Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

[rams1102]

Frostburg always plays Montclair tough. We are in a rebuilding year. We will get better every game and hope to be ready for conference play on 10-1. MSU-20  Frostburg-10. Then we play the Gulls the following week. The Gulls sound like a real handfull.

LET'S  GO  MIGHTY  RED  HAWKS  !!!!!!!!!!!!

Dustin Johnson got some "Pub" under today's lead article "Statistical Spotlight".  Four Touchdown (2 passing for 126 yds. and 2 rushing for 126 yards) are impressive.

I think this week Leroy Satchell along with DJ are going to charge through CNU's defense.

Today's Wesley game  shows why the USA SOUTH won't invite the Wolverines for football only!!!! Congrats to the Builders. I have been watching them for ten years and they have always had some great athletes. Looks like some of them stuck around for more than a year!!

congrats on the win...wesley is a very good team from everything i hear, but the usasac doesn't need another team, especially a football only team - there are now 7 football playing teams in the conference - i sincerely doubt the strength of wesley's football program (as measured against a bottom tier usasac team missing one of it's best players, i might add) has anything to do with the decision, either

ssu vs. cnu should be a very interesting...cnu has played 2 very different games against 2 very different teams - i think cnu's defense is better than how they played against rowan, but they will have their hands full - dj and co. are VERY tough to stop - if i were a cnu fan, i'd be concerned with how the cnu offense has played (not very well), particularly the way the capts. have struggled to run the ball early in the season - despite scoring 53 points last week, they only gained 271 total yards against maryville

Narch:

Good analysis on the Rowan/CNU matchup.  Rowan's primary running weapon Ulysees Encarnacion (#3) ran rough shod thru CNU.  Encarnacion has really developed into a good running back.  I saw him play a few times in high school and he was pretty tough then, but somewhat raw.  The Rowan football program has developed a pretty good RB in this kid.

Back to the Salisbury/CNU matchup.  If CNU had difficulty stopping one running back, how are the gona stop both DJ and Leroy?  Additionally, Salisbury has some decent WR's that DJ can roll out and hit to take pressure off the running game.  The gulls will miss DeHaven, but their Defense is still intact.

Pat Coleman and Gordon Mann:

Any chance of you guys going to the Salisbury/CNU game this weekend for reports and photos?

[Pat Coleman]

Not me, unfortunately.

Gordon covers another school on a weekly basis and joins me for Game of the Week when he can during the regular season and covers playoff games and the like. I have to be at home or near home for the next two weekends, so my travel is limited. CNU is a little out of my range right now.

Pat:

Hopefully Salisbury makes the playoffs again this year and move past the first round, and we get to see you guys.

[Pat Coleman]

I haven't ruled out the Wesley game.

  I am going to the Wesley game this week. But I won't get back here until after midnight!! Sorry the Downs is right on my route!!!
  I will let you know the progression of Mr. Warrick and how fast Beavers is. My opinion is this,  If Warrick pushed himself and improved his running speed and elusiveness like Visconti did he may well break Visconti's records and lead Wesley to the playoffs. One nice thing about not having a kid playing is being able to be more objective.

There was talk about Wesley joining the U.S.A. south two years ago and a few posters here said Wesley was not asked because of they weren't academically on a par with other school in the conference. Actually Wesley would have
been ranked second academically.
  And as far as Wesley not getting in as a football only school,  You are correct. If they had gone with a few football only schools Wesley probably would have been included. The travel for other sports would be prohibitive.

The song Dr. Seagull currently has in his cd player:

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away

GO CAPS!

im really excited about the CNU and SU game. This will really show what the GULLS are all about this year. Wesley looks really good this year. Beavers is by far the fastest player that the school has ever seen. He just blows by people. The scary thing about the wolverine recieving corp is that it Lanouette and Gore hasnt began to shine yet and they are two very good recievers. Not as fast as beavers and lee, but definitly sure catches. Another thing is the the running game hasnt even clicked yet. Its great to see Beavers and LEE shine for the corp. This recieving coprs reminds me of the year when visconti had Able, Wright, Choidi, Lowe, and Cosby. Heres an interesting question i would like to put out there. When wesley plays salisbury...is westbrook now going to have to play beavers. If he does...what do you do with the rest of the recieving corp?!?!?! I cant wait for that game. Wesley looks really explosive this year and i think it will be a shootout with them and salisbury. Just a question to put out there.

Wesley 35

Actually Wesley would have
been ranked second academically.

how would this have been determined? graduation rate? retention rate? avg. gpa? avg. sat?...not trying to be smart, just wondering by whom and how they would have been ranked...

swish - nice to see you on the acfc board...why don't you join us for some discussion on the usasac board...i'd love to get your take on the points i have made re: cnu's "offensive struggles" in a 53-2 route (only 89 yards on 34 plays from the first team offense, but 3 td's and 2 fg's on the scoreboard)

[luvapontiac]

Didn't we have the whole academic rankings discussion last year and get nowhere with it?
