We need you to run a covert operation and hijack that film copy it send it to all of us and put it back before anyone knows it's gone.. That is definitely a historic film!!!

Trust me, I wish I could!  I don't get access to the goods after the game is done.

I will definitely be looking for some highlights or something! This definitely showed the true 2011 Wesley College Wolverines. If anyone has a link to anything like a highlight, I cant wait to see it! 

Also IMO, Leon Jones' interception return deserves a play of the week honor.

This isn't much and certainly doesn't capture the intensity of the game. But here are a few shaky,  random end zone clips from my phone. Unfortunately for the Wesley side, my battery was dying as the Wolverines were getting going. Most are high def, but not all.

Well it's something and better than nothing.  Thanks for posting.

forgot that wesley won last year 19 - 9 and pretty much shut down the UMHB offense.  will be interesting to see how the game plays out this year.  is the UMHB offense that much improved?  wesley is weaker in the secondary but I dont think that will play that much into the game unless UMHB changes its philosphy which I doubt they will do.  The wesley offense is different this year with McSweeney at QB, will UMHB be able to stop both the run and pass if it is used.  I still have concern about the lack of a running game from someone other than Shane.  Linfield showed they were susceptable to the QB keeper, I dont think UMHB will likely be that generous.  Again the O line will have to have a big game and wear down UMHB.  As usual this will be a good game between 2 familiar foes.

 Was looking at ETBU against Wesley and UMHB and saw Sed Harris rushed for 290 yds and threw for 117 1 TD against UMHB. WOW!! Against Wesley Harris rushed for 61 yds and threw for 259 1 TD and 4 INTs.

Sean's great call of Leon's Pick-six.

Ok, I was looking at UMHB Games this year and box scores and came to one conclusion. Make Bailey beat us in the air. Stack 8 or 9 in the box, man up and dare them to throw the ball. Although I'm just an idiot and shouldn't give advise to coach Drass considering Baileys numbers last year against Wesley looked like this 8 for 23, 97yds, 1 int. 20 carries for -13. I think thats a pretty good defensive scheme. I would probably stay with that.
  The most Bailey's thrown for is 281 yds on 30 attempts  1td, 3ints against UW La-crosse. If he lets the ball go that many times against us there will be 2 to 4 ints I figure. I know he's good but they said that last year and they haven't seen anyone like Wesley since last year. I know UMHB hasn't had to throw the ball that much this year because there running game has been so good and that's what will end them in the playoffs, because at some point you will have to put the ball in the air against a good defense because the run isn't working as it did against Sul Ross State. That will be Wesley's advantage because defenses cant fill the box unless they want to pay. Ask Hobart what happened when they blitzed everyone.
  I know anyone can win at this point and UMHB is very good. Just want to stir the pot a little.

PS: Not worried about the rain and wind. Played Salisbury in some 40 degree sideways rain for a half. No advantage either way.

I think this shapes up to be another great game. Two teams who have had great seasons and programs who are used to playing at this time of year.  Hard to separate the two teams (which is why it's great that in D3 we actually get to play the games!).  I am picking Wesley to win.  It takes really strong leadership to come from behind the way the Wolverines did last week.  In addition, they are the more balanced team offensively and McSweeny appears to be a special player who is playing with a lot of confidence right now. If the Wolverines don't revert to how they played the first 6 quarters this post-season, they should have what it takes to win, even on the road.

Yeah, we shot ourselves, too, by not scoring twice in the red zone. Your D stepped up, our O broke down.

We were running the Pistol at the beginning of the year. That is different than our usual I formation. Since the switch, Bailey has been much better, throwing only 1 or 2 INT's. We can pass the ball, that's for sure.

Not saying that UMHB cant throw it. But they wont unless they have to. Looking at stats this year so far, and havent thrown the ball more than 20 times since the Southern Oregon game midway through the season. Even though it may be a Wesley weak point, make UMHB throw the ball to win. Bailey is still a QB that will beat you with his legs. Not his arm.

You are right. He will beat you with his legs, if he has to. There was a point on Saturday where we were driving, needed a big throw and catch, LB went back, stepped up, could have run, but didn't. He threw a strike and we got the first down. In the past, he may have ran. We haven't had to throw a lot, but if we need to, I believe we can.

More highlights from the Linfield game if anyone is interested
