(STATS) -- A tumultuous turn of events has Delaware in a highly unusual position as it prepares for an unfamiliar opponent.With co-defensive coordinator Dennis Dottin-Carter now in charge, the reeling Blue Hens enter their first-ever meeting with No. 24 Stony Brook attempting to avoid their first five-game losing streak since 1939.Its been a whirlwind last few days for a Delaware program among the most tradition-rich at the FCS level. The Blue Hens squandered an 11-point lead in last Saturdays 24-17 loss at William & Mary to fall to 0-3 in CAA play, triggering the dismissal of head coach Dave Brock the following day.The players are hurt, without a doubt, Dottin-Carter said. So my message to them was we need to be together. We need to, as (athletic director) Chrissi (Rawak) put it, weve got to pivot and move forward.The Blue Hens last four-game skid also prompted a change in leadership, as the administration ended K.C. Keelers otherwise successful 11-year reign after a 5-6 finish in 2012. But while Keeler was taking Sam Houston State to consecutive FCS semifinals appearances over the past two seasons and a current No. 1 ranking in the STATS Top 25, Brock was unable to elevate UD out of its mid-level standing in CAA Football during his 3 1/2-year tenure.Though sagging attendance and increasing fan apathy surely played a part in the decision, Brock ultimately couldnt complete the season because his team wasnt able to close out games. After being outscored 15-7 in the fourth quarter in a 28-21 home loss to Maine on Oct. 8, Delaware (2-4) surrendered 21 straight points over a 7 1/2-minute span in the final period last week in Williamsburg.Thats what this conference is about, winning games in the fourth quarter, Dottin-Carter said. We had put ourselves in the position we actually want to be in, having an opportunity in the fourth quarter, but weve got to finish.Dottin-Carters first foe as an interim head coach has had no such issues. Stony Brook (4-2, 3-0) has outscored the opposition 55-3 in the second half in winning its first three CAA games. After putting forth a sluggish and penalty-marred offensive performance through three quarters last week against Rhode Island, the rising Seawolves responded with two touchdown drives in the fourth to pull out a 14-3 victory.Youve got to play the fourth quarter of every game and weve been able to do that two weeks in a row, come out and take charge in the fourth quarter and play through adversity, coach Chuck Priore said. So I think were growing up that way.The Seawolves also rallied late to deal No. 19 North Dakota a 13-9 defeat in the season opener, one of two signature 2016 wins for a program thats stepping out of its recent run of mediocrity. After joining the CAA in 2013 following a dominant four-year stretch in the Big South, Stony Brook went 10-14 in league games over its first three seasons and didnt finish higher than fifth in any of those years.An improved ground game headed by FBS transfers Stacey Bedell and Jordan Gowins has helped spark the revival, as has the play of an always-stingy defense coordinated by Delaware native and former Blue Hens assistant Lyle Hemphill. The Seawolves rank in the FCS top 15 in total yards allowed (306.3 ypg), rushing defense (105.7 ypg) and yards allowed per rush attempt (3.2).Delaware, which has never started 0-4 in league play during its 30-year history of conference affiliation, hopes to combat the Seawolves strength with a relentless rushing attack which averages over 270 yards and could have top back Wes Hills available. The junior missed the William & Mary game with a leg injury but amassed a career-high 242 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries against Maine.Theyre a physical team, so weve got to match their physicality, Priore said. Theyve got some good backs coming at you in the run game. Theyll control the game if you let them, so youve got to be able to make their first-down carries be one and two yards and put them in a little longer situation for second and third down.

Two of them resulted in Miguel Britos being sent off in the 90th minute after the defender received a second yellow card for tugging back Xherdan Shaqiri.I was very angry at that moment with the referee and the time he gave at the end, Mazzarri said. I went into the dressing room and gave Mark my hand. I forget in that moment.But I was angry with the referee for not giving a lot off time and the decisions he gave.dddddddddddd You have to look at the whole game; the fouls, the goal they scored and the yellow cards. Anyone can have a bad day. And this time he had a bad day.Hughes was unimpressed after Mazzarri left him hanging on the touchline.Im a little disappointed, Hughes said. It is something maybe the foreign managers dont always do and they need reminding it is something we do over here.Mind you, British managers are in a minority these days so maybe we shouldnt expect it. It was an emotional game and I think he was a bit emotional afterwards. He needed to be reminded, and Ive shaken hands with him since.Despite Stoke being depleted by injuries to Ryan Shawcross and Glenn Whelan as well as a suspension for Joe Allen, the patched-up side was still too much for lethargic Watford.Stoke climbed up to 10th place, two places and two points behind Watford.
