Lavan confident despite 7th position.
Delaware State University was picked Friday to finish seventh in this year's MEAC football race and that did not stun Hornets head coach Al Lavan. "I'm not surprised by the preseason rankings, given the number of question marks surrounding our team this season," Lavan said in a press release.
South Carolina State was picked to win its third straight MEAC title this fall. The Bulldogs collected 15 of 18 first-place votes and 315 total votes. Florida A&M was picked second, garnering two first-place votes and 268 total votes. Delaware State collected 120 votes. Lavan is 38-28 in six seasons with the Hornets, including 30-18 in MEAC contests. The Hornets begin their preseason football camp on Aug. 10.
Delaware State opens its 2010 season on Sunday, Sept. 5, against Southern University (La.) in the sixth annual MEAC/SWAC Challenge in Orlando, Fla. The contest, which will kickoff at noon, will be broadcast live on ESPN and ESPN3. com.
DSU's home opener takes place on Sept. 11 against Florida A&M with a 6 p.m. starting time. Delaware State (4-7, 3-5 MEAC) finished tied with Hampton and North Carolina A&T for sixth place in the MEAC last season.
