I just got home from the game. That was a cold one, indeed! Wesley's defense was awesome today and the Wolverines did what they needed to get the job done! Sottilaire is really starting to peak. His off balanced shot into the endzone was amazing.

Looking forward to the MHB game as it should be a good one.

I finally saw the box score. 113 total yards of offense allowed by the Wesley defense, with -5 rushing yards allowed. Wow.

The offense was really balanced today. 206 yards of rushing offence and over 400 yards total offense. Not too shabby....

ski, hope you thaw out. it was cold on the field, cant imagine how cold it was up top filming the game. maybe is the film is cold it will make the defense look slower then they really are.

we are in for a good one next weekend. real good o against possibly the best d in d3 football. how fast can the week go?

A nice hot chocolate did the trick. You are correct, it was cold up there! That crosswind gets you right in the back. At least I got to say hi to Keith McMillan before I left.

Yeah, UMHB put up 69 points today.....I think Wesley will be taking a chunk out of their 500+ yards of rushing next week, what do you think?

Good win for the Wolverines. Real balanced offensively and the defense was as hard hitting and lights out as usual. Sottilare and Cummings now lead Division III in pass efficiency. Great job today!

Familiar foe next week vs. UMHB. Hopefully Wesley can keep that good football going.

Finally home and warm

.My observations today,,Wesley D made MSU look like an average to below average football team.MSU played with little emotion,,and saw their players bickering on their sideline and some on the field with each other.On the Other hand Wesley looked like a very focused team,,ready to play and well prepared in all areas of the game .It was just a very cold game for us older people,,and I even had my ski coat on

next week should be a great match up !!out comes the under armour cold gear next week

I think you're right. Over 200 yards came from the 2nd and 3rd stringers who shouldn't see much PT next week. If they do, it's a real bad day for Wesley or a real bad injury day for the Cru.

in my haste to reply about the game i forgot to congratulate tryon for his kicking today. the wind was worse than last week and he did a nice job making adjustments. the missed extra point was dead center, then stopped by the wind and pushed right, was really fun to watch since i was standing at that endzone. never thought he would make the field goal, excellent job.

cant wait for next saturday.

wesleydad, Teamski,

With all the discussion on MHB's offense vs. Wesley's defense, what about Wesley's offense against MHB's defense.? what are your thoughts?

Well, Wesley's offense is about as balanced as you can get. If it doesn't work on the ground, it works in the air and vice versa. I am interested in seeing how UMHB covers both.

Raider 68

Wesley has developed a lot of players this year because of some of the blowouts. They have two quality Qb's and a third who in a pinch can go back there if need be.. They have a good one two punch in the runnning game and numerous recievers who can go get it....

I think the think that caught my attention in the Kean game and then again in the first playoff game was how deep the coaches went into the roster right of the get go....

All that being said, when you get to great teams together two things can happen... A great tight game or a big blowout if things roll wrong one way or the other for either team

raider68, good question. this offense looks to be hitting on all cylinders right now. that being said the last 2 times wesley played umhb, they struggled to score. in 07 wesley lost 27 - 10, i dont have a photographic memory but i believe there were some turnovers that hurt wesley. in 08 in belton, wesley was totally overwhelmed by what umhb did on defense. the d line totally controlled the game, turnovers also hurt. wesley had no answers that day. it is going to come down to game plan and execution as it does in most close games. which teams coaches figure out what is going to work and which team's players execute it better. then when the game starts, who makes the adjustments to counter what the other team is doing well. i believe that wesley will be able to move the ball, more in the air then on the ground as the secondary seems to be the weakspot for umhb according to their posters on the asc site. if wesley is able to run the ball for 150 yds then i think they win, comfortably, if they play a clean game. much respest for hscoach and his 12.5 line tells me something, maybe that he is crazy, but not likely. this has all the makings of a great game.

Whew shaping up to be a good one this weekend. If Wesley plays like they have been they should win. Thats all I have to say about that and see ya Saturday.

wesleydad · November 30, 2010, 07:31:24 PM

waterboy, come and find me in the tailgating area. i will be easy to find i will be an old guy hanging out with college kids and possibly some guys wearing bridgewater gear. some of my friends from down south are coming up for the game. i agree with you, play like they have been and they win.
