The 1946 Delaware State Hornets football team represented the State College for Colored StudentsâÂÂnow known as Delaware State UniversityâÂÂas a member of Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) in the 1946 college football season. The Hornets compiled a 5âÂÂ4 record under coach Tom Conrad. The Hornets were invited to three bowls after the season: the Cattle Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas, the Palmetto Bowl in Columbia, South Carolina, and the Flower Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida. They turned down offers from Texas and South Carolina to play against Florida N&I in the Flower Bowl. They won the game 7âÂÂ6 after blocking a conversion attempt at the end of the game. It is currently the only Delaware State bowl game win in history.
