Delaware has played three FCS teams thus far and these are the numbers. Yes, the defense looks decent but it was against three FCS teams. The offense is downright putrid and that also came against three FCS teams. In other words the defense might not be as good as the numbers indicate and the offense might actually be worse. Working in the Blue Hens' favor is the the reliance on running the ball which something UNC has struggled to stop even when it was NC A&T.
Of course the weather looks to be very wet on Saturday which might turn the game messy. At that point, you can probably throw the numbers out.
