NEWARK, Del. – Despite not playing this past weekend due to the scheduled bye week, the University of Delaware football team continued to rise in the national rankings and now sits in the top 10 of both polls. The Blue Hens are now No. 9 in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 and No. 10 in the AFCA Coaches Poll.
The Blue Hens sit at 3-1 on the season and 2-0 in the CAA, having won all three of their games against FCS competition. Delaware opened the season with a 37-13 win at Stony Brook and has won each of its first two home games with victories over Saint Francis (42-14) and then-No. 11/12 New Hampshire (29-25). UD overcame an 18-point deficit against the Wildcats for the program's biggest comeback win since the Blue Hens overcame a 21-point deficit in a 33-32 win over Towson in 2013.

The Blue Hens return to action on Saturday, October 7 against Duquesne. The game is part of UD's Parents and Family Weekend. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. The game is already sold out but tickets to Delaware's remaining home games are still available.
