Okay....I was wrong about Salisbury again! I didnt think they would win much less put 77 points up on the board. That has to be a school record...I dont remember them ever putting up that many points in the 20 years I have been following Salisbury football.

The previous record was 75 points scored against Wesley in 1988.

At Salisbury now at my daughter's apartment.  Got to the game shortly after it started and the score was 6-0 NNA.  Salisbury reeed off 77 points before NNA scored with about 4 minutes left.  The Sea Gull back-ups played from the second series in the second half to the end of the game.

Met nnasid while here.  The Gulls were scoring in rapid fire.  I guess you could call this a statement game.

If anyone had questions about Salisbury after losing DJ, I've got two words for you.

They're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

I spoke to DJ before the game and he's a class guy.

Just got back...wow...we scored first..and last.....
Our guys played hard throughout the game...but once that machine got rolling it was wild to watch.

Wesley 48, Seton Hill 10
Frostburg St. 27, Buffalo St. 26 (stopped two point conversion with 70 seconds left).

NJlincoln...good to meet you....our men are at lincoln on Jan. 11...women play up there on Feb. 25

I haven't posted here before, but reading the comments the last week there seemed to be some talk that the season was over for Salisbury when Dustin went down.  Now that the Gulls put up 77 I still don't see anything about Travis Peters' performance.  This young man made the right reads on the option and handled himself and the offense in an excellent way.  If you were at the game you know what I mean.  56 points in the first half is pretty good.  Dustin is an outstanding QB, but Travis Peters can run the Gull offense very effectively himself.

I think it's considered poor form to come on and say "I told you so" when you haven't posted before.

[upspilot]

Where was the "I told you so" comment?

[Pat Coleman]

Now that the Gulls put up 77 I still don't see anything about Travis Peters' performance. 

That's what you said. It's the equivalent of 'I told you so.'

There's no need to go fishing for compliments -- if someone thinks your son/nephew/brother/cousin played well they will eventually come around and say so.

I was planning on staying out of this debate but I think it is going a bit overboard. Okay let me first say that SU dominated CNU Ha Ha Ha, now that we have established that. Come on people (not taking anything about the positive season NNA has put together so far but at the end of the day they are still NNA). Those guys work hard and I really respect them for trying to play football on top of that but who really expects them to play well aginst one of the better teams in D3. Last year W&J put 70 plus on them as well. All of this stuff about saying they are back is funny. Bottom line is, if DJ had finished the Montcllair game healthy SU would have proably won and if he had started against NNA their would have been no discussion if NNA could beat SU. Im not trying to take anything away from Peters because I don't know the kid. But lets get real, if he was half as talented a runner as DJ why in the hell would SU have DJ returning punts and kickoffs at the beginning of the season. Thats the difference of the two DJ is an instant game breaker and Peters is another good backup. Okay SU might have beat the hell out of NNA yesterday but when they make it to the playoffs against some of the best the South Region has to offer then SU fans will see the difference.  Let me be the first to tell you that if Peters and SU think they can put up 70 against some of the teams that will make it to the playoffs, I would say why was DJ starting in the first place. Another thing if memory serves me correctly SU already had some come back wins early in the season that was fueled by none other than DJ. Yes the team has to go on thinking they can still get it done but every other playoff team defensive scheme has got a lot easier. Now its stop Satchell and you will have a very good chance of beating SU.

[luvapontiac]

Nobody expects Salisbury to put up over 70 points against anybody, whether it be NNA, CNU, or a playoff team.

Only a knucklehead would claim that SU is better with out Dustin Johnson at QB.  Your right that a healthy DJ may have out scored Montclair St.  However, SU has more weapons on offense than just DJ and Satchell.  Travis Peters just has to run the option and get the ball to the other weapons.  If defenses come in trying to stop Satchell, SU will run the option to the outside, then come back later and run Satchell up the middle.  I've already posted that SU may still make the playoffs, but won't go as deep as they would with DJ.
