Delaney, a sophomore from Manassas, Va., had the best
single-game rushing day in ODAC history as the Hornets came up
short in their comeback bid to defeat Emory & Henry, 42-34.
Delaney carried the ball a career-high 41 times against the
Wasps, racking up 321 yards to set new Shenandoah and ODAC
single-game records. It is also the fourth-most yards gained
by a rusher in NCAA Division III this season (thru games of 11/1).
He notched a trio of touchdowns on the ground, covering 18,
24 and 23 yards, respectively. The previous ODAC record for
single-game rushing yards was 310 set by former Emory & Henry
standout Oliver Jordan in 1998. Delaney added two catches for
11 yards and another score, giving him an SU record four touchdowns
for the game. His 332 all-purpose yards are the most this
season in the ODAC and the ninth-highest total in ODAC single-game
history. For the season, Delaney leads the ODAC with 1,174
rushing yards and a 130.4 yards per game average. He's run
the ball 179 times this season, second-most in the conference, and
averages 6.6 yards per rush.
