Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

I think CNU had 3 fumbles and 4 interceptions...something like that anyway. They are lucky the score wasnt worse than that with so many turnovers.

Tough loss for Newport today, I actually wanted to see them knock off Brockport state. I stand corrected on my pick for that game. Wesley looked tough overall, but I guess anyone can when playing Buffalo St!

And wasting no time for next week, here is what I see happening for the 27th

Newport 21 Chowan 14
Frostburg State 21 Brockport 20
Cortland State 17 Buffalo State 0
Salisbury 28 Montclair State 10
Wesley 24 Kean 12

On another note, did anybody happen to see Clemson coach Tommy Bowden tonight after they lost in overtime to Miami loss? I don't think I have ever seen a coach so stunned in my life.

luv:

You don't think Salisbury will score more than 28 points at home aganist Montclair State?

luvapontiac · September 17, 2005, 09:10:37 PM

I like to give Montclair St. the benefit of the doubt. When you start putting these high scores down for blowout games, people start to think you are arogant. They have a good shot at scoring more than 28, but 28 is a nice safe round number. I could put down Salisbury 54, Montclair 0, and Salisbury could only win by 6 points....then I look like a chump. So it is always better to give a lopsided score, but not one that is totally insulting to everyone. (That is unless they have fans who are jerks that come into our posting area from out of conference and start bragging about how bad they will beat one of our teams, then I go ahead and let the trash talking begin

)

Luv. The SU offense is still pretty much intact but im sorry your boys are missing Dehaven and a few others from last year. The CNU offense only scored 10 points but they actually moved the ball pretty well against your D. When the right running plays where called they worked for good yardage and like I stated earlier in the week the 3-5 step drop passing worked really well from time to time. Like SU from last year the turnovers really killed some potential scores that could have maybe changed the game. It was a good day for the Gulls but they will have to fix that pass D especially when playoff time comes around.

Dr. Seagull got his win and SU is 3-1 against CNU but nothing will erase that bad taste out of the Seagull faithful mouth after that playoff loss.

Last year's playoff loss still hurts, but fortunately it was last year and so far we've learned from it.

I don't think the Gulls pass defense is all that bad, LB McCray had an interception for a TD today and Moser had two sacks. Moser saw considerable playing time as a freshman and took a year off and knows Coach Woods system. Salisbury has an All American in Westbrook in the defensive backfield.

went to wesley game today. defence line for wesley played extremely well. sorry but they ran out of programs so i can't give you names. but buff st. has a great receiver in #1. he had three diving catches that kept a few of buff.st. drives going. lanouette for wesley may be lost for season , got blocked on an interception and he was taken off on a cart. there were 4 knee injuries today. warrick didn't have a great day. 4 int's on plays he tried to force the ball in. wesley special teams played very well also

Dr. Seagull · September 18, 2005, 09:28:15 AM

Big win for the gulls yesterday...but it is time to get back to the drawing board and get better for next week...I give credit to CNU...we and everyone else seems to be gunning for them...when you are good teams do that...now the gulls have that big red bullseye on there jerseys...every team from here on out is going to be gunning for us...get better and improve...offense and defense both played well yesterday but the special teams were aweful...that is usually what Salisbury prides itself on...get better...offense...in the fourth quarter...gotta get that killer instinct and sustain an 8-12 play drive...these 3 and outs...can't have 'em...overall...great effort...picks for this week...
Brockport 21 FSU 10
NNA 35 Chowan 3
Cortland 30 Buffalo 7
Salisbury 48 Montclair 20

Good job yesterday Gulls. For those that went to the game what would you say are some of the weakness of CNU this year. What should the fans of SU Hornets expect when they visit CNU in two weeks.

Big wins this past week for Salisbury and Frostburg! Although I don't believe that CNU or Montclair State are as good as they have been in the past, that does not take anything away from the victories. Also, another monster week for both Dustin Johnson (Salisbury) and Kevin Culbert (Frostburg). If both of these kids do not make All American, then there is something very wrong with the selection process. I really hope that the fact that Dustin does not throw for a ton of yards does not hurt him. Also, I hope that since Culbert does not play for a very good team, that he still gets recognized. The ACFC should be very proud to have these 2 student-athletes. Here are my predictions for this coming week:

Brockport 24 Frostburg 6
NNA 28 Chowan 10
Cortland 27 Buff St 13
Salisbury 41 Montclair 17
Wesley 49 Kean 13

acfcposter:

I agree with you on both DJ's and Culbert's play so far, that All American consideration should be looked at, however in the case of DJ, I feel the team would have to win or go very far in the playoffs. Historically, option QB's are not given the same consideration as the classic drop back pocket passer.

Good game by Frostburg to hold off Montclair State. We need some FSU fans on board to get some "411" on Montclair.

I live in North Jersey, but with the number of pro teams, in the area, college football plays "third fiddle to the NFL and even HS football in the papers. That's not hard to comprehend when the lone D1 program is Rutgers New Brunswick.

I would imagine South Jersey football gets good coverage with the likes of Rowan, TCNJ etc.

Will be monitoring the NJAC site this week to seek info about Montclair State from the likes of ACMob, Knightstalker, JT et al.

The Gulls can't afford to take any team for granted. As Dr. Seagull mentioned, Salisbury will have a big red target on them as long as they keep winning.

njlincolnlion · September 19, 2005, 11:12:32 AM

rams1102:

Got any info you would care to share about your "Mighty Red Hawks"?

luvapontiac · September 19, 2005, 11:12:53 AM

We don't have any fans at all it seems for Buffalo St or Newport (besides NNASid). I wish the ACFC was more popular than with the same people we always have posting here.

I wouldnt worry too much about those boys from the NJAC feeling confident with Montclair State pulling out the win over Salisbury. Salisbury is heavily favored, and should win by a large margin. But, I have been wrong before
