How to watch as Delaware visits Vanderbilt in first game vs. SEC foe
Blue Hens coach Ryan Carty expects to see second-game improvement while knowing Commodores present stiff challenge
Delaware football coach Ryan Carty expressed excitement about hosting SEC foe Vanderbilt in the team's first game of the season on September 12 at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. While Delaware may be overmatched, they prefer not to be overwhelmed, as Vanderbilt has a way to go themselves after a 10-3 2025 season that still left the team outside the nation's top 10 rankings.
The Blue Hens beat FCS visitor Merrimack 42-7 in their opener, but Carty noted they weren't as polished as he had hoped, a common occurrence for opening night. Vanderbilt, meanwhile, won 28-9 against Austin Peay, another FCS foe. Delaware coach Carty and Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea both emphasized the importance of playing hard, fast, physical, and tough football to emerge victorious.
