Scouting the Hornets
DSU enters the season in defense of its first league championship since 1991. In 2007, the Hornets were undefeated in the MEAC and qualified for the program's first NCAA playoffs. They own a three-game win streak over the Rattlers. Thirteen starters return from a team that set a school record for victories in a season (10). DSU's only losses were to Division I-A Kent State and Delaware in the first round of the I-AA playoffs. With DSU trying new tweaks on offense, it will again rely on the consistency of its defense and special teams. Returning linebackers Josh Pope and Jackie Watkins combined for 14 tackles-for-loss and 3.5 sacks a year ago. DSU added Syracuse transfers Donta Herrod and Quinton Brown in the defensive backfield, two players who should provide leadership.
