Delaware faces Vanderbilt in first-ever matchup against SEC opponent

Delaware travels to FirstBank Stadium on September 12 to challenge the Vanderbilt Commodores. This game marks the first time the Blue Hens have played an opponent from the SEC since joining the FBS level. Both teams enter the match with 1-0 records following opening victories over FCS competition. Delaware coach Ryan Carty looks to measure his team's progress against a Vanderbilt program that concluded its previous season ranked 15th nationally. The Commodores, now led at quarterback by Blaze Berlowitz and freshman Jared Curtis, intend to focus on a physical running game. Delaware’s defensive scheme will attempt to disrupt the Vanderbilt offense through a three-down, three-safety alignment. The game is scheduled for kickoff at 4:15 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast on the SEC Network.
