Marrocco looks like the game is too fast for him. Mullin is like playing with fire with some of his throws. Not good. Del Val doesn't have to respect the pass.

did not see the first half, but the o line is usually the reason that Wesley can not beat the national contenders when they play them.  Not sure why since they are big enough across all 5 positions.  They only pass I saw was good and dropped by the receiver on 4th and 2 and if caught may have gone to the end zone.

Marrocco is 5-14. Mullin is 1-4. Mullin has either missed bad or thrown into double coverage.

Don't wait, come out fast:  Rowan came out a little flat last week but then picked it up as the moved on. That momentum will carry into this Saturday, so Linfield can't wait to work stuff out of their system for a half.  The 'Cats need to start fast because you know the Profs will be looking to get Linfield on their heels early.

Wesley needs to stick with Morocco.  He throws a nice ball.  They have a lot of work to do on offense if they are going to win the NJAC.

Good game to watch for the neutral though, Dad

They both looked very mediocre imo.... I think this game kinda shines a light on why Khaaliq Burroughs stuck around so long last year. Marrocco wins the job after today I think by performing in overtime, but that does not negate the 4 quarters of lackluster play.

Take out overtime and Marrocco is 11-31 for 140 yards, 51 of which came on one play.

Last year, Wesley had to go with Burroughs, this year, we have options (Drew Fry). Time to see what they are.

Thanks for the hospitality, Rowan.

May Carleton Coleman stay healthy.

I hope Coleman is OK, I didn't see him get injured. I'm concerned about our TE, looked like a serious knee injury in the 1Q. :(
Go Rowan! Brown & Gold!

Had to run errands all afternoon, but was listening on my phone. I'm not sure what to think. Widener lost to Lycoming today. I guess that's why they play the games. If the Profs can minimize mistakes maybe they can make a run at the NJAC. I got really excited at 14-14 and 28-14 when Rowan was inside the 10.

Maybe I can convince the wife to take a week out in Oregon, next year... wine country etc. Gonna have to figure out some kid-friendly stuff for my five-year-old son. I'm gonna pencil in a trip Rowan @ Linfield next year.

Ice Bear looking forward to the Gulls matchup with Oshkosh this weekend. Hope the Gulls get the W.
NJAC needs a good showing this week after going 2-6 last week. It's gonna be tough. Salisbury-Oshkosh is pretty intriguing. Rooting for Salisbury also.

Wesley-Del Val will be a good matchup, but I like the Wolverines here. They showcased some depth (at minimum) in the game against FP. If they get some decent QB play from Marrocco or Mullin, itll be tough for the Aggies to keep up... as long as the Wesley defense is as good as advertised. Last year, Wesley beat them 34-10, holding them scoreless in the second half.

**********Below posted on June 12, 2019....................and my mind has not changed in the three months since:**********

DelVal will be in a massive rebuilding year this coming season so I don't see them as one of the better teams in the East.

The DelVal vs. Wesley game should be interesting. DelVal loses their four year starter at QB (Darden), their top three receivers (with all at least 6'4".......Ellis, Graham and Stewart), stud kick returner and punt returner Stewart (4 TD's last year), three of their five mulit-year starter offensive linemen and their all conference fullback/hback. I think they struggle mightily to move the ball against a loaded Wesley defense. And when they do, DelVal also loses their four year punter, All-American Steven Adams (currently in an NFL rookie camp, and getting CFL looks) who was an amazing weapon at the D3 level. Wesley knows first hand what it is like to be subpar at kicker and/or punter.

DelVal brings a lot back on defense, but Wesley does on offense, including a lightning quick back (Lee), big, fast WR's and a huge offensive line. After DelVal winning the first two and Wesley winning last year, I'll set the line at at Wesley -9.5. DelVal covers, but Wesley wins to tie the recent series (last four seasons) up at 2-2. No team, with the exception of Mount Union, Mary Hardin Baylor, Wisconsin Whitewater and maybe one or two I'm missing, beats Wesley 3 out of 4 games (this season's seniors were freshman during game one of the series).........certainly NOT DelVal.

I don't have a MAC prediction yet, but I don't see DelVal running the table, nor winning the MAC for a third straight year.

I think that Wesley, Salsbury and Rowan catch a huge break with the departure of Frostburg.

A little birdie also tells me that this season's game might be the end, for now, of the Wesley vs. DelVal series. I have no clue who Wesley replaces them with.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've never been one to pat myself on the back and I don't want to start now but damn, did I nail the Wesley vs. DelVal game down to a nanometer.

Wesley won. Check. DelVal covered. Check.

There are only 5 or 6 teams who beat Wesley 3 out of 4 years and DelVal is not of that ilk.

Neither of these teams has a prayer to be in the national conversation and would get monkey stomped by the likes of UMHB, Mount Union and Whitewater.

DelVal wins if their FG kicker hits his. Wesley wins of their FG kicker hits his.

They are two pretty evenly matched teams with brand new QB's. The difference was the sheer amount of newbies on DelVal's offense and it shows.

Wesley cakewalks through the Frostburgless NJAC.

The Aggies do NOT win the MAC.

Call we the swammy ;)
