Delaware State: Hornets' defense strong in first scrimmage

DOVER, Delaware  --  Kermit Blount was looking for mistakes more than perfection as the Delaware State football team held its first preseason scrimmage on Saturday morning.

Blount, entering his third season as the Hornets’ head coach, wanted to get all of those mistakes on film so the team can correct them before visiting Delaware for its season opener Sept. 7.

“It was pretty basic [Saturday],” Blount said of the scrimmage. “We did about 65 plays. We wanted to get our first one under our belt, not make it a full-out-fledged scrimmage, basically just a couple of basic things that we need to cover to make sure that we get these guys ready for the seventh of September.

“[It was] an opportunity to see their mistakes on film, and we can correct them. I’m hoping that they can grasp the fact that they did make some mistakes and have the opportunity to come back the next few weeks and correct them.”
