Congrats to NNA on their season opening win.  What does the loss to Cortland say about Brockport?  Is Cortland that good, or did Brockport just have a bad day?  Salisbury could really put them in a hole at 0-2, if they beat Brockport next week.
The Salisbury game was a typical first game of the year.  Some good things and some areas for improvement.  Dustin Johnson is just such an incredible athelete.  On the first touchdown, 2 or 3 guys had him in the backfield, he broke out of someone's grip and reversed his direction scoring 50 some yards later.  Westbrook also had a good game returning punts and kickoffs.  Salisbury just has some very good atheletes making plays.  They just need to get trough these first 4 weeks and take care of the ball.

John McGraw from D3football.com was at the Brockport/Cortland game today and offers some thoughts on the East region boards.  Plus he's very familiar with both teams.

That's going to be a big, big game in the ACFC next week with Salisbury and Brockport.  With that game and NNA-FSU, conference jumps up quickly.
I think it's going to be a very entertaining season in the ACFC.

I think it was a mixture of a vastly underrated Cortland defense and a bad day for Brockport...No, it isn't the end of the world, but with the schedule they have it's gonna be tough to stay competitive with any team if they play like this.

Congratulations to Salisbury and Newport News. I have to admit, I am a little dissappointed in the result of the Brockport game. I was hoping to see both Brockport and Salisbury on a roll going into their game next week. Also, did everyone see some of the new teams that Salisbury added on their schedule? I believe that Montclair and Christopher Newport both lost. Salisbury may have picked the right time to get these teams on the schedule. I just hope that they keep the strong schedule after players like Dustin Johnson, Andrew Deming and Westbrook graduate. Any early predictions on next weeks games? I really think that the Apprentice/Frostburg game is going to be a dogfight.

congrats to the gulls...dj is a special athlete and he certainly proved it today - sounded like satchell couldn't be stopped on the go-ahead drive in the 2nd quarter - when that offense is right, it's hard to stop - i just hope the monarchs came out of the game with some positives and know what it takes to compete at that level

for anyone who was at the game, i need some info. badly - listening on the internet it sounded as though roncketti (qb #2) missed the last 2 or 3 series of the first half - i didn't listen to the 2nd half (family obligations), but the initial box score on the ssu website had frosh a. bartee with 150+ yards passing and 40+ yards rushing - that box has been changed showing no pass attempts by bartee (i swear the ssu announcers said that he threw at least one pass on a 3rd and long just before half-time) and the game story talks about roncketti having a big day with 222 yards passing and 43 yards rushing - did roncketti play in the 2nd half??? - thanks

Ralph:

Thanks for the overview regarding the ACFC and the difficulty Salisbury may have advancing to the playoffs in a conference that does not have an automatic bid.

I just got home from a weekend trip.  I am very happy with the outcome of the Salisbury Methodist game.  I'm hoping Brockport continues their let down until after Salisbury plays them.
