Sometimes things do not go your way. Other times, the opposing team is just better than you. And then there are days when both are true.

Maryland ran the ball 37 times for 196 yards and two scores and completed 15 of 18 passes for another 219 yards en route to a 27-9 win that was not nearly as close as the score indicated.

Delaware was moving the ball effectively on the ground early in the game but would stall on a crucial third down. Then Maryland adjusted and shut the run game down almost the entire second half.

Hens' QB Pat Devlin had a rough game getting sacked three times and hit several others. He finished the game with 214 yards passing including a late touchdown to Nihja White but the game was out of reach at that point.

Phillip Thaxton continued to run the ball well gaining 50 yards on 11 carries. However, with the team falling behind big in the third quarter they had to all but abandon the running game.

Jay Pena lead the team with 12 tackles, a sign things are not going well when a safety leads the team in tackles.

The Blue Hens travel to Philly next Saturday to take on a 2-1 Temple team. Temple is an up-and-coming program and is playing well defensively.

Delaware desperately needs to rebound with a big game or this season could start to snowball quickly.
