Dawn of a new era for Delaware State football

DOVER, Delaware -- The Delaware State football team was up with the rising sun Saturday inside Alumni Stadium.

With their first game under new coach Kenny Carter a week away, the Hornets can’t wait to get started.

The same could be said for Saturday’s crack-of-dawn practice, even though alarms had to be set early.

“That’s what you want to do,” said senior safety Terrick Colston, who woke at 4:30 a.m. for the 6 a.m. session, referring to the Hornets’ willingness to work. “I was one of the first ones in there, too.”

Delaware State has more difficult challenges ahead than wee-hours wakeups.

Liberty, which DSU visits Saturday night in Lynchburg, Virginia, is ranked No. 15 nationally in FCS.
