NEWARK, Del. — The Delaware Blue Hens relied on a 4-2 front to plug the middle and an All-American safety named Anthony Bratton attacking the perimeter to slow the Georgia Southern triple option attack in Saturday’s semifinal playoff game. In the end, Georgia Southern’s four fumbles were the downfall as the Eagles (10-5) fell 27-10 Saturday in the semifinals of the FCS playoffs, but the scheme worked as intended for the Blue Hens. The Delaware front six held GSU fullback Robert Brown to 49 yards on 13 carries and UD free safety Anthony Bratton finished with a career-high 14 tackles.
