics facility, renovations included upgrading spectator seating to 1,400, improving sight lines, creating storage areas, installing a new sound system, and constructing a new 48-foot, climate-controlled press box that is able to accommodate 24 people. A quarter-mile all-weather track that surrounds the playing field was resurfaced in the spring of 2014. Permanent lights were installed at the facility in 2000.
Two lighted turf football practice fields, the Delaware Field House Tennis Courts, and two newly-renovated grass practice fields used for soccer and summer camps, are also part of the complex.

DELAWARE FOOTBALL
Listed below, left to right, is date of game, Delaware’s score, the opponent, the opponent’s score, Delaware win or loss, the site of game and attendance (where available), and opponent national ranking at date of game where avail-able (NCAA Committee rank - The Sports Network rank). All games marked with # were televised live or same day-tape delay with station call letters or network in ( ) where available. All games marked with (N) were night games (6 p.m. or later). Opponent national ranking (NCAA/Sports Network/USA Today) at date of the game are listed where available (i.e.., #11[TSN]) Corrections and additions should be reported to Scott Selheimer, UD Sports Information Director. Special thanks to former Delaware SID Elbert Chance for his research of UD records. Delaware College did not have a campus athletic field until Frazer Field opened in 1913. The designation “home game”, therefore, has several different meanings. Home games in Newark were played at Homewood Driving Park east of town or on the Pie Field, which was located in the area of West Park Place and Indian Field Road near what once was called the Red Men’s Grove. Home games also were played in Wilmington on the athletics grounds at Front and Union Streets, at Riverview Park and at the Harlan and Holling-sworth athletic fields near the present site of Frawley Stadium on the Christina waterfront. Some of the early opponents were the Delaware Field Club and the Warren Athletic Club of Wilmington, Shortlidge Academy of Media, Pa., and the Wilming-ton Conference Academy, which had opened in Dover in 1873. Games played in Baltimore were played on Homewood Field, which must be distinguished from the Homewood Driving Park.

DELAWARE FOOTBALL
A petition by the Presbytery of Lewes, Delaware, expressing the need for educated clergy led distin-guished Colonial scholar, Rev. Dr. Francis Alison, to open a small school in New London, PA, in 1743. By 1765, the school had been moved to Newark, where in 1769 it received a charter as the Acad-emy of Newark from Thomas and Richard Penn. New Ark College opened as a degree-granting institution in 1834 and the Academy was merged with it. The institution was renamed Delaware College in 1843 and then closed in 1859 because of financial problems. Funds provided by the Morrill Land-Grant College Act of 1862 led to its reopening in 1870. The Women’s College was opened in 1914. In 1921, the two colleges – Delaware College and the Women’s College – merged and became the University of Delaware. In the fall of 2016, there were 23,009 students enrolled, including 18,510 undergraduates; 3,794 graduate students; and 705 enrolled in the Division of Continuing Education. The University offers three associate programs, 138 bachelor’s programs, 121 master’s programs (with 15 joint degrees offered within), and 62 doctoral programs. In 2015-16, the University awarded 288 associate degrees, 4,085 bachelor’s degrees, 889 master’s degrees, and 315 doctoral degrees. Honors degrees also are available in many departments. The distinguished faculty includes internationally known scientists, authors and teachers, almost 90 percent holding the doctorate or terminal professional degree in their field. Wide-ranging research projects, both basic and applied, are conducted in the University’s seven Colleges. Results of University research efforts have helped to enhance the quality of life in Delaware and the region. About two-thirds of the funding for sponsored research and public service programs comes from federal government grants and contracts and federal appropriations; the balance from state and in-dustrial contracts, foundation grants and other sources. The University provides an excellent athletic program, with 21 varsity sports, 8 for men and 13 for women. The University competes on the NCAA Division I level (Football Championship Subdivision for football) through the Colonial Athletic Association, the ECAC, and the NCAA.
The University begins its 17th season as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association this fall, competing in football, field hockey, volleyball, men’s’ and women’s soccer, women’s cross country, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s golf, baseball, softball, women’s rowing, and women’s outdoor track and field. While members of America East in 1991-2001, Delaware captured the Stuart Haskell Commis-sioner’s Cup, signifying overall excellence based on final league standing in all sports, all 10 years that it competed as a full-time member. In addition, an extensive intramural, club sport, and recreational program is available to all Univer-sity students.

THE DELAWARE FIGHTIN’ BLUE HENS ™
University of Delaware’s athletic teams is proud to have one of the most unique nicknames in all of college athletics – “The Fightin’ Blue Hens.” It is a name they carry with pride that stretches back over 200 years of history of the state of Delaware. The Blue Hen nickname has been continuously used by all University of Delaware intercollegiate teams since 1911. On December 9, 1775, the Continental Congress resolved that a military battalion was to be raised from the lower three counties along the Delaware River. Thus was born the Delaware Regiment, a group of eight companies representing New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties. The second company was composed of men from Kent County and was under the command of Captain John Caldwell, an avid fan and owner of gamecocks. The militia often amused themselves by staging cock fights with these birds which were of a breed known as the Kent County Blue Hen, having some blue plumage. The renown of these chickens spread rapidly during that time when cock fighting was a popular form of amusement, and the “Blue Hens’ Chickens” quickly developed a reputation for ferocity and fighting success. Captain Caldwell’s company likewise acquired a considerable reputation for its own fighting prowess in engagements with the British at Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, and Princeton, and was soon known as “the Blue Hen Chicken” company. One version of the story states that Caldwell’s company rushed into battle screaming “We’re sons of the Blue Hen and we’re game to the end!” Captain Caldwell’s company was part of Col. John Haslet’s first Delaware regiment that formed near
the outset of the Revolution in January, 1776, and in August, 1781, remnants of the regiment were still battling at Eutaw Springs, S.C. Although often referred to as “The Fighting Delawares,” Haslet’s regiment also won the sobriquet, “The Blue Hen Chickens,” which has become the nick-name for all Delawareans. The name was formally adopted by the Delaware General Assembly in April, 1939 when the “Blue Hen Chicken” was named the official state bird. The University of Delaware’s College of Agricultural Sciences maintains a breeding group of the Blue Hen Chicken on its campus farm in Newark. The UD mascot, YoUDee, made his debut in September 1993. YoUDee stands 6-foot, 8-inches tall with a 6-1 wing-span and size 28FF sneakers. Another mascot, the pint-sized Baby YoUDee, was intro-duced during the 1999-2000 athletic season. YoUDee is a familiar figure at most University of Delaware athletics events and makes numerous appearances on campus and throughout the community each year.
