Hens' national title hopes alive
A-10 co-champs' clutch win virtually assures playoff berth
By DOUG LESMERISES / The News Journal
11/21/2004NEWARK -- Villanova had been vanquished, a place in the NCAA Division I-AA football playoffs all but assured, so as 22,045 University of Delaware fans streamed out of Delaware Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the air was filled with ...

"Trepidation," said Hockessin's Stewart Wiggins, a loyal fan who still doesn't know what to think about this year's team.

The Blue Hens completed an 8-3 regular season with a 41-35 victory over Villanova and claimed a share of the Atlantic 10 conference title. The selection of the 16-team playoff field will be announced at 1 p.m. today, and it would be an absolute shock if Delaware weren't awarded an at-large berth. There's a good chance that the Blue Hens will host a first-round game Saturday. If they do, tickets will go on sale Monday.
