You think Kehres thought they should abuse the "other" corner all day? ouch.

[Mugsy]

MUC took under 2 minutes to drive for another TD - mostly passes into the wind including a 20 yard TD pass.   Wheaton really needed a stop there to go into half at 24-7. 

Alas... it is 31-7.  Not looking good since Wheaton can't stop MUC at all.

[Mugsy]

Wheaton putting together another drive.  Down to MUC 18.  Great pass protection by O-Line.  Nice passes by Norris and a few really nice catches by Wheaton WR.  Offense starting to click a bit. 

<sigh> as I was typing Norris gets sacked!  Ugh.

[DIIIinVA]

Mt Union coming w/ the heat after the TO was predictable.  Sack, 2nd Wheaton TO.

[BashDad]

c'mon!!!!!! geez.

[Mugsy]

Ellis WIDE OPEN for a TD... and the pass hits him in the facemask!

Must have been looking directly into the sun, because it bounced way off his facemask.  That hurts big time. Wide, wide open and Norris put the ball right there.  Should be 31-14! 

45 yard FG by Ellingsen.  31-10 at the half.

Story has been dropped passes by Wheaton and the inability to stop MUC offense.  Oh yeah... more Wheaton turnovers leading to MUC points... same ole' story as past games against MUC. 

Keep on fighting in the 2nd half... don't give up.

[BashDad]

for as dominating on offense as mount has been, this game should be MUCH, MUCH closer. here's hoping the thunder put some stick'm on their paws during half time. ugh.

[burly]

Spelling error corrected, but Wheaton is down 21 at half.

[BashDad]

UWW is up 5-0 on MHB. It's, like, the fifth inning.

[DIIIinVA]

Self-inflicted mistakes:

Wheaton: 4, 5?  Fumble and several dropped passes that would've been 1st downs or in the case of the last one, a score.

Mt. Union: 0.  Even their fumbled kickoff bounced right to a trailing Purple Raider.

[Mugsy]

Norris 6-18 for 89 yards and 1 TD.  Not his fault as there were at least 4 or 5 dropped passes.  He should have been 10 or 11 of 18.

Very, very little rushing for Wheaton.  Hurts not to have Gingg, though I'm not sure how much difference he would have made.  MUC rush defense is nasty.

Newman 6 for 19 yards
Hershey 6 for 7 yards (1 for 5 yards) Ugghh.

For MUC:
Micheli 13-18 for 178 and 2 TD's... unstoppable thus far.

Kmic 17 for 104, though 49 yard TD.  Minus TD, relatively contained thus far.
Micheli 5 for 74, including 38 yard TD.  Ouch.

Petruzello 7 catches for 109 yards.  Another ouch...
Shorts 2 catches for 19 yards, 1 TD.  Nice job by Ittersagen thus far on Shorts... but it doesn't matter if Wheaton gets gouged elsewhere.

here's to Wheaton throwing a shutout in the 2nd half ... c'mon man!!

[Mugsy]

Sure would be nice to start 3rd quarter with a 3 and out by Wheaton d.

[wheatie barefooter]

no ... turnov

OH MY!!

[wheatie barefooter]

gotta get a TURNOVER!!
