Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

As far as the Wesley offense goes, I believe they just played it a little closer to the vest this week with a lead and windy conditions.

Why do anything flashy when your defense is playing that well and you are on the road?

No turnovers and a solid defense will win you a lot of football games in those conditions.

Beavers was a big part in their first scoring drive. He drew a pass interference call on the first play to get them into Mule territory and had a 22-yard reverse on the next play before Jackson finished it off.

Granted, they will have to play much better this week to win. They missed a couple of field goals and an extra point. A 17-yard sack moved them out of scoring position on one drive and a couple of holding penalties killed two others.

I don't think we will be hearing from muledaddy .. It's fine to beat the drum for your team and to be Rah,Rah but most of the time he was boarderline obnoxious..
Sometimes he would retract but he did hit a lot of nerves and his karma showed it..

@d3jason · November 24, 2008, 07:21:51 PM

I tried not to take him to seriously. He went overboard quite a bit but it was entertaining.

PA_wesleyfan · November 24, 2008, 07:30:14 PM

Oh I didn't take him to seriously either. There have been many ahead of him and will be many after him that take it to extreems. If you really want to be entertained go read some of those E8 posts.

The love there is great

But you know, at the end he manned up and congratulated Wesley. I even gave him a +k after that.

I think that all of us who have followed D3 a long time can relate to the "we're undefeated, so we're going to kick everyone's keester" syndrome from the first time our team was in a similar position.

Ron-

Are you making the trip to Belton Saturday?

SU Backer · November 24, 2008, 07:43:13 PM

Congrats Gulls!....another great season has come to an end. Going out with a big comeback win in the ECAC game vs. Moravian ....they should finish the season ranked as one of the top 25 teams on the D3 poll. Wesley is just what I expected as they rolled Muhlenburg, I have said all along I think they win this region....playing my Gulls every year helps Wesley immensely when they play a UMHB, because a big part of what makes option teams successful is their opponents rarely see it and have trouble stopping it for a entire game. Wesley sees one of the best option teams in the country every year, so UMHB is not a huge adjustment. Wesley in a close one on the road...

Ron

I agree and he also is dealing with his sons injury and surgery. The others that met him last weekend did say he was an O.K. dude. And anyone who follows his team faithfully can't be all bad

Conrad

Do you and Len get the whole hour for pregame this week?

@d3jason · November 24, 2008, 10:07:04 PM

The first half hour is the WDEL Saturday Football center, where Len reviews the high school football scores and there's usually a Delaware segment with KC Keeler. No UD football this week they had a tough year, the transfer QB didn't work out for them this year for the Hens as in past years (Joe Flacco and Andy Hall.)

Both high school title games feature teams from downstate for the first time ever (I think!) Most of the population in Delaware is upstate near Wilmington so folks here in lower DE are excited. Caesar Rodney v. Sussex Central in the D-I game and Milford v. Laurel in the D-II game.

The second half hour is the Wesley pregame show.

You bring up a good point. Cold weather demands ball control, and that is what Wesley did.

Happy Thanksgining to all!!!

flying out early in the morning to austin, texas. everyone have a nice thanksgiving and i will try to report back to all of you who can not make the trip. i have a strong suspicion that wesley is going to win this game. both teams seem to be about the same, but i think wesley will be able to move the ball better passing. a close game, wesley wins.
