The University of Delaware continued its dominance of Delaware State University on the gridiron Thursday night.

UD topped DSU 31-13 in the 2019 season opener for both schools.  The Blue Hens are now 9-0 all-time against the Hornets.

Quarterback Pat Kehoe led UD, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for a third.

The Hens, ranked 22nd in the nation to start the season,  head to Rhode Island next week.

Delaware State gets a week off before trying to rebound in its home opener against Lincoln Sept. 14th in Dover.
