Man wish i was there, no one wanted to go. Way to step up on that final drive. D picked up the offense all day and, the O finally came through HUGE in that last drive. Need to calm down before I can think about this one more.

On to Ithaca!

What a great game to be at.  Wow, Wow, Wow, is all I can say.  go 82 yards in 30 sec when they know you are throwing the ball and into a 25 - 30 mph wind is incredible.  Callahan was under pressure the entire second half, the O line struggled against the blitz.  The last drive, they stepped up and gave him time and he delivered some pinpoint passes and strong into the wind.  Just a great win.  On to Ithaca.  Way to go Wolverines.

The Johns Hopkins' crowd went wild when they went ahead 24-23 and I could almost feel that sound bouncing off my face.  They were loud!   Another 36 seconds of game time and they were absolutely silent.  I don't know how Wesley does it.  If it isn't the Linfield game, or Salisbury, they do it yet again today.  Against the odds, they just do it.

Now Wesley had a lot of opportunities that the defense provided to put the game away but the offense simply failed to deliver in the second half up to the last drive.  An interception there, a fumble here and Wesley couldn't put the game away.  They simply responded with a three and out.  I mentioned to my wife that when Wesley failed to convert the point after when they scored to lead 23-14, it would come back to bite us.  It almost did.  However, the wind of fate and character blew in Wesley's favor once again.

Johns Hopkins played a spirited game.  Their blitz really put the ca bosh on Wesley's pass game in the second half.  They tipped balls, sacked Callahan and created mayhem behind the line.  But the offense kicked in and took advantage of the prevent defense that does so well in losing games.  Hats off to Callahan for having the arm to put the ball where it needed to be when he had the time to do it.  The guy is the real thing.  Incredible.

Good things were very few penalties and no turnovers.  VERY GOOD THINGS indeed!

Now to get onto next week against Ithaca and to get refocused once again.  Well done Wolverines and another week for the beard!

Congrats to the Wolverines.  Have played against both of those programs while in college and I can imagine that was quite a game; I'm not sure either team is a title contender but that sort of first-round game is one of the best things about the playoffs.  Two go-ahead TD in the final minute of any game is spectacular.  Koudoussou is unbelievable.  If you guys have video or find links to any highlights from the game, I'd love to see them!

You ask and you shall receive.  The video was put together by JHU, so it is missing most of the good Wesley plays that had them ahead 23-14 at one point.

Check out the brackets, game is in Dover this weekend.  Much shorter drive.  Turf vs. grass will make a difference.  Big break for Wesley, although I thought they were still going to win the game anyway.  Wonder what the explanation is?

Thank you for the entertaining game for this independent to watch yesterday.  I was impressed with John Carroll and what that professional under a minute drive looked like.
Happy for you.

DOC, it was a great game to be at.  The last drive was even more impressive in that it was into a 25 - 30 mph wind.  Glad you enjoyed it.  Looks like Wesley gets a home game this weekend.?!!!!

You have class Thanksgiving weekend? Who's showing up?

Wesleydad!  That had to be one fun game to attend my friend.

I think Wesley can get the job done this coming week, and I am hoping Mount brings their "A" game against WITT.

If that happens, it's just like old times my friend.  You know where we will be, and of course you are more than welcome.

yes, lots of fun to watch live.  I thought Wesley would win at Ithaca so i certainly believe they will win at home this weekend.  Ithaca struggles scoring, so if Wesley does not turn the ball over I see Ithaca having trouble getting points.  they only ran for 6 yds against Framingham and I doubt that Framingham's d is better than Wesley's is. 

Mount looks to be vulnerable as again they give up points to a team that you would think they would have little trouble with.  W&J got crushed by Fisher early in the year.

If we both win, you know I will be at panchos for the pre game breakfast and conversation.  This is the least overall talented team that Wesley has had in some time, but they are getting better and the receivers will give anyone trouble if the O line can give the QB some time.  Will be an interesting game if Wesley plays Mount.

Maybe it has something to do with Wesley beating the #2 seed on the road, which would trump Ithaca's #3 seed. Just a suggestion

wesleydad, what was your take on Ithaca from the Salisbury game?
