Cinderella vs Cinderella

The Blue Hens of Delaware just won that close game, 20-17.  I can’t speak much about the two teams since today was the first time I’ve seen them play, but I think it would be safe to say that neither of them played their best football.

Delaware almost didn’t get in the play-offs, they are ranked 13 out of the 16 that made it to the post season, but they beat the No. 1 team and now, the number 4 team.  Hopefully, they won’t beat the No. 5 team next week. 

If App plays like last night and scores 55 points, then yes, they will win 3 National Championships in a row.  How sweet it would be.  I don’t want to make a prediction, so I won’t, but I do have confidence that if Edwards and Richardson stays healthy, App will win.  Even if Trey comes in the game, I still think we can defeat Delaware.

We will see Friday night at 8pm on ESPN2.

Who do I want to win?

It’s currently halftime in the Southern Illinois / Delaware game. SIU is winning 10-7. I can’t quite make up my mind who I want to win. The defense of Southern Illinois scares me a little because our offense is how we win games. Our defense is getting better, but they still make me a little uneasy. Last year we went 14-1. We lost our first game of the season to NC State, which we probably could have won if we had our offense set up right, but whatever. Our defense hasn’t always been there this year, but our offense has been hard to stop.

It’s hard to make a decision now because neither of the teams are playing at their best. Delaware has a good run and pass game, but their quarterback it’s a runner like Edwards is, they rely on their running back. If App plays coverage like last night, where it was pretty much man to man all game, then I’m not sure how well we can cover Delaware’s receivers.

I’ll let you know what I decide after the game. The second half is about to begin.
