What about FDU Junior quarterback Bill Winters : 17-for-30 for 272 with two touchdowns, ran for another 143 yards on 22 carries with four touchdowns on the ground, including that game-winner from three yards out with 0:19 left in regulation ... I think he should be a candidate for player of the week as well....

Albright played tough against Salisbury but lost 30-28
10-0 at half time ..... Offenses cam to play in the second half.

Not bad after last years ass whoopin

im very worried about that dvc offense, they played terrible in the first half. i hope it was just because of the rain. dvc will have to play 100 times better against wesley next week and will now be huge underdogs. im very happy by how the MAC teams played this week. every game was close and competitive. i cant wait for these MAC games to start. and congrats to the MAC teams who won this week, (FDU, Kings, Leb Val).

I am not nearly as disappointed as you DVC. Although they made a few mistakes and costly turnovers in the game I thought they responded well to the adversity of a 21 - 0 hole. It's not like they didn't move the ball on the ground well because they did. In fact they outgained the Iona team on the ground. Considereing their run offense last year against Iona was almost non existent I feel this was a real positive for them.

The defense stiffened and controlled the second half until the late interception took the air out of the rally! Considering that Iona offensive line almost averaged 290 pounds, which dwarfed the Aggie defense, they held firm for the most paart.

Looking forward to this weeks Wesley game. It will be a test but anyone who saw last year's contest knows that the Aggies can stay on the field with Wesley if not beat them if some things go their way. Though they only lost last year's contest due to the extreme heat. Looking for a tight hard hitting game!

DVC, while it was a disappointing loss, mostly because Iona was not a better team than the Aggies, I think it's important to see some strong positives come out of a game played in horrific conditions. With the exception of the first drive, the O-line was impressive allowing all the running backs to gain good yardage, while opening some impressive holes. Obviously, the QB/center snap issues must be resolved as that was a major problem, but could be attributed to the weather and the passing game is hard to guage since neither team could pass in those conditions, but if you can run the ball effectively week-in-week-out, and at least pass efficiently, you can win.

It sounds as if the MAC is going to be a dogfight every week, and the Aggies should certainly be right in that mix. The next two opponents will be challenging, as both possess some outstanding speed, but either way DVC will be able to work through some growing pains with young guys, and be prepared for the conference schedule when it starts on October 4

Bill:

Yowser.  I stand corrected.  What a performance by Winters.

[wesleydad]

kingsting, be careful what you wish for.  delval played almost a perfect game last year and still lost.  wesley had 4 turnovers and was still able to win.  granted they will have to protect the ball better then last year or it will be a close game, if not it wont be.  since wesley's o line is at least as big as iona's with all 5 returning from last year it could be a long day for delval.

i think dvcfan must have been at last years game to make that statement.  he is aware of how good wesley may be this year.

here is hoping that the weather will be good.

since we travel pretty well, what are the tailgating restrictions at delval.  i find it funny how many campuses claim to be dry, but if you keep it under control all is good.  what do we need to know when we visit since we are in it for a good time as well as seeing a good game.  any info you guys can pass my way i will get it to the other wesley fans.  thanks.

Wesley Dad, we're all aware of last year's game, and yes the Aggie "D" did cause the Wolverines to cough up the ball a few times, however, the Aggie "O" was slow to materialize last year(and yes Wesley's D was a big part of that)and it took them until the Salisbury game before Isgro and company found themselves. It's quite obvious that Wesley is a great team and it will be a good guage for the Aggies to see where they'll stand in the MAC.

As for the tailgating, good luck with Public Works they were a bit confrontational last week and are stepping up their efforts to curb alcohol on site.

[KingSting999]

Wow, now that you explained to us how overmatched we will be, Wesleydad, I will put a phone call in to the AD and see if we can't have the game forfeited to you! Once evryone finds out how good you are (on Paper) no one will even bother to play you. Question, can you get into the playoffs with an 0 - 0 record?

[CJSJAGS]

Guaranteed Wesleydad is probably one of those disgruntled Delaware parents that thinks their son should of been playing D1 somewhere.

[Pat Coleman]

Funny comments coming from a couple of new posters to a guy who's been here a while. Welcome to the board and all that, but this isn't one of those boards where we take misspelled shots at each other.

[KingSting999]

I apologize Pat, but I believe he fired the first salvo by inferring the Aggies were lucky last year. I did not see the game that way and I don't think honestly you did either.

By the way, you took a bit of a shot yourslef with the spelling comment, but hey I can dig it. I like your style!

Go Aggies !!!!! and let the best team win.

P.S. I mwy be new to posting but I have followed this site since for years, I belueve you call them lurkers .

[wesleydad]

fear, thanks for the heads up on the tailgating.  we will keep it in mind as we plan for the game.

king, it is your belief that based on last years game delval has a chance to win.  since last years game has very little to do with this years, i based my opinion on what i have heard about delval so far this year.  i believe i read where they struggled in the scrimmage with ursinus, who by the way played well beating alfred this weekend.  i also listened to the game this weekend and although i am sure the weather had an effect on both teams, i did not hear much that makes me think that if wesley does not turn the ball over delval has a chance.

as far as me inferring anything, i dont bother inferring, i will tell u what i think.  wesley is expected to be better on offense this year and delval is not expected to be as good on defense, that combination may be trouble for delval.  obviously you didnt read the entire post or only chose the parts to argue with, i said the the game will be close if wesley does not protect the ball.

since nothing matters until the game is played and all of this is just conjecture, but wesley is expected to be very good, you dont get ranked 3 in the nation by chance.  that is why we have conversation.  you can point out why you believe delval will win and i will gladly read your comments and respond in kind.

as pat said, welcome to the board and i look forward to exchanging ideas about this weeks game with all the delval supporters, you guys traveled well last year and i only hope that wesley will do the same, although from what i read on this site earlier, not sure if the visitor stands will be that good for us if we do .

As another Bill predicted, Bill Winters was the MAC's offensive POW.  Defensive honors went to Dane Eichelberger (Leb Val) and special teams honors to Colt Zarilla (Leb Val).
