    W&J Bracket  Final....If Wesley starts slowly like they did against Muhlenburg, UMHB won't wait and will probably make them pay. If Wesley starts off fast out of the blocks and scores early, they will put the Crusaders in a situation that doesn't work well for a running/option team-playing from behind. I see this one going against Wesley....I think Schatz is a good qb, but he is not quite the decision maker (yet) that Warrick was IMHO-. UMHB 28 Wesley 21
may they all come out healthy.......

BFKAW&JB (Bracket formerly known as W&J bracket)

Wesley has started slow the last 2 weeks, (behind in 1st quarter to H-SC and behind until a minute to go in 1st half to Muhlenburg) but in a span of the first 4 Wesley offensive plays in the 2nd half last week, the game was all but over. 

Haven't seen the Crusaders this year, however, they are a team purportedly as fast and as strong as Wesley on both sides of the football.  It should be a great South Region final.  I'll take a 4 OT thriller with someone having to convert a mandated 2 point conversion for the win.  Let's see if the lights work at the stadium!

It may be chilly in Dover, but Wesley will warm up before UMHB.

Wesley 24--UMHB--21

The chill in the hands may cause the ball to drop quickly when hit.

 It's been eerily quite all week about the Wesley/UMHB game. That is a sign of a few things.  Respect for the opponents and/or anticipation of the unknown.
Certainly beats the bashing that went on last year and the fanaticism going on in some other boards.

  Wesley has been able to slow down some good running teams this year. Slowing down UMHB is going to be a big challenge. If UMHB has an achillies heal it may be they can drop the ball. Wesley ahs also had it's share of turnovers. Wesley has a good running game and a good passing attack. The Cru has an excellent D against the run. Wesley has the ability to score quickly.

   This should be a battle to the end, but as both these teams know when two great teams get together things don't always play out that way. I am sure the Wesley coaching staff has some plays ready to exploit the UMHB secondary and I am sure the UMHB staff has some wrinkles to throw at Wesley.

  Safe travel for all you UMHB fans and The Stone Station crew of two.

pawesleyfan, i agree.  it has been quiet.  there was plenty of chirping by the umhb posters the first 2 weeks, but not much this week.  if umhb sticks to its philosophy of pressuring the qb by sending numbers, they may be in trouble against the pass.  wesleyhas a pretty good o line and  has only given up 1 sack per game.  finding the hot route will be crucial and it is not like schatz wasnt involved in that last year as a receiver.  can wesley run the ball with some success?  can umhb run the ball with success, they were very confident last year and did not fair very well.  what will they do on the kickoff and punts, wesley is certainly better in those categories.  no turnovers for wesley will be key, especially if the cru give it up 1 or 2 times.  i like wesely's chances.  wesley 27 - umhb 17.

Wesley by 3 over UMHB.  Call it the "Home Team" advantage.

Good luck this weekend Wolverines!

[Teamski]

It's gonna be a tough game for Wesley.  However, if UMHB's run is as predicatable as was Salisbury's,  then I think Wesley will do well.  Once they dial in the blocking assignments in the 1st quarter, then they should be able to plug the holes and stop the run, I hope!  If UMBH's rush is inescapable as some say, then I hope Wesley practiced their screens for this week......

I'm going with Wesley 33 UMHB 27....

ps...I won't be able to make the tailgating this time 'round, unfortunately.  I'm working back-to-back 12 hour night shifts (I'm with the USAF), so I have to power nap before and after the game..... 

[Wesleyfan24]

Wesley 28 Cru 24
Hard fought game Wesley needs to run the ball and the Cru needs to play more drop back zone.  Wesley will score early and the Cru will make a comeback.  Great game lots of tailgating and hopefully in the end the wolverines will be getting a third shot at the Warhawks go Wolverines beat the Cru.
Oh yah and don't kick to beavers if you want to win.

Oh yah and don't kick to beavers if you want to win.

Interesting ,when looking at the kickoff stats for Cru kicker Joel Munoz. He has 20 touchbacks on 107 kickoffs. Pretty unusual in D-III since they moved it back to the 30. Munoz has had lots of practice, since the Cru has scored 91 touchdowns this season (hopefully, they won't do that today.) Maybe they will try to kick it over Beavers.
