Salisbury next weekend looks like an interesting match-up. Looking at their Saturday box score, it looks like they got a lot of big play touchdowns. Their QB Griffin can run, and they still only threw the ball 5 times. But for about 130 yards on 2 completions. we'll see if Salisbury can make some changes that let them throw the ball more because Wesleys run defense will be tough and Salisbury wont be able to rely on the run as heavily as they did so far this season.

On Wesley's side of the ball, hopefully we keep going in the right direction, the team has played well up until this point so lets continue that trend. And I think the Bye Week helps them too. In terms of injuries and preparation. So, for Wesley hopefully they can solve that option and keep up their good play.

WE have seen the Gulls twice this season,,the run game has been pretty tough this year. The loss to H S C
was due to some strange play calling at the end of the game(IMHO),,but what do I know. This could be a wild game,,will see you all there

Jumping in here where I don't belong. 

If you can't throw the ball with some consistency, you will NOT beat any of the top 7 or 8 teams in D-III.  At that level, the defenses are too good, and can gameplan to stop a "run only" offense.  I think that is the reason MHB has never been able to make that final jump to win a Stagg. 

Wesley is very strong against the run.........if Salisbury can't throw it, they lose by 2 or 3 touchdowns unless they also play lights out D.

Skunk,,I do not belong in here either,,just an Ohio guy that moved to the east coast,,used to hang out in Alliance a lot  17 years or so,,watched every MUC game from 89 till 05,,and they could run and throw. Salisbury, can throw ,but when they HAD TO THROW they wer not really good at it.If they can run a Smooth game ,,then they  can pass well. We saw them loose to a good passing team.

If you are a strong option team as they are,,it is hard to get your scout o to give a good look of a passing
team because your players are used to running the option, not a lot of pass routes,,makes it a little harder to prepare

We have seen Wesley use a 3 man line vs option teams,,and have had good luck with their schemes vs salisbury's option(Georgia Tech/Navy style)

Should be a nice afternoon,,watching a good game,,similar to OAC caliber

Alot here will depend on the uncoachable things,,,,turnovers !!

skunks, you are always welcome to jump in here and add something to the conversation.  i will vouch for your cred anytime.  i agree.  when given a time and knowing that the other team is limited at best to pass, most top teams can stop the run only game.  salisbury has not been able to hold onto the ball and lost to an average hampden sydney team, but a good d against the run team.  wesley is much better than that, faster and quicker, will make life miserable for the gulls.  if wesley plays a clean game they should win by 2 - 3 tds.  if the gulls dont play a clean game it will be much worse.

Wesley wins by 4 TD's against Salisbury and will be the #1 seed in the South, IMHO!

Quite the prediction!  I certainly hope it turns out that way.  However, remember that this is a rivalry and while I believe that Wesley willl handle Salisbury's run like it has in the past, I expect the Gulls to come into the game fired up.  They have all to gain in this game.  I also expect them to mix things up.  If there is one thing I have seen this year, is that teams facing Wesley really mixed things up in their play books in attempts to keep the defense off balanced.  Salisbury is about as one dimensional as a team can get, so they have their work cut out for them if they want to do the same.  However, heart and a couple Wesley mistakes can go a long way.

  Now let's see the Defensive line work it's magic against the option.

I'm just coming off of the rankings shock.... Anyways, the Wesley players are really biting at the bit having the bye week behind them.  The weekend weather looks like beautiful football weather with a high of 61 and partly cloudy.  It should be a very good game....

[wesleydad]

the rankings are a joke.  hampden sydney is nowhere near the top team in the south.  wesley at 3, hardin simmons at 8.  it is a shame that if things dont work themselves out, wesley will not get the 1 seed they deserve.  good weather for the game is nice, but i am sure the wind will be blowing in salisbury, just not as bad a wesley.  i will try to fing you ski.  go wolverines.

Im going to have to disagree with the rankings here. Wesley at 3? Really? And Mount and Whitewater are in the same boat (2 or 3). Whats up with that? Hopefully things will shake out though.

And now for some dumb questions   These rankings, do they directly affect playoff seeding? And how are they figured? (I know it has something to do with the strength of schedule and in-region games and like I said these are dumb questions  )

wow, where are the gull backers?  awfully quiet here.  this is a big game for them, a win and they likely make the playoffs, a loss and they are out.  i know there are not many of us in here, but come on guys step up.  i need to find a good tailgate to hit before the game.

Yeah, that could be bad.  Wesleydad without a tailgate party........They better beef up security.
