Nothing to do with anything, but I had to laugh that they stuck our seats down by the goal line/end zone this year (last year we were right behind the bench near mid field). Guess they didn't like us taking their money, beating them, AND getting the good seats....

LOL!!!! Enjoying the weather?

It's absolutely perfect, but I'll take a monsoon if a win comes with it!

A Callahan interception deep in Charlotte territory stops their first drive. Gah..... Charlotte blocks a punt but is held to a FG. 24-31. Lost opportunities.

After a really good kickoff return, Wesley stalls within the 5 yard line of Charlotte and settles for a field goal. Wesley trailing at the start of the 4th, 27-31 with Charlotte having the ball on their 33 or so. Not getting those TD's is killing Wesley.

Defense keeps needing to stand tall.

Wonderful. Charlotte drives down the field and increase their lead with another TD. 27-38 with 12:00 to go..... $:-\$

Makes you wonder if pulling the starters as much as Wesley did during the season is affecting their stamina in this game.....

Missed opportunities in the red zone. You can't get dropped in any ranking losing to a team like Charlotte.

Well, I enjoyed the game. Wesley falls short 33-38. The Wolverines had three shots at the endzone that they couldn't convert to TD's and that really was where the game was lost. That said, I think Wesley played the best they could against a team they were outsized along the lines. They could not have had a better game to presage the 2014 DIII Playoffs. They got their tough game of the season and that will bode well for the Quarters and the semis.....

It was nice to be able to watch a D3 team on tv. Would have liked to have seen Wesley win, but it was an excellent game.

Shame about the end result, but y'all put up a great fight.

There SHOULD be no playoff repercussions from this game. Wesley really kinda missed some opportunities to a team that had 65 reasons to beat them (scholarships). Overall it was a good effort, the D played better as the game went on. Nice to see a test like this before we go to somewhere like Alliance.

Looking at the players body language after the game, and I think they are very disappointed to lose this one. Definitely will light a fire the rest of the way. Hopefully we stayed healthy.

Listened to the game while I was Widener's game. Sounded like the officials missed some stuff that changed things a little according to Sean. Nonetheless, a strong showing after not having played a tough game pretty much all season. Team seems set up to make a deep run and with the other results today, UWW and Mount barely winning, maybe things can change a little in D3 this year. Wesley and UMHB will need to get it done.

Teamski · November 15, 2014, 05:27:19 PM

Wesley won the tale of the tape and led Charlotte in just about every stat except the one that counted. I agree, not too bad a showing.

Good game for getting back in the groove and to get ready for when it really counts. Think it was really the size of UNCCs lines that did us in as our D-line couldn't get as much pressure up front consistently and O-line looked a little worn down late in the game. Can't imagine we'll see that kind of size again. Officiating wasn't the best but seemed pretty consistent at not calling much. Really thought targeting call on Wescott was crap, but I hate that rule anyway (get that players have to be protected but think its called too often when there's no intent to harm). He was having a really good game up to then. Looking forward to seeing the brackets and am hoping and praying to go far. This is a very special group and I hope they finally get to take this to the next step.
