By _halftime, the heckling had begun from the Youngstown fans as they hung rubber chickens from strings in the audience to signal Delaware's demise. "My father and I went to Youngstown and saw the famous game they call 'The Shootout,' " Buchanan said. "Youngstown was undefeated and I think we only had one loss. They were No. 1 and we were No. 2 in Division II. "We were down 31-7 at halftime. We scored every time we got the ball in the second half and won 51-45."
