Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

I thought Salisbury was going to throw more with Sheahin.

Good game against NGU. The Crusaders werent very disciplined which led to a lot of personal foul calls. It was apparently a tough day and a tough defense to pass the ball against for the Wolverines or Shane just had a bad day. Hes never really passed under 50%in a game I dont think.(KEEP IN MIND THE DROPS vs. CNU he should have been about 15-20) But he used his feet along with A-Jax to beat them. The defense was very good and played disciplined football.

Wesley coaches will cook up something to beat those Aggies. Last year we made way too many mistakes against them. In particular, that roughing the punter call, and the two point conversion that was failed because it was pushed back 15 some yards on penalties. Last year both A-Jax and Pennewell ran for 100 or more yards. On offense it was the lack of discipline and the passing game that hurt them (81 yards). The defense and special teams also lacked discipline.

I think if Wesley plays with the discipline and skill they have displayed in these first two games, although they werent 50-0 scores, they should be able to beat Del Val. Both Shane and A-Jax can run. Krout proves a valuable option in the secondary and McSweeny will be the passer he was last year and against CNU. Recievers have dropped a few passes but hopefully thats no big deal. On defense, Marcus Wilson has surprised me by going almost Bobby Boucher and tackling everyone. Coach Knapp and Coach Drass, who have forgotten more football than I will ever know will definitely have something in mind come gametime.

PA Wesley fan....I thought so too......I know he got hurt in the 2nd half and didn't finish the game, but I am not sure how much that affected the amount of passing that SU did.....need to bounce back against CNU.....I can't go, but I know the players really like that facility, nice atmosphere, away stands are not real good, but the field and home stands are the nicest D3 stuff I have ever seen.

Wesley v DelVal  looks like a nice game for a local like myself to take in on Saturday. I saw Isgro

against Hopkins and the issue will be how successful the defensive gameplan will handle his multifaceted

attack.

I look forward to  seeing if DelVal can keep Wesley under 30 and be in the game in the 4th quarter.
If so, it could be another last minute finish with an Aggie victory;if not, the wolverines roll again.
   I liked the DelVal defense against Hopkins running game but we know that Wesley plays at a different
speed than JH. This  should be a very interesting matchup.

muledaddy, good to hear from you.  look me up saturday, i will likely park back by the tracks near the gate that allows you to walk to the soccer fields.  i will be there doing a little tailgating and hopefully meeting some of the delval faithful.  as far as the game goes, i don't think that delval will struggle keeping wesley in the 20's, they did it last year, albeit more due to wesley mistakes, since the offense is not a potent this year.  isgro was good last year so he is likely better this year.  i think this will be a close low scoring game, in the 20's, unless someone has too many turnovers or penalties allowing the other team to control the game.

waterboy, unless they change the game plan mcsweeney will not complete the same percentage of passes as last year when the large majority of them were thrown under 10 yards most of the season.  i agree that wesley should win the game.  if you are making the trip, look me up, will have the #13 jersey.

pa wesley, see you in the lot, i will be there around 1100.

I am not so sure that the completion rate really matters if you are getting two or three TD's a game from it as long as when it's time for clock management it doesn't slow down the game .  Plus averaging over two hundred yards rushing and two hundred yards passing a game isn't bad.

I haven't fianlized the plans yet for the game.. If we get there early enough we'l look you up. I think we may havea crowd coming...

  I am looking forward to seeing Wesley's  D Backs against a good QB this week. Isgro is the best QB they've seen. And if they shut down Cook like they did Tunde Isgro will have to make the plays to keep it close.

[thewaterboy]

No, I wont be making a trip out to Del Val anytime soon. I live too far away. If anything, the next game I will be at is either Salisbury or a playoff game.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see if Wesley's D can hold down Isgro. The NGU QB who could run showed me that Wesley could hold a scrambling QB down. Albiet that that QB wasnt as good as Isgro but we will see.

Hope all of you going that your trip is safe.

Ahhhh..... Today it cooled down and it is starting to feel like football weather!  I am really pumped up for the game.  I'll definately be there!  Well, I think Wesley will be out for blood this time around to avenge last year's loss.  I'm not looking at a low scoring game.

24-6 should be 31-6 without holding call before INT.

[Hawks88]

Early 2nd quarter. Huntingdon 7 - UW-Oshkosh 7.

[Hawks88]

Huntingdon gives up a long TD pass, a pick 6 and, what hopefully wasn't a back-breaker, a TD with :06 left in the half. Oshkosh 28 HC 7 at the half. We have some work to do to get back in this one.

[Hawks88]

Final Oshkosh 31 - Huntingdon 13
HC just blew to many opportunities. 5 turnovers, 3 I think in the red zone. We moved the ball well all day but couldn't finish drives. Maybe we got the turnovers out of our system. Louisiana College is going to be another tough game next week.


Go Hawks!

Well....Revenge has been taken on last year's loss to Delaware Valley.  It wasn't pretty, but Wesley did it,  31-13.  The Aggies were definately their worst enemy today.  They were really spirited, but man, they just coughed up fur balls the entire game. Turnover, penalty, stir, repeat.   It's been a long time since I have seen a team self destruct like that.   After the score turned 24-0, the crowd turned stone silent.  I really mean that.  I have never, ever seen a crowd hush up like that.

Now if that field goal return late in the 4th quarter didn't pop up like it did, the score would of been a tad better..... mmmmmm. 

Wesley can now move onto the epic bus ride to Georgia!  I'm there!

p.s.  It was great to see PA-Wesleyfan and Wesleydad today at the game. 

[thewaterboy]

A little late but I am returning from a late and boring Kent State game.

Wesley's defence was excellent....Again. Technically they only surrendered 6 pts.

A bit of bad luck with Jackson coming out with that injury, hopefully he can make a speedy recovery. I think Barry Garrard, Abeeb Badmus, and Brandon Wright will be able to carry the load though. The reciever corps looked better but still dropping a few passes and theres still room for some improvement.

As for McSweeny, He passed like Shane McSweeny passes. He should have had 4 TDs and 1 Pick because of that holding call. Thats what Ill think about at least. I like the fact that he was in the 70-80% range as well. Thats good to see. So some room for improvement for him but he did improve today. That goes for the whole team as well.

On to LaGrange. Im glad Im not taking that 15 hour drive.

I don't know if it came across on the broadcast but there were some bad decisions by players on both teams today that hurt their teams. The game was a little chippy. I looked at the wdel video and it sure looks like the knee was down on the fg run back. The TD pass was caused by Isgro running and both defenders coming up and leaving Peterman all alone along the side lines. Wesley really controlled things after the first quarter and just kept grinding out yards on the ground. There were Jackson didn't return and Nevid got injured(knee) on the fg play. I was again impressed with Wesley O and D lines!!!
