had chances. sot did not make the playes today, receivers open for td's. dru made the adjustments and wesley did not respond. offense made little sense to me in the second half. inside the 10 and dont throw into the end zone. a good season, but wasted chances.

Oh! I thought they were going to score there... Another missed opportunity. Wesley has a lot of blame to place on themselves.

Well, Sottilare is not throwing the ball well. McSweeney would have won this game simply by scrambling and creating new opportunities. Oh well.

....and don't forget about poor tackling!

Congrats to the Cru. Bailey was the difference again. Good luck in Alliance and represent the South proudly.

Man thats deflating. Way too many missed scoring opportunities by Wesley because of lack of execution. You need to punch it into the endzone on the last drive, and on the turnovers by MHB. Shoulda, coulda, woulda.... Bailey was the difference, although Wesley did play a great first half, it just came apart in the second. We will see them next season. New QBs for both teams will be interesting.

Tackling was atrocious, and special teams, a lot of the blame lies there. Credit to MHB but there were plenty of self-inflicted Wesley mistakes.

MHB is a great team, IMO, they will be in Salem. Mount hasnt seen anyone yet in the playoffs or the regular season.

And that was that. Another great season for Wesley nonetheless. It is easy to slam them, but they are among the elite. I wish they played up to their potential today. We will see how the Crusaders will handle Mount Union. I wish them the best of luck in knocking them off the block! In the meantime, we await another season.....

I was gonna make the comment about playing in the wind, but then I remember y'all have wind in Dover, too!

UMHB just got it together in the second half... a missed red zone FG and three scoring drives. The 5th drive began in the shadows of the goal posts and ended in victory formation.

Quite a different team in the second half. They overcame the botched lateral. UMU will not be so forgiving.

frustrating watching the offense fail to get it done again. being able to run the ball should have opened up the passing game, but wesley didnt seem like they wanted to throw the ball downfield. sot did not have a good game, but i have to question many of the calls inside the 10 in both halves of the game. missed opporitunities at end of 1st half could have made this a completly different second half. this is a good team, top 5 again, but just cant get over the hump. the cru is also good, just dont think they are any better than wesley is, bailey made a couple of plays today and the coaches made the adjustments at the half better than the wesley coaches did. shame, because they could have won today.

wesleydad, Wesley had a chance to make the lead 2 possessions and couldnt. That was the biggest factor of the game IMO...

Another Wesley class comes and goes. Ill really miss this group, and it was great getting to know all of them. Cummings, Sott, Jahad, all of them. Will have some great stories from when they played for sure. Best of luck to them, and I hope they stick around the program.

You can question many things in the game of football. Playcalling, penalties, personnel, etc. but one thing that can never be questioned by anyone is the heart and tenacity that this Wesley College Football team had this season (and every season). They never quit, never gave up, and at the end of the day, that is what you hang your hat on.

Both teams really should have won this week. IMO, this was Salem. MHB is the most talented team left in the field.

Congratulations to Wesley on a great season. And the best to all seniors who will now be moving on. Without a doubt, they have a lifetime and memories and friendships to look forward to. It won't be long before the disappointment of today fades and the experience of being at Wesley will be cherished for the rest of their lives. Wesley fans, you have a lot for which you can be proud. You have earned the respect of the entire country.

And when you hear that from a UW-W fan, you know it's true. Wesleydad knows what I'm talking about..

But hatchets are buried. Now let's go back to work and meet again in the semi's, OK???

Great game today Wesley! After the blocked FG and we fumbled it, we really were deflated offensively. I think our D really showed up and played a great game and picked up our O. Stopping y'all in the RedZone and being able to ward off the TD really helped. I think we really helped ourselves out when we got pressure on Sottilare. Jahad is a stud! That guy was running hard and was worrying me. He really brought it to the Cru but I didn't feel the same emotion from the rest of the Wesley team.

It will be great to see y'all again next year as you come to our HOME stadium. Great opponent, great players, great team!

Beat ourselves as much as they beat us. Bailey is unbelievable and I hope he runs all over Mt U next week. Proud of the year Wesley had, and as we've sadly become accustomed to saying...."Maybe next year"...

We've said it the last two years.

bleed, thanks for the sentiment. 8 years to at least the region final is pretty good. just frustrating that they have not been able to make the stagg. they have only lost to mount, uww, and umhb in the playoffs, not to shabby to say the least. would love to meet uww in the semis again, much prefer it to be at the stagg though. good luck to you guys again next year. oshkosh is showing the wiac to be more than a 1 trick pony. had them going to salem to play wesley, so if they win next week i had at least 1 team correct.

thewaterboy · December 03, 2012, 04:03:27 PM

Looking back, I think the LiDarral Bailey flip touchdown pass was the back breaker for Wesley. Should have had a sack but LDB hit the moneyball and put it perfectly where his reciever could catch it, intentionally or not. It was just a sign that everything was going to go UMHB's way the rest of the game...and it did.
