I hope you're right about the bye week...the offense needs to find a way to break out of their slump.

GO CAPS!

Another week.  Montclair should get back to winning against So Va.  Wesley plays a pretty tough defense in TCNJ, but they have no offense so Wesley should win easily.  The other 2 games are interesting to me.  Can Willy P win 2 in a row?  I think so as I am not impressed by Frostburg.  Salisbury/Rowan, no weather issues so Rowan, even with the tough D is likely going to have to outscore the Gulls and I don't see that happening.  Now if Rowan can be +3 in the turnover category this will be a good game.  Another week of no games for me, a real good friends wedding in the early afternoon canceled my plans for the Rowan game.

Pep had the distinct pleasure for two consecutive years to serve as a groomsman in two of his buddies' weddings that directly conflicted with Alfred University football games.

Now when they celebrate their anniversaries, Pep reminds them, "Oh yeah, that was the weekend when AU came back from a 28-0 deficit at Brockport State and won, 34-28, to ruin the Eagles' first-ever night football game in front of 8,000+ fans" OR "Oh yeah, that was the Saterday that Tyler Johnson got injured and the Saxons blew an early lead in Hartwick's cage."

Weddings were made for springtime and summer!

Well, it is going to be a wet one today for the Wesley/TCNJ game.  Yay.......    Football is football so all is not bad.

I think it's somewhat concerning that Wesley has not intercepted a pass yet this season.

Well, they got 1!

true, but when the pass defense is not that good it is not totally surprising.  None all year though is not good.

[thewaterboy]

Salisbury-Rowan turning into a shootout. If Rowan can grab a lead, I would imagine NJAC carnage ensues.

Wesley still needs consistency at QB. Hopefully they can find it soon.

[Teamski]

.....And the NJAC Circus is alive and well.  Rowan takes out Salisbury to even everybody up with a single loss.  Wow......

[Bartman]

Hmmm.. Rowan does have an offense.......this really confuses me

[wesleydad]

they have an offense against Salisbury, not against anyone else.  I am stunned that they could score 34 against anyone from the 2 games I have seen them play.  Guess Salisbury is a fraud too.  The east is a mess again.

[@d3jason]

Anybody know why Jones and Canonico didn't play for the Gulls?

[wesleydad]

Well, the njac is a mess.  beating each other.  the njac has 5 teams at 3-1.  rowan has wins against cnu and salisbury so they look to be in the drivers seat.  I am not sure how they won either game, but they did and that is all that matters.  They have Wesley in 2 weeks and if they win that and beat frostburg they win the title.  Salisbury still has CNU and Wesley left, and after yesterday's performance, based on d3jason's question, did not play two key players.  Hmmmm.  Wesley beat Frostburg, lost to CNU and still has Rowan and Salisbury left.  CNU has Frostburg and Salisbury left with a win over Wesley and a loss to Rowan.  Frostburg lost to Wesley and still has the other 3 left on the schedule so I do not see them hanging around.  Projecting on how I think it plays out and this is if Jones and Canonico are still playing for Salisbury.

Wesley 8-1 winning out
Rowan 7-2 losing to Wesley
Salisbury 7-2 losing to Wesley
CNU 7-2 losing to Salisbury
Frostburg 5-4 losing to Rowan, Salisbury, and CNU

Now, if the Gulls are having player issues, then CNU wins that game and goes 8-1 and wins title via h2h with Wesley.  If Wesley does not win the league they are in a tough spot for a pool c bid.  Del Val may win the MAC which would be good for Wesley and if they don't may be 8-2 with a win over Wesley.  The loser of the e8 game between alfred/fisher will be 9-1 if they both are undefeated going into the last game and probably the first team on the board from the east.  Hobart's loss yesterday and what looks like a likely loss to St. Lawrence puts them at 8-2 and behind Wesley in my opinion since Wesley will have wins over both Rowan and Salisbury.  But if Hobart beats St. Lawrence and wins the LL title, then you would have to figure a 9-1 St. Lawrence would be ahead of Wesley too.  I am not an expert at the pool C, but I think Wesley needs Del Val to win the MAC and St. Lawrence to beat Hobart.  Depending on the Stevenson/Widener result, Stevenson could end up 9-1 with a loss to DelVal so I will be cheering for Widener this Saturday, Wesley could be the second team on the board for the east.  Pool C from east board, if all plays out, Alfred/Fisher loser, Wesley, won't matter after that because 3 are not getting in from east.  That would be a very small hope to get in as a 2 loss pool c from the east.  Plenty has to go right for Wesley.  Win out and get help from someone against CNU and win the NJAC.

Wesley's definitely going to need some help before they are in control of their own destiny again.

It is nice to see EJ Lee and Jamar Baynard start to step up and carry the offense. Especially since it seems like the QB competition is not over.
