Okay there were numerous problems in the Wesley game against Del Val. One of them being penalties. There were too many that hurt WC and ended up being scores. They were all very stupid mistakes as well.
Another being the inaccuracy of Jason Schatz. He was terribly inaccurate and failed to complete passes. I applaud the insertion of Shane McSweeny and his big TD in that game. McSweeny pulled through with that TD. That, I think was a good call to put McSweeny in by the coaches.
Another was fumbles. There were, simply,  too many.
The defense couldnt make stops when they were needed.

There are many many more but these were the big ones. Now Im a gigantic Chris Warrick fan and was devastated to see him graduate. But lets face it, if we still had Warrick then we probably would have stomped Del Val.

muledaddy, making a prediction that a team will win has nothing to do with arrogance or overconfidence.  it is the way i saw the game play out based on what i knew of both teams.  i did not guarentee anything.  at the half, i dont think too many people watching the game thought that it was going to be any closer than it was at halftime.  i love all the monday morning qb's that show up and profess they knew it would end up the way it did.  i will continue to voice my opinion, as it is only that, an opinion.  i am not afraid to be wrong, i wasnt the only one around here on this game.  if you dont want to be wrong, dont make a decision.  enjoy your season of not going out on a limb in support of the mules, maybe they will play better if noone predicts they may beat someone easily ;D.

as far as feeling the pressure on my son before the game even started based on the fact that some people know i am his father is comical.  i guess he made some bad plays because i predicted that they would win.  with that statement, i figure that you dont talk to your son about the game nor discuss how the game should go if everyone does their job.  doenst make for much conversation.

Wesleydad,

Let's just hope  that we can both see our boys face off in November...a long way down the road

How many scholarship players does  Wise have now? What happened with the game?
Football !!! The ultimate team sport. Anyone who plays DIII football is a winner...

SU Backer

  OK, I had a off week to say the least as far as my predictions go, thanks to my Gulls keeping me from going O -fer......but I feel very strongly that the conference sweeps all 4 games this week!  My Gulls keep rolling in a close game over a always tough CNU team-watch the trick plays boys!! Always a halfback pass, fake punt or something of that type with CNU - be ready and make them pay! Wesley rebounds from a first week stumble and puts it on Widener down Dover way. Frostburg gets it going too beating the boys from Brockport-that trip from upstate NY is always tough. And NNA blows out George Mason taking out last week's frustration on them. I won't go with scores, but I feel confident the ACFC takes all.
As always stay safe and GO GULLS!

XSUGull

My unprofessional expert picks for Week 3:
XSUGULL season record: 4-1-2*

Christopher Newport at Salisbury
This has become a pretty competitive rivalry over the years. The Sea Gulls avenged the devastating 2004 home playoff loss with a big win in 2005 but SU hasn't been able to knock off the Captains at Sea Gull Stadium. In CNU's last two trips to Salisbury the Captains have come out on top. It seems that the road team has had the upper hand in this match-up over the last four years. The big difference in this game is that SU has two games under its belt while CNU has yet to play a game. I think Salisbury gets a big home win over the Captains. Salisbury 38, CNU 17.

Widener at Wesley
I was probably as shocked as anyone on this board when I saw the final score to the Delaware Valley-Wesley game last week. I thought the Wolves had too much fire power on offense to let that game slip away. Regardless, I think Wesley will come out with a chip on its shoulder for its home opener. Wesley 28, Widener 10.

Apprentice School at George Mason Club
I can bet the Shipbuilders worked on their pass defense this week after Virginia-Wise's start QB went 18-for-18 with a handful of touchdown tosses. Apprentice will show improvement on defense and they will score some points but I think George Mason will come out on top. George Mason 24, Apprentice 17.

SUNY-Brockport at Frostburg State
The Golden Eagles are 1-0 with an overtime win and Frostburg lost to a very good W&J team. I think FSU and their new coach are getting close to getting the Bobcats back on track but not yet. I like Brockport in a fairly close game. SUNY-Brockport 27, Frostburg State 17.

ACFC Prediction - 9/20/2008

Salisbury over CNU thanks to the Gulls depth, and as XSUGull has mentioned about the Gulls 2 game experience against a CNU team that may experience opening game jitters.

Wesley over Widener with the Wolverines "ticked-off" after the opening loss to Delaware Valley.  Additionally, the Wolverines are now in a "must win" mentality with every game for the rest of the season.

Apprentice School over George Mason big time.

SUNY-B-Port over Frostburg State as the Bobcats continue their climb back to respectability.

Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

I'll be honest I am not sure how many scholarship players, but they're darn good.  The effort was there, we couldnt punch it in.   They play that hard the rest of the season, we'll be in games.

wesleydad

time to talk about the game.  since i am not sure about who will start at Qb for wesley i will have to figure out what is going to happen.  i believe that wesley is better and should win.  i dont think that widener can take advantage of the problems that wesley had last week on defense.  wesley wins 35-10.  widener can not score much.

Well, Wesley did a great job at Widener last year, having a strong second half to win the game.  I'm hoping that extra fumble drills this week and having a game under the belt will help settle the team into doing what it is capable of.  Due to work, this will probably be the only game I'll catch this year.  :'(

Well, Wesley had a pretty good outing today, beating out Widener, 41-9.  McSweeney started as QB and did a sterling job passing when Wesley's running game started to falter.  He did a pretty bang-up job running himself and his passing was really accurate as well.  Schatz came in to play in the 4th and did a good job finishing the game up.

That said, mistakes and penalties stopped 3 Wesley drives deep into the redzone.  12 penalties (8 in the first half alone) and 2 turnovers for the game.  So, still a lot of work for Coach Drass in getting the team discipline up to par.    But, I feel the team is getting it's feet.  ;)

Anybody got any score updates?

Newport News 28, George Mason Club 10

I just got back from watching the second half.  I wouldn't read anything into the win.  I wasn't impressed with Mason's size, conditioning, or preparedness.

Newport News has some speed and some flash--not much size--but I'm not sure how well that flash will work against a disciplined team, which Mason ain't.
