This whole thing on questioning the offensive play calling or whatever your implying  is not really relevant to what needs done. Knapps gonna make some good calls and some bad, but no matter the call if the players dont execute there job then it looks like a bad call.  The coaches prepare a game plan each week and put the players in a position to gain positive yards. In the end the players have to step up against the stiffer competition and execute, which they have not done yet in the semi's.  Mount was just a better team last year(Cecil Shorts). The coaches can only take you so far!!
Go Wesley

 Question the coaches?  About what?
  your starter say's he Ok to go after coming out of the game and he goes back in.
    They went with what they thought gave them the best chance to win the game.  This game was more about the Jimmy and Joe's not the X's and O's.
   UMHB was the better team and If you turn it over the way Wesley did, you generally lose.

the bitter Dad routine is way over played

 I agree It wasnt as bad as DelVal. But not what we're used to. Worst offensive game since DelVal.

 Ive seen Wesley play every game this year and that was the worst they looked all year except for the
DelVal game. Like you said the Mules D played a good game. If Wesley plays that way in Texas they will be at home the next week.

   Because of the rule change when a player goes out of bounds the clock still runs. Therfore all teams have about an average of 10 less plays a game (give or take a couple). So everyone #'s will be a little lower from past years.
   As far as the play calling goes I think hard to question the Wesley coach's with their track record.(even though we all do it) Second down and 1 yard to go from the 4 yard line and I'm talking to my computer screen to quarterback sneak twice. Then on 4th down i'm saying go for it and if that does'nt work we wonder why we just didnt take the 3 pts when we had it. Bottom line is Drass and Knapp have forgotten more football then most of us will ever know. With that being said I would like to see them open it up the offense a little more. I know its there.
 
Does anyone know if Pennewell will be 100% for UMHB?

 

Wesley wins. Watched the game online. I would like to say thank you to the defense. They got it done in a big way, they get a game ball.
  The Offense had an ugly game at times, should have scored 40. Hope they where holding back for UMHB.  I would comment on the kicking game if they had one.
  Ill take an ugly win. Texas here we come.

 Welcome Waterboy,
I have to agree with you. McSweeny will have to be on his A game though. The Mules like to biltz and gamble on  D which might cause some trouble but if they guess wrong Wesley has the right play called they will make some big plays downfield and if McSweeny gets by the blitz he will run for lots of yards. 

Prediction: Wesley 34 Mules 21

 Wesleydad sorry. gave you the stats you asked for.
I  stand corrected. Beavers did play last year against UMHB. My appologies thanks
for the correction. 
  My first comment was just stating that wesley got hosed for being a 7 seed. sorry that struck a nerve.

 Thats the same thing Wesley heard the the last time they went to UMHB. They went down there and smacked them in the mouth. Beavers only had 3 TDs that time and about 200yds receiving.
  Last year they were without Beavers and McSweeny if you recall. Wesley has to many weapons on offense. UMHB has not seen a team with this much balance on offense. The only team out there thats going to beat them in the South is themselves. If they dont drop it on the ground they will be fine.
  UMHB lost to Southern Oregon. Willamette beat Southern Oregon. I saw Willamette play 2 weeks ago and have to say I was not to impressed.
  UMHB should root for the Mules.
 

 Wesleydad I'm not trying to dis Schatz in any way. I think any QB that wins 11 d3 games in a season is got to be good. Schatz has a huge arm thats for sure, but not as accurate as McSweeny. You need to be able to hit your 5 and 10 yard passes with a high percentage and that is what McSweeny does very well. Also, he's like having another RB in the backfield. To me the  stat that stands out is Schatz last year completed 52% of his passes and McSweeny has completed 69% along with 320 yds on the ground. The yards are not really important, but what is is the questions can you convert on 3rd and short consistently and hit your targets more often than not. Thats backing up my comment, I do believe.  Ive seen both play and this is not a stat but McSweeny seems  more composed in the pocket.
  We seem to root for the same team and I am glad Wesley has a quality backup QB in case anything happens to the starter. I am not trying to start a "vendetta" or anything, Im just giving a reason why Wesley should fare well up at Muhlenberg this week.

  GOT BEAVERS? THEY DO. Larry Beavers that is. Good luck to the South Region teams who have to go threw this special teams nightmare of trying to figure out,  should we kick to him or pouch it to the 40 yard line?
   Talk about no respect. Wesley gets the 7th seed? Get your head out of the sand. Lets not forget that only 2 teams (MU and UW) have more wins than Wesley in the last 4 years.   Sorry Mules, you got the short end of that stick. Last years 21- 38 loss at Wesley is coming to your house only with a better team than last year.     Big reason why is QB McSweeny, a huge upgrade from last year and has only played 1 or 2 4th quarters this year. One of them was the 1st game of the season which he didnt start, which is there only loss. 
   Bottom line is that Wesley should have been a 2,3 or 4 seed. But the South Region will find that out soon enough.

  Congrats to Wesley for a huge win.  McSweeny has a big day today on the gound (77 1TD) and in the air (203 2TD). Lanouette is a man amongst boys. It was  the Gulls plan to take Beavers out of the game and they did a good job at that but just gave up to much field possition on there kickoffs. Amazing how Beavers has a big impact on offense and barrely gets the ball. When is to much attention to much? Props to Salisbury's QB. Sounded like he's what makes that offense go. Sean Matthews was all over the place on D. Drass has got to happy with the defense performance.  On to Ohio for a tune up against Lake Erie.
   

 McSweeney is going to have a big game today. Since he's been the starter he's played 1 fourth quarter.  He takes care of the football and is very accurate, this what Wesley lacked last year. This kid is the answer to Chris Warrick. Coach Knapp is going to pull out all stops today and McSweeney will be let loose on the ground and in the air. Like I said if Wesley holds on to the ball this game wont be close.

Prediction:   Wesley 38  Salisbury 17

Hey All
I'm new to the D3 Post patterns but have been viewing them for some time. I am a Wesley fan and wish I could be at this game in Salisbury.  I think this game is going to be decided on who can hold on to the ball. Both teams have not done this well all year. I know Wesley's loss to Del Val was in part to turnovers and penalty's. Salisbury is also in the negative when its comes to turnover ratio. Who ever gives the ball up on a short field probably wont make the playoffs. That being said if turnovers are not a factor Wesley's Offense is to balanced and Salisbury will have there hands full with the tandem of Pennewell and Jackson.
