Agree DE wesley fan, hope they can make it competitive in the second half. defense is going to be tired if they have to be on the field as much this half. hopefully the offense can sustain some drives to give them a rest.

They already are. If you noticed that last Cru drive, the defense was doubled over. UMHB is just quick. It seems like Wesley offense was in slow motion. The score could have been a lot worse.

I can't really fault Wesley's defense. Sure, they allowed some big plays, but the offensive implosion doomed the whole game. The offensive line was a concern from the get-go and those concerns were quite evident today. This is a historic loss for sure.

Wesley is far from competitive against one of the top teams in the country. They will have to regroup and run the table if they want to make the playoffs. Currently they are not close to being in the discussion about winning the national championship. The offense needs to improve immensely if they are even to be considered as one of the top teams in the south. The gap is huge between UMHB and the rest. If their QB continues to improve they will certainly be in the discussion and maybe even a favorite to get to Salem.

It will be if Wesley doesn't score.

Near as I can tell last time Wesley was blanked was 2006 0-47 against Brockport State.

Of course they were blanked 0-28 for the first half in a playoff game a couple years ago.

Not sure they have had this young a team in quite a while

Defense is playing well...about the only thing you can take away from today. Was at work and was only able to listen briefly at work. The o-line is killing them.

thewaterboy · September 21, 2013, 09:38:20 PM

And if the offensive line wasnt dinged up enough....

Teamski · September 21, 2013, 09:55:25 PM

The pain is finally over. At least Wesley was able to scratch a TD out of it. Wow, talk about a non-appearance for the offense. They were completely outmatched speed for speed. I am not too worried about Birmingham Southern as they seem to be a mortal team, so Wesley will need to regroup and focus next week to play like they should.

It is hard to be on the other end of a monkey stomp, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. At least they aren't St. Thomas, right?

The defense is just fine IMHO. They did what they could tonight. The game could have easily been a 50+ point whipping, but the defense did what it could to stem the bleeding.

Well at least we eventually scored. HATED the nonsense lining up for the extra point. Getting the PAT is enough of a drama this year without all that. Hope everyone heals quickly and regroups to come back strong next week. Congrats to UMHB for a good game - they have a lot to be excited about again this year.

Sean: "Is that Confetti?"
Jason: "No, those are bugs, man!"

Hilarious!

Ski, I thought the defense played very well given the situations they were given.

On offense the offensive line play was pretty close to atrocious, but the thing I noticed most was the lack of a gamechanger or playmaker. Someone had to come up with a few first downs to get momentum back. It felt like UMHB had momentum all game long. Koudossou can be a game changer, but its not possible every night. There is no luxury of an Ellis Krout, Shane McSweeny, or a Chris Warrick this season. More need to step it up and be leaders. I feel like the Wolverines have lacked that to an extent this season.

Well done to UMHB for a nice win and a sick stadium. Some of the Wesley faithful down there were saying that "they have never seen anything like it before."

This hurts, but Wesley will bounce back, and hopefully with a vengeance. Back in 05 they were embarrassed by a 3-4 Brockport team 47-0 and wound up in the semifinals, so by no means is this a loss to linger over as far as questioning Wesley's chances down the road.
