Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

wow, 2 fumble returns for TD's.  it is ugly early.  nice job by the defense.  looks like a completely different team from the last 2 weeks.

[DE Wesley Fan]

Nice to see us recover from last week so well, but the offense still only has what, 14 points? No disrespect to BSC but our offense has to do better than that. However, hopefully that good opening drive will serve as a confidence builder and lead to bigger and better things. And good job by the kicker so far this week

All we know about this game is BSC made a ton of mistakes and Wesley is too good to let them get away with it. 37-0 at half

I was wondering when we would get a good barometer of the SAA.  I think that we have UMHB by a mile, then Wesley by a half-mile and then everyone else.  JHU is probably close, but they play in a different strata of D-3.  I am not being disparaging of JHU, but you have to go about "8 degrees of Kevin Bacon" to find comparables between UMHB/Wesley and JHU.

Right now, my thought is that JHU would host the second round game between Wesley and JHU.  The winner would fly to Texas.

We are getting great cross country matchups this season. Linfield has played three credible non-conference opponents.  UMHB has played 3 credible non-conference opponents.  Wesley's schedule will help us connect most of the South and some of the East.

Wow, 37 points in the first quarter!!  When was the last time Wesley did that?  21 of those points were defensive.  I caught the halftime score coming back from Salisbury on a school trip there and could barely hear Sean call out the 37-0 score as WDEL came into range.  Amazing......  Well, I guess we know where Wesley stands this year.  Keep it up!!

OK, when was the last time you saw a team score on both a safety AND a 2 point PAT return in the same game??  Wesley just did.....

Wow what a response from last week. Totally different team. They definitely grew from that loss.

offensive line showed some improvement.  will have to keep improving.  huntington comes in next week and they gave up 30 plus to ferrum.  wesley should be able to score on them.  the defense has to remain aggressive.  too many penalties late in the game, cant return to that type of play.  keep it clean especially when winning by so much.

[DE Wesley Fan]

Was happy to see us use a big, sure handed tight end today. Where's he been??? Also encouraging to see some other running backs play well - his name escapes me at the moment (either #30 or #34),but one of them seemed to have a really good feel for finding the holes the line was making.

And many thanks to all the nice folks in AL, as everyone made as feel so welcome. BSC has an attractive facility and great fans. Hope they have a good rest of their season.

Seems like that has been an issue for years. However, you guys came back and told the nation that Defense wins championships. Looking at the box score, this game reminds me how UW-W got out on Buff St. last week.

That was not an entertaining game. Wesley pretty much ran away with it in the first quarter, able to move the ball at will on 2 drives as well as capitalizing on a metric ton of B-SC unforced mistakes and bad play.

I'm not sure what to take from this game. Clearly, Wesley was the better team. That is not in question. I just have no idea how good Wesley is because B-SC was so incredibly bad in the first quarter. After the first quarter, it was a much more even game, but I think a lot of that was Wesley simply not needing to have the foot on the pedal.

I don't know guys. The Wesley team I saw last year would have easily beaten the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter Wesley team I saw today. However, there is just no way of knowing what those quarters meant. If I was a team with a long ride two weeks in a row and was well out in front after one quarter against a team that couldn't do anything right, I probably would have snoozed through the rest as well.

Wesley is good. They go back to being my second best team in the South because I didn't see any real weaknesses other than the seemingly ever present penalties. I just have to believe Salisbury played them tight in a rivalry and UMHB is just that good on opening night in their new stadium. But I admit I have no idea how good Wesley might be thanks to the way the game went.

Congratulations on the win and good luck the rest of the way.

Wesley bumped up one spot to 10th.  Next week will be another good game with Huntingdon in town.  I don't think I will be as lucky this time around to catch it.  I know the Wolverines will be pumped up for the game.

DG I hope your boys don't do what BSC did and lose in the first 5 minutes of the game. I'm just glad you guys won when I was there week before last, otherwise I'd feel I really am a jinx for the home team!
