It will be one hell of a game. I agree that Wesley will be ready to deal with the triple option as par for the course. I wouldn't worry too much about the passing game. Wesley's secondary has really blossomed as the season unfolds. Holding Walsh to paltry 66 yards with Howard nabbing two interceptions was pretty convincing! Both lines are now starting to dominate which is something I am really happy to see. If Wesley can keep mistakes at bay, they will be really tough to beat.

ski, glad to hear about the secondary. that has been my biggest concern since seeing the kean game. several teams have been able to run the ball on salisbury this year so if the o line does dominate that will open things up for the passing game. the d line will have to be huge this week. salisbury fumbled the ball, i think 5 times yesterday, and they have fumbled 3 or more in other games so i expect that to happen again this week. hoping that the lb's get to put some good hits on the qb if he keeps it. hoping that the weather turns out as nice as this weekend.

I certainly join those hoping for good news regarding the ill young man.

I have had only one chance to see Wesley this season so very much looking forward to this upcoming game.

FWIW the long term weather forecast has showers for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with temperatures in the high 50's to low 60's so could be a chilly afternoon.

Ski, was a pleasure seeing you as well. I will keep you informed as to how Ben is doing.

Will lift up prayers for the knapp family.

Hawks88
great to see yall. sloppy game, but still a good win.
that 3rd QB was ( in the short time he played) the best QB i have seen us play against all year. They had some good athletes.

2 wks off then LaGrange, do not make fun or cast dispersions on any one from west ga

Lord willing we'll see yall in 2 weeks
keep the faith

Hey DGP, doesn't seem to be any posters from west ga anymore so probably not much danger of that.

Not sure what to make of them giving Trinity a better game than we did. Hope we stay focused and don't get caught looking past them.
Did a little googling of the Webber QB to see where he came from. Looks like has had trouble sticking anywhere as this is his 4th school in 4 years. He was the Gulf South freshman of the year in '08 at Valdosta before a year at Georgia Military college and started part of last year for Towson St before getting kicked off the team. Heard one of our players had asked him after the game why he wasn't starting and he said "Politics" but that we would see him in The League next year. He has some talent but I don't know about that. heh

The last update I've seen was posted earlier today and Drs weren't happy with improvement . Tests scheduled for tomorrow
It's a very sad situation. Everyone is praying that his condition will improve.

1. Home field advantage worth at least a TD when D3 teams have to travel that far, and
2. TU head coach Mohr laid up in hospital and did not make trip. He's out but uncertain for this week's game. The guys were no doubt a bit distracted and the DC was in charge.

Thanks to Wesley for wiping Walsh and shutting up their coach. Interesting his line was they had nothing to gain by playing Mount Union, but apparently thought they had something to gain by because they thought they could beat any team Mount Union beat. I've got some local kids who were bragging up the game. Been kinda quiet

I remember you talking about the Walsh guys at the beginning of the season. I passed this onto the team. }8^) I think that these divergent games vs NAIA, Div I and USCAA teams show just how potent top Division III teams really are.

I really hope Ben pulls through this.....

Well speaking as one of those USCAA teams -- we know how potent a certain school in Delaware can be

and we will see them in a week

Prayers for Coach Knapp and family

thewaterboy · October 25, 2011, 03:29:02 PM

Coach Knapp is still in Pittsburgh with Ben. It seems like they are going to give him more time to let him heal. Hoping for the best. I have heard the Wolverines will wear stickers on the their helmets for ben too. Just need to keep praying and hoping for the best.

Good win for wesley this weekend vs. Walsh. Really cool to play at Fawcett Stadium and all. On to the familiar rival of Salisbury.

DGPugh · October 25, 2011, 04:17:14 PM

Ron- hope you are right, as yall whipped us and 'got by' LaGrange. I'd sure hate to lose to LaGrange.

Hawks88 - Neat info about the QB. Being freshman of the year in gulf south and playing for Valdosta speaks very well of ability. Being at his 4th school speaks ...well .. not so good about other factors. i am unsure if he will be in the NFL next year

? perhaps he was referring to another league.

. He was pretty good, but no Cam.

Two weeks off, i hope we don't lose focus and can take care of LaGrange. Dover Del is soon enough, just got to beat that west jawja crowd.

Thanks for the update. I guess only time will tell on how well Ben will do. I keep a special prayer for him each day. It was only days ago I was talking to him on the bus trip about going to the HOF. How fast things can change.....

Hang in there Ben.
