wow, not sure where to start.  what a disappointing second half for wesley.  way too many mistakes to win a game.

16 - 0 at the half, take the second half kickoff and go in a score and the game is pretty much over.  fumbles on the first 2 possessions lets delval back in the game.  follow that with a bad punt and suddenly delval leads 17 - 16.  same problem as last year.

the defense did not stop delval in the second half, the only time they did they roughed the punter giving delval the ball back.  how many 15 yard down and ins can a team run before something is done to take it away?  when you hold a team to 71 yards rushing, and rush for 260 +,  you should win the game, but wesley was gasping for air in the 4th quarter and the defense could not make a play when they needed to.

how big was the missed extra point in the first half, the game is tied at 24 with the last delval t d and goes to o t, not a delval win.

15 penalties, wow i didnt know there were that many, but the field did look cluttered at times.

both teams were one dimensional, wesley with the run and delval with the pass.  it seemed to me that delval was content with getting beat by the run, but they were not going to give up a big pass play.  they covered most of what wesley usually does and deserve plenty of credit.  they also seemed to blitz at the right time and pressured schatz on almost every play action pass in the first half.

pawesley, not sure if i totally agree with you about jason.  although jason did not have a good first half, several of the overthrows were as a result of pressure and he seemed to throw them away.  this was not his best game, but it certainly was not his worst.

teamski, i am not sure what they were saying on the radio, but if jason was removed based on performance, why wasnt he taken out of the game at half time.  he was removed after the 2nd possession of the second half, both which ended with fumbles.  if the offensive coordinator was unhappy with the first half, why did jason start the second half.  he did not throw a pass in the second half until the last play of the game.  usually you change a qb for a change of pace, the play calling was the same after mcsweeney went in with similar results.  no big plays.

i believe that wesley was outcoached in the second half as they had no answer for what delval was doing on offense.  wesley also did not seem to make any adjustments on offense to get the passing game going, although i dont think they should have as the run was so successful.

luckily, the boys have another game next week to get things going in the right direction and prove that the preseason hype was not a mistake.

What does this do to Wesley's chances of making the playoffs?  With them playing one less game and no automatic bid from the conference, it can't help.  I bet SU can't wait to get their hands on this tape since they play both teams this year.  I would think they may need some help from other teams to make it now.

It knocks a big hole in them!

We have three Pool B bids.  Huntingdon can get one if they sweep their conference and beat HSC.

The UAA has found a way to get good numbers for the committee to review.  Look for one to break thru.

The Northwest Conference is now Pool A.

[gordonmann]

Bigtoe:

That depends on how many Pool B bids the NCAA allocates for independents and members of conferences with less than seven teams.  It'll be announced later in the season.  Keep in mind that the NWC has an automatic bid this year, which narrows the pool.

If there are three Pool B bids, I still think Wesley gets in without too much drama.  If there are two, they still have a good chance by running the table.  Either way the Salisbury game is huge now.

Still a lot of season left to play and Wesley has a TON of talent.  Pennewell, Wilson, etc.  This team is far from done.

I did not comment on Jason. Was someone elses post.

I agree running the table will help, but with only 5 in region games it will be tough.
But with Widener,Del Val and Salisbury the quality points should be high.

ralph

Even though the game was cancelled can Wesley still get Quality Pts from CNU
Just a thought

I don't think so.  There is no game outcome to evaluate.

pawesley, sorry if i got the wrong name from the post.

[muledaddy]

Wesleydad,

As you said earlier, "its time to talk about the game......it will not be close....
Wesley will win 38-17..."
for giving me a sesson in what not to say or do this year
Thank you, reminding me that humility, rather than arrogance and overconfidence,
is a quality to seek.

I pray that I do not make the same fatal mistake as you did in this one;no guarantees, only my prayers.

Have a good rest of the season...there is something to be said for anonymity...I could feel the
pressure on your son before the game ever started...............

[muledaddy]

  Delval Aggies,

Congrats on a hard fought come from behind victory,earned the old fashioned way....hard work.
