Delaware State’s Narrow Victory Over Stony Brook Reveals Surprising Hidden Strengths
Stony Brook was a pretty good passing offense last season, ranking third in the CAA with 236.6 yards per game and 16 total touchdowns. That’s on par with the best teams in the MEAC, as their 2025 passing numbers exceeded Norfolk State’s 218.2 yards per game and 20 touchdowns. So, the Seawolves are a good case study of what to expect from Delaware State’s defense if real improvements aren’t made through coaching and development during the season.

Legendary ESPN play-by-play commentator Mark Jones, who recently departed the network, is known for the sayings and idioms he used during the football and basketball games he called. One of his most famous calls is that a team is “playing with their food,” meaning they’re not showing a sense of urgency to increase their lead when they have the opportunity. That described Delaware State in this first game.
