Delaware vs Rutgers Preview
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights will look to improve on their best start since 2014 when they take on the Football Championship Subdivision’s (FCS) Delaware Blue Hens.
Rutgers is off to a 2-0 start following wins over Temple (61-14) and Syracuse (17-7).
The defense has been the headliner for Rutgers so far this season, forcing eight turnovers in the first two games. The Scarlet Knights have been tidy with the ball on offense, not turning it over once, thus leading to a nation-best plus-8 turnover margin.
Rutgers also ranks fourth in the country in allowing just a 14.8% third-down conversion rate and are 11th in scoring defense, giving up only 10.5 points per game.
Leading the way for the Scarlet Knights’ defense has been linebacker Olakunle Fatukasi, who leads the Big Ten conference with 11 tackles per game. The 6-2, 240-pound senior recorded 13 tackles in the win over Syracuse last Saturday and also tallied three sacks in the opener vs. Temple.
Rutgers quarterback Noah Vedral broke a 7-7 tie in the third quarter of last week’s contest with Syracuse, when he threw a 30-yard TD pass to tight end Jovani Haskins. The senior QB has shown signs of consistency early on in 2021, ranking third in the Big Ten with a 67.3% completion rate.
Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano knows that the Scarlet Knights cannot overlook their opponent on Saturday, who comes into the contest ranked No. 6 in the STATS Perform FCS Top 25 Poll.
“They’re a good football team. They have good players on offense, good players on defense, and good players in the kicking game,” Schiano said of Delaware. “To me, just like it was for Temple and for Syracuse, it’s about Rutgers getting ready. Our team getting ready to be the best that we can be.”
Delaware returned all of their key pieces from a spring season campaign that saw them finish 7-1 and advance to the FCS national semifinals where they fell to top-seeded South Dakota St.
Like Rutgers, Delaware has yet to turn the ball over in their first two games – victories over Maine and St. Francis.
The Blue Hens are led by quarterback Noah Henderson, who is 32-of-52 for 521 passing yards and three passing TDs in the two wins. The redshirt senior QB counts on wide receivers Gene Coleman II and Thyrick Pitts, who both recorded 100-yard games in the season opener against Maine.
Delaware will be playing with the inspiration of seeing eight of their fellow FCS schools takedown Football Bowl Subdivision programs in the first few weeks of the 2021 season.
“I don’t think we lack confidence, but, for sure, to see so many FCS teams go into FBC stadiums and win games just proves on any day, anyone can be beat,” Henderson said.
Delaware’s last win against an FBS team was back in 2007 when quarterback Joe Flacco led the Blue Hens over Navy, 59-52.
