NEWARK — University of Delaware and Delaware State athletic department officials have had preliminary discussions about scheduling their first regular-season football meeting, UD athletic director Edgar Johnson said Thursday.

The schools met for the first time in the 2007 NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, a first-round game won handily by the Blue Hens 44-7 at Delaware Stadium.

Prior to that, new Delaware president Patrick Harker had pledged to end UD’s perennial resistance to scheduling its in-state neighbor.

“It’ll get done,” Johnson said Thursday.
