1946 Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens football team
The 1946 Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens football team represented the University of Delaware in the 1946 college football season, their first after a three-year hiatus due to World War II. The team was named AP small college national champion and won the Cigar Bowl against Rollins. They were led by fourth-year head coach William D. Murray and played the majority of their home games at Wilmington Park. The October 26 game against Drexel was the final game played at Frazer Field, and the last game played in Newark until the opening of Delaware Stadium in 1952. They were ranked in the AP Poll for the final three weeks of the season, the only time that they received that honor. The only other time Delaware would receive votes in the AP Poll would be in 2010.
