    423, 5 scores for B.J. as Swarm move to 2-0

    Report by Isaac Robinson | September 20th, 2020

    Career days for Henderson, Monroe -- Questions on defense -- Kalispell's Cohen slams Barkley, Henderson for acting "bush league"


    Henderson led the Swarm to another win last night

    Westlake, OH -- "This was expected," said B.J. Henderson after he led Westlake State to a 45-21 win over the Kalispell Warhawks. "We're not playing games this year." Henderson sure isn't. Riding the momentum of a 363 yard, 4 TD game in Week 2, the senior came out and set a career mark for passing yards, with 423, and threw 5 touchdowns.

    It wasn't one-sided all the way, as both teams scored 14 in the first quarter, with Hakim Johnson nickel and diming the Swarm up and down the field, as the defense struggled to generate any pressure. The Warhawks kept pace, even briefly leading 21-14 before the Swarm equalized with Henderson's third touchdown pass of the first half.

    But then Johnson, feeling pressure for the first time all game, threw a bad pass into the flat near junior corner Terrance Olson, who was all over it, getting his first interception and returning it to the Warhawk 24. B.J. Henderson proceeded to find Barrett Miller up the seam for a touchdown to make it 28-21, and the Swarm never looked back.


    Turning point

    Kalispell wouldn't score again. While Henderson only threw one more touchdown pass, his counterpart Johnson seemed rattled, and didn't get much going in the second half, throwing another pick and ending up with just 173 passing yards on 23 completions.

    Kalispell head coach Amir Cohen wasn't happy with Barkley for leaving Henderson in all game, slamming the pair as "bush league stat-padders." Barkley declined to fire back at Cohen, saying that the win was all that mattered.

    There are two big questions for this team, with the first being the offensive line. Henderson was sacked 5 times, and constantly faced pressure.


    Henderson beats the blitz to find Robert Coley

    The other big question following this game remains the defense. It's anyone's guess which version will show up: The version that allowed Kalispell to score 21 points in just over a quarter, or the version that shut them out the rest of the way? They'll be buoyed next week at Illinois with the likely returns of Jeremy Jackson, who was held out as a precaution this week, and linebacker Nick Watts, the team's leading tackler in 2019.

      Cardinal Rising -- Last year's #1 recruit, QB Jake Palmer, has the Stanford Cardinal sitting at 3-0 with 608 yards and 8 scores through 3 games, along with 3 rushing touchdowns. Could he bring Stanford back to the top of college football?

      New Leader -- B.J. Henderson was the preseason Heisman favorite, but his odds have risen as LSU's freshman stud Earl Thompson has become the new frontrunner. Thompson has thrown for 1112 yards and 13 scores, with 200 rushing yards and 5 more scores through 3 games. He could become only the second freshman ever to win the Heisman.

        Y3 G3 Preview - @ #10 Illinois






        Coach Barkley's Take

        This is going to be VERY tough. Illinois were a top 5 team last year, and they've got an unreal freshman QB in Noah Fields. He can run, he can throw, and most importantly, he doesn't make mistakes. He's got weapons too: great route runners with great hands. Courtney Wright is the only deep threat though, so expect a lot of short to intermediate passes. A.J. Harris and John Banks are good backs, both can do damage.

        Defensively, we should be able to tear them up. They don't have any real stars, and if we spread them out, we'll be able to complete passes. Our O-line is obviously a concern, but their D-linemen are run stoppers more than pass rushers.

        This is a huge matchup. We can get into the top 25 if we win here, and show the CFB world that we're serious.

          Good luck against the Fight Illini. Looks like Fields is the real deal. How was he not the #1 Recruit. Did you create him cause I don't think I have ever seen a Freshman come in at 93.


          Also happy to see Vader finally get his first "W" as a HC

            Thanks man! Probably gonna get the game played tonight then put it all together in a day or two.

            I boost AWR for about 20% of freshman QBs. Fields was an 85 to begin with with like 72 AWR, he got the boost which brought him to 93.

            Memphis are doing well, McBride is throwing for like 300 a game and your TE is currently leading the nation in catches and yards.

