But Delaware has also been inconsistent, as its last six football games indicate.

Delaware had 421 total yards against Richmond, 319 against Elon and 340 against Towson.

But the Blue Hens also managed just 152 at North Dakota State, 177 at New Hampshire and 268 in Saturday’s 21-16 win at Albany.

Of that, a major chunk came on the 11-play, 83-yard drive that ended with Kani Kane’s decisive 14-yard touchdown run with 18 seconds left as Delaware managed to barely thwart Albany’s upset bid.

Coach Danny Rocco had suggested after Saturday’s game that Delaware was perhaps “a little bit too predictable” at times. In explaining that further Monday, Rocco said Delaware stayed fairly basic with its offensive strategy.

“I didn’t feel we really blocked very well when you come right down to it,” Rocco said of Saturday's game. “I thought they beat us to the punch a little bit, getting off the ball. I thought they were a little more physical at the point of attack and I thought they played with a little more passion on defense than we did on offense.

“Those three things are not a formula for success when you are wanting to establish a run game.”

Windy weather made passing the football a bit more difficult at Albany, with 56 of Pat Kehoe’s 174 yards throwing coming on that final series.

Wide receiver Jamie Jarmon, who has missed three games with a leg injury, is likely to miss a fourth this week.
