Salisbury 79 Becker 20

so much for listening to weather projections, it rained or drizzled almost to game time.  once the game started it was clear that wesley was better, just took too long to get that through to brockport.  have to improve the run defense to beat salisbury next week.  i would not want to try to defend the wesley offense, running the ball like they do and the passing game making the plays to keep drives alive.  3 td passes today were easy because of the run.  i am looking forward to next week against salisbury, let the hype begin. wesley will win this game because of the balanced attack and the early games that they won despite playing poorly.  if anyone gets to visit brockport in the future make sure to put macgregors on your visit.  about 30 minutes south in henrietta and has 100 or so beers on draft and good food.  this was a fun trip and a win makes it better.

Salisbury 79 Becker 20

Talk about running up the score!

  I noticed that Salisbury did average over 10 yrds/ carry. Other than taking a knee I don't know what else you do, I would think the Becker would opt out of s rematch next year  

[Ralph Turner]

Becker and Salisbury have the same problem.   They are independents needing games.

Remember Brockport moves to the NJAC next year as does Morrisville State.  That means that the 10-member NJAC only has 10 games to give for non-conference games.

Do the teams in the MAC want to play Salisbury?  They have 3 non-conference games per team.

I don't know.

I don't know if they are scheduled or not for next year.. But wouldn't be the first time a team got whipped and decided not to play the following year.

Also Becker is joining Mt Ida , Suny Maritime and  few others in a new football/conference

Nice job, NNA......Well done!

[SU Backer]

       Salisbury had their 2nd/3rd team O-line, scout Qb and 4th/5th team running backs in the game and were still scoring while running fullback dive plays.....those kids were just playing hard when they got their chance. This game was not good for either team, but it did not appear that the SU coaches were trying to run it up, it just happened. I'll say this-the Becker freshman Qb, Gabriel Proffitt (sp?), is as good a "natural" talent as I have seen this year, next to Tanner Kelly @ Albright.
        Now on to Dover!
       We lost a starting tackle @ Morrisville and he didn't play yesterday, hopefully he will be back for next week. He will be needed to help slow down Robinson.
     Honestly, I feel Salisbury deserves a playoff bid regardless of next week, but there are lots of folks that think their 1 or 2 loss team deserves a bid-and have valid arguments to support the claim. SU can make that a moot point by taking care of business on the field.
     If payback figures into Saturday's game as far as motivation (in addition to the postseason), the Gulls certainly owe Wesley for the drubbing we took there 2 years ago!
      Let's GO GULLS!!

Let the chatter begin as the Battle of Route 13 week is here.  It's also the first time this year that Salisbury (9) is ranked ahead of Wesley (10) in the DIII poll.

GO GULLS !!!

[SU Backer]

     I see that move ahead in the polls and wonder what the reason was....we played a team at home that was obviously overmatched and Wesley went on the road ( a long bus ride as well ) and beat Bport,  which is as physical as Del Valley and probably very close talent wise to them as well .  I'm certainly proud of SU this year and as I said before, the poll rankings are nice, but Wesley doesn't need any more fuel for their fire!
     Also Pat and Keith cannot attend Saturday- I remember the last time you all came and watched this matchup there  .
GO GULLS!!

[wesleydad]

su backer, i noticed and thought the same thing.  go on the road and defeat what many percieve to be a pretty tough team and dominate the second half and drop in the polls, being passed by a squad that beat an 0 - 6 team at home.  thats what makes polls interesting to look at.  you are correct, wesley does not need any more fuel for this game and i am not sure if the will even pay attention to it.  they want to get back to the playoffs and know that beating salisbury is what is needed.  this is going to be a fun game.  the crowd is going to be large and loud.  if you are coming up, get there early, especially if you are going to tailgate.  look me up, it would be nice to meet you.  i usually park near the fenced in playground.  hoping that the weather does not effect the game.  turf field helps, but it will be better for both teams if it is not raining or too windy, always windy in dover, just not too windy this week.

[Pat Coleman]

I think if you take a bit of a wider glance at the factors affecting both teams you might get some ideas. For example, remember who Wesley lost to.

[SU Backer]

   Pat, good point, at first I thought you wrote "take a wider stance"......I know that got that senator from Iowa in a lot of trouble , but then I re-read it and saw a "wider glance"! Yes I see what you mean, the Montclair loss does look worse now than at the time it happened, as Montclair has been getting knocked around since then. That game was  the late start/last minute officials game, and Montclair was pretty highly thought of at that time. I see how that Wesley loss, and Montclair's subsequent record skews the data more now. I have to admit, you guys are darn good at thinking the poll through in a relatively short time each week. I just hope we are in front of them in next week's poll!!!!!
GO GULLS!!!