              Echoing dfsJunkie, 72 pass attempts is insane! Glad to see Westlake survive and BJ thrive, and also Slaughter pick up his first win as a head coach.

                Re: #SWARM - RELOADED

                Catching up, great start to the season with BJ really putting the team on his back. Still a bit of a turnover struggle occasionally, but he's got the talent to make up for those mistakes when they do happen like in the opener. The defense still is a work in progress, but the second half against Kalispell was an improvement that hopefully carries on through the season.

                Who in the world came up with that color matchup against Boise?! Had to be brutal playing that game with both teams in basically the same jersey tops, haha.

                Excited to see what comes of your matchup with Illinois. A win here could really throw Westlake onto the national spotlight for the first time in their history, for sure. Will definitely be tough, though, as I am a big PJ Fleck guy and like what he brings to the table as a coach. Fields is a monster (a Fields dominating the Big 10 where have we seen this before???) and should give you all you can handle. I love making impact freshmen, especially at the QB position, and am glad to see that you are doing the same to really spice things up in the dynasty! It's a shame EA didn't get to keep developing NCAA into present day as I'm sure impact freshmen and youngsters would have been a huge thing.

                  I was so scared we'd blown the game, glad we pulled that one out. Gonna be interesting to see how Tulane does this year, Maxwell at QB has been better than I expected.

                  I don't know why on earth I put Boise in gray haha. I think that was why that pick was thrown honestly, I saw Monroe in my peripherals and threw it. Glad we pulled it out in the end, and I was also glad to see the defense keep a team under 30 points for once. Very good sign ahead of a game that could potentially get us into the spotlight.

                  Fleck's a good coach, I'm also gonna enjoy playing against a pro style offense haha, way too much of the spread no huddle in the AAC/MWC opponents.

                  I didn't even make the Justin Fields connection lol, maybe they're cousins who knows. I really do love to see 3/4 year starters in dynasty, it makes it feel so much more lifelike, and there are a handful of guys that have approached CFB records. Kurt Alfred, the QB from Minnesota who won the Heisman last year, threw for 150 scores, 6 away from breaking the all-time record. And he got injured as a sophomore, I remember tracking him while simming.

                  Thanks for checking in guys! Playing Illinois in a bit, might even get the recap out tonight, we'll see.

                    Poppin' Champaign: Swarm stun Illini 35-30

                    414 passing yards for Henderson as he leads Swarm to a win despite throwing 2 picks -- Defense comes up in big spots despite Fields' great statline -- Swarm enter top 25 for first time ever


                    B.J. Henderson beats the blitz, finding Aaron Jefferson on a screen pass

                    Champaign, IL -- Top trends on Twitter yesterday? "BJ Henderson," "Westlake State", and "Swarm" were up there, as the electrifying senior quarterback led Westlake State to a 35-30 upset of Illinois, who ranked #10 coming in.

                    Illinois' hotshot freshman Noah Fields entered having completed 74% of his throws for 748 yards with 11 scores and no picks. Westlake State's defense didn't shut him down; he managed 255 yards and a score, completing 26 of 32 pass attempts. Meanwhile, his counterpart, our very own B.J. Henderson threw a pair of first half interceptions, one of which was taken back for 6.

                    And yet, despite losing the turnover battle and committing 6 penalties to the Illini's 2, Westlake State took this game to the wire, ultimately winning it on a 4th and 2 conversion with under 2 minutes to go.

                    "One hell of a win," said Dion Barkley. "We came in confident, never scared, and we shut down one hell of an offense for the last half hour."

                    Barkley actually somewhat sold his defense short there: the Illini had just 2 sustained touchdown drives, and both came in the first quarter. Aside from a 75 yard run from tailback A.J. Harris, Illinois didn't hit paydirt for the final 3 quarters.

                    Barkley credits Joey Jones, the former South Alabama head coach who was hired as a DC over the offseason, for a new attitude on D: "I gotta credit Joey for this. We were soft as (expletive) last year, couldn't stop anything, and he's really done wonders with whipping this unit into shape and giving us that killer instinct that we already had on O."

