SSU, Delaware State square off in MEAC opener

SAVANNAH, Georgia  -- “Thank God, it’s Delaware State.”

“Thank God, it’s Savannah State.”

Coaches and players at Savannah State and Delaware State might not be saying this, but you get the feeling they can’t help but be relieved to see each other when they meet tonight at 6 at T.A. Wright Stadium in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opener for both schools.

SSU (1-3) had mismatches with Georgia Southern, Troy and Miami during the first month of the season.

DSU (0-3) kicked off with Delaware, FCS No. 3 Towson and No. 1 North Dakota State.

It didn’t go well for either school. Savannah State was outscored 220-19 in its three meetings with FBS teams, including a 77-7 loss to the Hurricanes a week ago.
