Mandatory Credit: Troy Babbitt-USA TODAY Sports Delaware State football's long trip to face Hawaii in the team's season opener just got longer.
The Star-Advertiser in Honolulu reported Tuesday that the Hornets missed their scheduled 10.5-hour flight to the city because of what was termed "a bus snafu" as the team attempted to reach John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. A spokeswoman for Delaware State told the outlet that officials were "working on a plan" to get the team to Hawaii.
The game is scheduled for Saturday at 6 p.m. local time. The Rainbow Warriors haven't played an HBCU team since they met Prairie View A&M in 1979, and it will be their first-ever meeting against Delaware State.
Hawaii has a 20-game winning streak against FCS teams dating back to 2011, with an average win margin of 25.9 points per game.
Hawaii finished the 2023 season with a 5-8 record (3-5 Mountain West Conference). Delaware State was 1-10 (0-5 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference).
