dg pugh and roocru, will tell the fine folk of stone station you said hi. hopefully i will see you both at the stagg bowl. i think that one of our teams has a good chance to be there this year.

dont think i will get on D3 tomorrow and hitting the road at 5 am to head to Bridgewater Sat morning kills saturday posts. This is a big weekend for Wesley. They play another strong team and I am looking for them to make a statement as to how good they are. If I am right I think they will win this game by 15+. The travel will be tough on Bir South just as it was on Wesley 2 weeks ago. The week off will hopefully heal what was ailing Wesley and they come out playing the way they can. The defense will continue to be stingy and hold Bir South under 20. Barring turnovers I think that Wesley gets in the 30's. Enjoy the game guys and Go Wolverines.

Check out Shane McSweeny's highlight tape. Wow! Will have to admit that its the first time I've seen a QB highlight tape that features his blocking too lol.

Enjoy!

What a first clip to start a QB vid!

So glad I got to see this kid play live last year after only catching him on webcasts earlier.

Enjoy your trip, and hope you're right about us getting things straightened around for Saturday. I'd rather enjoy a nice, comfortable lead instead of another nail biter.....

Boy, I am really excited about the game tomorrow. Yet another DIII Game of the Week for Wesley (IMHO). It will be up to the boys in blue to bring it home!

Nice article in Friday's News Journal about Jordan Westcott. The young man's always been tough on the field, and I've always known him to be an all around good guy. Really glad to see him back in football (and more importantly, school) and having success.

The defense will need a strong outing on Saturday.

Should be another great game. With all the adversity and close games Wesley has had, IF they can weather the storm and make it through, they will have learned a lot about themselves and would not be far off from their dominant selves, in my opinion.

At end of 1st Q - BSC 10 Wesley 0

roocru · October 06, 2012, 01:48:33 PM

At 7:13 in 2nd Q - tied 10 all

Halftime Wesley leads 16 - 10

DE Wesley Fan · October 06, 2012, 02:14:18 PM

Wesley up 16-10 at the half. Need to stop missing these extra points! Barile looks a little off his game today - routes not as sharp as usual and doesn't look the normal 110% effort - but others are stepping up so far.

Still not Wesley's best game, BUT much better than the team that we saw in the first 4 games. Defense coming up big with stops, and Sottilare played very well. Jahad with 103 yards, definitely a difference maker with him being healthy. So a good win over a good team. Recievers sounded like they did a heck of a job blocking after the catch was made. It seems like the Birmingham-Southern defense was waiting on Wesley to go deep more, which caused the underneath stuff to come up big.

Recievers dropped a few, and the botched Putman snap were a few of the mistakes. But overall very pleased with this win today. This gives Wesley more experience for the playoffs, and when they finally put their best games on the field, look out! Lynchburg next week will give Wesley time to iron out its fundamentals a little more.

DE Wesley Fan · October 06, 2012, 04:10:36 PM

Cummings made a huge difference in this one - great blocking and seemed to give the offense some much needed confidence. Nice to see a more balanced attack and the running game improving. Still things to correct, but definitely not nearly as frustrating as the first few.

Teamski · October 06, 2012, 04:31:49 PM

Cudos to Wesley for really turning the game around for the win. They did a great job keeping penalties to a minimum (only 4 for 32 yards) and won the turnover battle with 3 interceptions. The big thing was the defense making the adjustments needed to deal with the BS effective option. I was really impressed with Birmingham South. They had strength on both sides of the ball and made Wesley play at the top of their game to win it.

I was really pleased to see Sottilaire running with the ball as that helped give him an option when targets were covered. A nice change indeed. Askia Jahad's knee is looking like it is getting much better now as he is able to dig in and drive which resulted in a 5.5 yard average. As mentioned above, the offensive balance is really good this year. Again, I haven't need a running game like this since Pennewell.

Wesley is definitely starting its annual "scheduled" mid-season improvement program where both squads are syncing and starting to play up to their true potential. This season has been a real hoot. Wesley now has played 4 ranked teams (including LC's post-game upgrade) this season. When was the last time a single DIII team has done that in the regular season?? Anybody know? With Huntingdon coming up, that should end up as 5!

Hawks 88
did you get to Jackson ?
I had to work today and was unable to watch/listen.
the stat looks like the Hawks showed up played like we seem to against Millsaps (we are 4-1 against them including 2-0 against Duboise coached teams)

I drew a short straw next weekend, but am still going to try to make the Wesley game.
i hope we can just show up and give them a good game for all 4 quarters. It looks like Wesley is hitting on all 4 cylinders.

keep the faith
