DSU hopes MEAC opener is start of a new season

DOVER — The Delaware State and Savannah State football teams have had similar starts to the season.

A lot of road trips, a lot of points scored on them.

Savannah State does have something the Hornets do not — a win.

Delaware State will look for its first win of the season when it travels to meet the Tigers to open Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play (Saturday 6 p.m.). The start of conference season signifies the end of a brutal nonconference schedule for the Hornets (0-3) which featured the two teams currently ranked No. 1 and 2 in the FCS (North Dakota State and Towson.)

“We gained a lot of valuable game experiences from what our young guys did,” said DSU coach Kermit Blount of the nonconference slate. “I’m hoping that the experiences that we gathered over the last three weeks is going to help us go into this game this weekend.”
