Hahah While playing for Wesley I have seen my fair share of classless moments on the part of several Wesley personalities.  But please spare me...Someone from SU talking to people from Wesley about showing class is as good a case as the pot calling the kettle black as I have ever heard.  Both parties are as guilty in the matter so it should never be brought up to begin with.  It is a conference game played by two teams that are separated by merely 40 minutes of the same highway.  Wesley hates SU and SU hates Wesley...So take your licks and run with them like we had to in 04 when we lost at your place. 

As far as how the game went...It was very indicative of how the season has gone for Wesley.  Special teams sparks the win.  We'll take the wins any way we can get them just like any other team.  Sorry about your luck...

I agree that some of the scores throughout D3 are pretty outrageous.  But I have to defend Mount Union a little bit...I have seen them on fim when I played for Wesley.  When you are blowing a team off the feild in the first half and have a running game like they have...It is simply impossible to stop scoring.  I saw them against Averett two years ago.  Averett is a team that even gives Wesley problems and they were just destroying them late with long TD runs so the end score looked even worse.  I would have to aggree that they should think about moving up a division...But if they do...Dont expect things to change.  Mount Union will only attract more freak athletes if they have scholarship money to throw around.  It wouldnt be long before they dominated DII. 

I was the part of what people would call "running up the score" when I was at wesley both on the winning and losing end.  DIII is all about finding mismatches and exploiting them...Good teams do it week in and week out.  That was the case when I was at wesley and that is the case when any GOOD team plays an inferior one.  And just when is a game OVER...I have also been a part of a comeback win where we were down by 24 points at the half and scored 42 unanswered points in the second half.  Its a hard call to make for a head coach sometimes.  On top of that...When you have ample second stringers to put on the field to "run out the clock"...What are you supposed to tell them?  DONT SCORE?  DONT TRY SO HARD?  Its a touchy subject.

It is only a penalty if you BREAK the huddle with 12 players.  You are allowed to have 13 players in the huddle at one time so long as you dont break the huddle...And yes this is an advantage of goin no huddle like Wesley does.  If it were a penalty to have 12 men in the huddle...Every team would get penalized five times a game when they change personell groups. 

As far as defense goes...You can have more then eleven on the playing field untill the ball is snapped.  If there is a rule against having 12 in the huddle on D then it is single-handedly the most uncalled penalty in sports...Kinda like the offsides penalty on the kickoff...The refs let it slide most of the time unless its very obvious.
