That definitely has to be the best game I have ever seen for the Wolverines. To go from 20 points down and come all the way back, and leave no doubt at the end was very impressive. I will have to admit, at half time I had hoped Wesley would just keep it close. But that was nothing less than amazing, the effort the Wolverines put forth in that second half. They didnt quit and it paid off in the end. How about shane mcsweeny too! 259 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 174 Rushing yards, 2 RuTDs. WOW! and look at the penalties 4 for 30 yards. That second half is the best that the 2011 Wolverines have played this year.

On to UMHB. I feel like we say that every year lol  ;D

first, glad to hear that the Linfield player is going to be ok, that was a collision.

Going from being really frustrated during the first half where Linfield's offense just made big paly after big play on third and longs to build what seemed like an insurmountable lead.  Most of us in the end zone were hoping that Wesley would make a good showing in the second half and make a game of it.  WOW, did they ever, that was F'n awesome.  Big hit on the second half kickoff, fumble and a quick Wesley TD, 27 - 14.  Linfield puts together another nice drive and it looks like down 3 scores again and POW, 100 yd int return and now it is a game.  At that point you could see Linfield looking tired.  Wesley's D took over at that point shutting down Linfield and when Wesley look the lead 28 - 27 you could see a very tired Linfield defense walk off the field.  From there I believe Wesley's size advantage just wore down the defense and Wesley went on to score 3 more TDs.  Props to Linfield for being well prepared and making big play after big play in the first half.  Hats off to the Wesley players and coaches for coming out in the second half and finally making plays to come back and take over the game.  To all the nay sayers out there who chimed in this week that you don't have to beat Wesley they will beat themselves, well this is one time you get to eat your words, only 1 turnover and very few penalties with no personal fouls.  A great, great win for the team and the seniors, another group that has gone to at least the quarters for all 4 years.  7 straight years advancing to at least the quarters puts Wesley clearly in the second rung of top D3 programs.  Still have that last hurdle to climb, but at least they get a chance.

Also, great to see the few Wesley posters today at the game.  Pawesley, Beenhit2hard, Ski, and Waterboy,  We get another week to enjoy D3 football against a familiar and classy rival.  Will be fun chatting with the UMHB people.

UMHB and Wesley have become frequent opponents. How does this WC team compare to the teams that UMHB has faced. They have always been huge and very athletic. I am looking forward to another incredible game in this intense rivalry.

You make a good a point and one I made before the game.  If Wesley plays without making mistakes, they are a tough team to beat.  The Wolverines held Linfield to 88 yards running and only had the 30 yards of penalties.  That is discipline.

WOW I was following the scoreboard during ODU-Norfolk State down here and looking at 21 down thinking it wasnt pretty ... next look Wesley up huge...
Congrats Wesley Wolverines , coaches and fans

crualum58, in my opinion this is the least overall talented team that Wesley has had since 2004.  That being said they may be playing the best as a team since the team that went to Mount in 2009.  They are non-descropt on offense except for McSweeney and you can see by the stats today that he can make things happen.  The O line is big and the receivers are getting better as the season goes on.  The defense is what you are used to, big and fast.  The secondary is the weakest part, but came up huge today with the 99 yd int return for a TD.  If UMHB is as usual, run first, throw last, then this should be a good game.  Strength on strength.  The x factor will be McSweeney, if UMHB cant contain him Wesley will have a good shot to win the game.  Looking forward to the game.

I was definitely the one leading the way with this opinion/prediction.  I was completely wrong. It takes TREMENDOUS  character and pretty near flawless play to come back against an opponent like Linfield down 20 points.  Although I didn't question their character, I MORE than questioned their ability to play disciplined and smart in a big game.  Congratulations to the Wesley players and coaching staff.  Much respect earned today.  Way to go!

Congrats to Wesley on the big win today. I was tunning in while at the Salisbury game and when I saw that you guys were down by 20 at the end of the half. I thought that Wesley was either committing turnovers or Linfield was just that good (they are still good). However, after looking at the final score, it seems as though the aww of playing a new team wore off and Wesley played like Wesley and proved that they are one of top teams in the nation. Good Luck next week.

Congrats to Wesley crew on a great rally and deserved win. Good luck next week. It would be good to see them knock off UMHB. I posted longer thoughts on the NWC board. One thing to add: We left a bit early before the end of the game as we walked down beyond the Guard parking, we could still heard a great pop from a kickoff lick.

Just home from watching a great football game. From  a coaches viewpoint I saw the game this way.
1st Half L was well prepared, the d took away W best plays.No boot passes no reverses and kept the qb under control .W speed showed as they caught #7(a really good back)on his long run and also ran down a reciever who got behind the w defense. A key was the PLAY calling by L on 3rd down ,,a lot of big conversions, well called offense. 2nd half. W made some good adjustments
On d they went to some agressive 5 under man, which allowed time for more PRESSURE on the qb.
On Offense,,a few more traps,or g blocks  to open holes for the QB and RB,,and team speed and depth started to take its toll on L. Qb's ability to scramble made a big difference in the 2nd half
The W d made good adjustment and stopped plays that had hurt them in 1st H.

Also speed an ability began to show more as the half went on.

AS a team I was very impressed with the scheme,game plan ,coaches and players of Linfield, they were a team that deserved to be in the playoffs.They showed a lot of CLASS the entire game.

GOOD teams find ways to win and today the Coaches and young men of WESLEY did that.

As a "fan" I tought it was a heck of an game to watch,,and so did my Wife.

Here's hoping all of the injuries get better,,thanks for a great game

beenhit2hard

Also,I believe there wer 4 3rd down passes knocked down in the 2nd half by linemen and LB's ,,big plays because the recievers were coming open  :-[

Congratulations, Wesley fans!

The Rev just saw the score and read a quick blurb about the come back. Outstanding!
The Rev was turned off by the smack-talking. Wesley has proven they belong at the top of anyone's list.  Phone it in, GHC.

Also, +k to Whitewater fan, Bleedpurple, for admitting he was wrong. Not many people have both the guts and the good sportsmanship to admit that. He did, and that deserves recognition.

Keep it going, Wesley! Good luck next week.

You'd be really disappointed.  It sucked--really choppy video and motion blur.  Audio was good for me most of the game but even that got messed up (along with my Wildcats season) near the end of the game.
Go Cats!
