I know Bethel is a very good team, but I expected a bit more out of the Wheaton offense. Only 95 yards on 38 plays. Norris 8-19 for 72 yards. Gingg 14 carries for 42 yards.

Wheaton defense has given up yardage, but block FG and 3 turnovers has made the different. Bethel RB Flannery with 12 carries for 79 yards. Bethel QB 6-14 for 111 yards, including a 37 yard TD pass. Bethel with 209 yards total offense in the first half.

Wheaton weathering the storm of going against a very strong team with 1 game already under it's belt. I hope the Wheaton offense makes some adjustments and comes out in the 2nd half and controls the clock a bit more. Can't bank on Bethel turning the ball over as much in the 2nd half.

Hockaday 10-13 210 no ints. Loras -20 rushing in the 1st half

Hope up over Carthage 13-12 in the 4th quarter. Quite a different game from the 70-46 track meet last year.

I picked the over

Those stats are pretty telling. It sounds like Hockaday may be a good one.

He certainly looks good so far

Is that unusual?

For Wheaton, very. Coach Swider always mentions how much of a difference it makes to have juniors and seniors playing. Much more maturity in every way than 18-19 year olds.

After a muffed punt snap, Wheaton shows some trickery and scores a TD on a 3 play drive. 16-6 Wheaton.

Millikin with a 55 yd punt return for td 42 -0

TD Bethel on a 4th and Goal from the 1. Wheaton up 16-13 with 6 minutes left in the 3rd.

Mugsy · September 12, 2009, 04:03:44 PM

Hope and Carthage knotted at 19 with just under 8 minutes left.

For the 3rd time in the game, another Wheaton receiver beyond all Bethel DB's. This time underthrown by Norris.

Not sure about the play calling... 3 straight pass attempts of 25+ yards, though the 3rd one was complete for a long gain. I'd like to see more of Gingg.

Norris to Hindman for a 3 yard TD pass. 23-13 Wheaton.

Wheaton has had horrible kick coverage today. Bethel returns ensuing kickoff over 45 yards, then tack on a late hit by the kicker. Ugh.
