Id like to see another Mount-Wesley game.

Id like to see another Mount-Wesley game. 

Could happen again, unless either team loses before or the South does not play the East. This also assumes that Mount Union gets shipped to the East again, again and again!

if i have to choose between mount and uwww, i would choose mount and it has nothing to do with the beat downs that uwww laid on wesley.  i can drive to mount and would not be able to make the uwww game.  if they keep umhb and wesley together then that will make for a good game, hopefully wesley has the home field so if my friends from umhb make the trip i get to hang with some pretty cool southern folk.  if i have to drive to mount i get to have margaritas for breakfast with some other pretty cool ohio people, so both are a win win for me.  we had a ball in wisconsin when we traveled there when jason played, but it would be hard to justify the trip having no player in the game.  in the end it doesnt matter because i already booked by hotel in salem for the stagg so it just matters who plays, would love to toot wesleys horn if they make it, if not we will still have a great time with great people from around d3.

I bet UMU fans aren't compaining about playing in the East region...

02 Warhawk,

As long as the NCAA keeps moving UWW to the north, what choice do the Raiders have ( that's right, no one has a choice). Maybe this year Mount stays North, but with 3 to 4 strong West region teams, I doubt it! If I had a vote, Wesley would be my #1 seed in the south!

UWW was in the west last year...and almost lost to Linfield.

finally making a trip to dover this week.  will be nice to see how much the team has improved since week one against cnu.  hope to see a clean game with very few penalties.  stone station saw so va play bridgewater and said that they were not very good so i dont think the game will be close.  with the bye week before salisbury this is the last chance to get some game action.  see you there.

Well, I'm pumped up for the game today against SVU.  Should be a good one.  I ran into Coach Knapp at the Dover HS vs. Sussex Tech game last night.  The game featured ex-Wesley assistant coaches on both sides of the field.  Dover edged out Sussex Tech 36-34.  I think it is neat to see Wesley farming coaches and seeing them in action.

A bit OT, but there was one play I cannot explain.  Dover kicked off to Sussex Tech with a squib kick.  The ball hit a first line  Sussex player and it was kicked straight back to a Dover player who covered it up at the Dover 40.  The officials gave the ball back to Sussex Tech at the 50.  What the $#(@?

Anyways, it will be windy today so pack a windbreaker!

Huntingdon 14 Salisbury 14 11:00 left in 2nd. HC with a lot of trouble with SU option in 1st. Posey started at QB for HC but wasn't able to move the ball very much. Freshman Taylor Hughes comes in in the 2nd and sparks a TD drive and the wind catches the ensuing kick-off dropping short for a HC recovery and another quick TD drive. Hopefully the defense can figure out the option and the frosh QB can stay hot.

20-14 SU w/ 6:25 left in 2nd. It's going to be a long day if we can't figure out a way to stop that option. Doesn't sound like we are tackling very well. Ongoing problem this year.

27-14 SU w/ :33 left in 2nd. SU with another long drive and score right before the half. Would have been nice to keep them out of the end zone there.

29-14 Posey back in a QB for HC in the 3rd, two 3 and outs with a fumbled snap for a safety on the punt after the second possession. Not sure why we took Hughes out as he was able to move the ball pretty well in the first half.

32-14 SU w/14:34 left in 4th. Two long drives for SU in the second half and we've managed to hold them to a field goal. HC has run 6 plays in the second half to 20 something for SU. Hughes back in at QB for HC.

HC drives to inside the 10 but Manuel throws int in end-zone out of the wildcat. Another nice drive led by Hughes though.

39-14 w/10:30 left. SU breaks one for 79 yds on second play after int.

39-21 w/5:45 left. Looks like we might have found a new QB today.

45-21 w/3:10 to go.

[Hawks88]

Final score Salisbury 45 - Huntingdon 21. 475 yds rushing for SU. Not much we could have done except it sounded like maybe tackle a little better. SU with 4 fumbles but we weren't able to recover any. Might have made a little difference if we could have gotten a couple of those.

Another snoozer of a game for Wesley.  They Lead 28-0 at the end of the 1st quarter.  The second and third string was well excercised today and Wesley finished 52-3.  Well, the Wolverines have a bye week this next week and I know they will need to be on their game for Salisbury.  Luckily, the run game is a specialty for the Defensive line.  It will be a good one for sure!  No doubt that the Gulls will be pumped up.

Well not really much to say after todays game. 576 yards of offense, while allowing 97 is always good. The penalties were down for the most part with more coming in the 4th quarter (8 of 72 yards). Interesting little stat though, one of the broadcasters on WDEL mentioned that Wesley was in the top 5 in scoring in D3 (I think at #3).

The only stat that is a little concerning is the 3 fumbles. I think it was LeGrand, Hopkins, and Cummings that made them but you gotta hang on to that football.

As for next week I have no idea what to do with myself.  Maybe I'll head to Alliance or something to check out the Mount-Cap game. But, Salisbury is the week after, and looking at the HC-Salisbury stats, looks like SU optioned the Hawks to death. Only 30 passing yards for the Sea Gulls though. We'll see what Wesley does to stop them come October 30th.

And congrats to Coach Drass on his 150th win!

Does Salisbury have a chance to upset Wesley, or is it just another stop along the way to the playoffs?

[PA_wesleyfan]

  If Salisbury  doesn't throw the ball they will be in trouble... The Gulls have come into this game before with great running games and been virtually shut down... And this years Wesley D might be better than those teams...

[wesleydad]

raider68, no no no no chance, unless wesley lays an egg.  salisbury only scored 28 on hampden-sydney and after watching them play against bridgewater, their defense is not close to as good as wesley's d is.  if salisbury relies solely on the run which they have done in the last couple of games it will be a long day for them.  plus they have put the ball on the ground way too often, 4 or more times in almost every game.  should just be another step on the way to the playoffs, but that is why they play the games.  you just never know.
