NJAC  Pick-EM's  For  Week  #1  Are  Posted  On  The  NJAC  Pick-Em  Board.  Time For Another Year.

[CNU85]

Everyone be prepared for yet another soaked weekend in the east. Looks like Dorian will turn and head north. Arrival time.....about game time Saturday. Let's hope it keeps turning out to sea.

It seems most years there's always one weekend where a tropical storm/hurricane meshes with the weather on game day. I think you guys got washed one weekend last year. I recall the 08 season where Wesley was supposed to open at CNU but that got washed out due to a hurricane too.

Wesley will be further north that first weekend thankfully against Franklin Pierce.

Hoping this hurricane doesn't get too close and they shut the campus down and thus the game is cancelled. Right now we are in the cone and expecting 90mph winds on Friday. That's enough to close campus by Wednesday night and evacuate Thursday. Yep. That wiped out our game against Frostburg last year even though it was an away game. When campus is closed all activities are cancelled. Stay tuned.

Hope you guys get it in! NC is a good opponent, and I definitely recommend the return trip to Naperville next year.

Here's a way too early (and way too short) analysis of Wesley's opening matchup against Franklin Pierce. Franklin Pierce is D2 this year, transitioning from sprint football. They dont have an updated roster online yet... and I can't imagine the Wesley coaches have a ton of reliable film to go off of (if any). So that aspect of the game will be interesting. It may take some time for the teams to feel each other out, but I expect Wesley to come out on top. They return a ton of skill players on offense. Defense will be interesting. I think they return a lot of pieces as well. Obviously you lose Cappadonna Miller and Dequay Harris-Winbush in the secondary, and Vincent Ebron on the D-line, but other than that, the unit remains intact.

Everyone will be watching that QB situation for Wesley. Marrocco and Mullin would seem to be the frontrunners for the job based on seniority. Wagenhoffer, a sophomore, and freshman Drew Fry, could be relevant also. Whoever is under center, they will have to be able to get the ball to their skill guys, who are just as good as any other year... or so it seems.

Heard some about the Wesley-Albright scrimmage as well. The final was 27-20 Wesley, but my source told me if it were a real game it'd be your typical monkey stomp in favor of Wesley. Always hard to tell with scrimmages... Not too clear on how the QBs did.

UPDATE: Franklin Pierce has a female kicker per their Twitter. The rest of their roster.... no clue.

UMHB opens against Albright in week 2. Last year we put 90+ on them. We'll see how it goes this year. We lost a lot on offense, so we'll see. I don't expect a huge difference, but it will be nice to see new faces do things.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect a huge difference in that matchup (maybe not 90) but UMHB will win handily. Albright did go 0-10 last year.

Wesley vs Albright scrimmage.
Some safety for Wesley had 3 INTs, one for a 90 yd return. l have all 3 videos but I guess you can't post them here.The one on the TD looked more like a punt return or kick return. I have no idea who or where the Albright QB was throwing the ball to and why it was so high in the air like that.
Wesley looked good on both sides of the ball but the back ups need as much work as they can get right now. This scrimmage could have easily gotten out of hand but the back ups were in a lot which makes the score seem closer than what actually happened on the field

Coray Williams is probably the player in question.

He may end up as DPOTY for the NJAC.

Sounds promising! Any thoughts on the QBs?

Good thing our game is on Friday night in Pennsylvania.

Things have changed since my post. Looks like it will head off the coast after touching NC slightly. We will get rain and wind Thursday and Friday. Game time should be good on Saturday. Should be bone dry in PA for your game. Good luck!

Countdown!

Good article by Andy Walter on Wesley's outlook for 2019. Really hoping for a return to the status quo.

Per the article, Dave Marrocco is slated to get the start at QB on Saturday. Jon Mullin will mix in. Coach Knapp likened it to the Falkenberg-Kesack position battle of 2016, which went well into the season before Falkenberg was truly QB1. The only concern is that there is not a lot of room for error in a very unforgiving D3 regular season. I hope they get it right and someone steps up sooner rather than later. The article mentioned that Drew Fry and Wagenhoffer could see time depending on if Marrocco or Mullin falter.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!
