Led by seventh-year head coach K. C. Keeler , the Fightin' Blue Hens compiled an overall record of 4–8 with a mark of 2–6 in conference play, placing fifth in place in the CAA's South Division. The team played home games at Delaware Stadium in Newark, Delaware . The 2008 season proved to be one of Delaware's worst seasons in its 117-year history.