                    After a 3 and out to open the game, Fields led a quick scoring drive, completing 6 of 6 passes for 67 yards and capping the drive by finding Robert Archie for a 12 yard score. Westlake State came right back, as a blitz-beating checkdown to Frank Nelson in the flat turned into a 64 yard catch-and-run that set up a Nelson rushing score from 3 yards out a couple plays later.

                    Illinois punted but got the ball back immediately, forcing B.J. Henderson into a dangerous throw that ended up being picked off and taken all the way back to the house by Brandon Lee.

                    We talked about Henderson's mental toughness a couple weeks ago, when he threw a late pick against Boise State. Here's another shining example. This is a road game against a top 10 team, the crowd is rocking, the band is blaring their fight song, and you just threw a pick-six. Most guys hang their head there. Not B.J.

                    After misfiring on a couple passes, he came up with a big 15 yard pass to Eric Monroe, before once again finding a running back to beat an Illinois blitz, this time finding Aaron Jefferson on a screen for 33. 2 plays later, Frank Nelson was celebrating his second rushing touchdown of the game.

                    A 36 yard bomb to an open Robert Archie, followed by a facemask called aginst Tyrell White and a quick strike to tight end Dan James, set the Illini up at the 2. 4 downs to score and retake a 7 point lead. The Swarm said no, putting together a goal line stand and forcing the Illini to settle for 3.

                    Henderson kept the momentum going, completing 4 of 5 passes with a touchdown and rushing for 31 yards on the drive to put the Swarm back on top, but the lead was gone 30 seconds later courtesy of a 75 yard scamper from A.J. Harris, who isn't exactly known for his foot speed.

                    Westlake State fired back, with Monroe turning a short curl into a 38 yard pickup, but then they stalled, with a sack and a failed screen making it 3rd and 21 from the Illinois 48.

                    "That was a huge spot," said Henderson. "We don't pick that up, they get the ball back with a lot of time left, chance to retake the lead. I didn't even think we would honestly, I just wanted to make a good read and see what happened."

                    He made the right read, getting the ball to Robert Coley over the middle just as the pocket collapsed, but the speedster caught the ball well shy of the sticks and had 3 defenders closing in as he turned upfield. Coley hesitated, then exploded into a spin move, shrugging off one would-be tackler as the other two collided, with Coley somehow managing to keep his footing. Xavier Meeks threw a big block, and the 6 foot 4 junior was off to the races for a huge touchdown.


                    This play turned the tides of the game

                    Illinois couldn't score, and neither could the Swarm, as Henderson ended up tossing a redzone pick to end the half with the Swarm up 28-24.

                    Illinois opened the second half with another long, threatening drive that just petered out inside the 10, as a sack forced a 3rd and long that Fields couldn't convert, forcing the Illini to once again settle for a short field goal. Westlake State extended their lead with a long drive of their own, but they didn't stall: Johnny Nash punched in a touchdown from a yard out to make it 35-27 late in the quarter.

                    Noah Fields is an elite talent. The true freshman has been phenomenal so far, with 12 scores in 4 games, and still has yet to throw an interception. But he's still a kid. Westlake State got to him on this drive, with sustained pressure culminating in back to back sacks as he tried to escape the pocket, forcing a 3rd and 15 around midfield. He looked shaky as he dropped back, with his head on a swivel, and he misfired over the middle, forcing a punt that ultimately sank his team.


                    The pressure on Fields in the 4th ultimately won the Swarm this one

                    Westlake State ate clock, with a 10 play drive that stalled out near midfield forcing the Illini to score a touchdown, or risk not getting the football back. Once again, they looked dangerous, with Fields completing his first 3 passes and scrambling twice for 24 yards to get his team into Swarm territory. They got down inside the 10 after he found Dan James for 16, but once again, the Swarm held firm, forcing back to back incompletions on either side of a stuffed run to force another field goal, this time from 28 to make it 35-30, and despite it all, the Illini weren't out of it yet.

                    I'm sure B.J. Henderson's redzone pick loomed large in every mind but his. He looked calm, cool and collected as he passed and ran his way to a pair of first downs. He hit Xavier Meeks in the hands for what would have been a first down, save for an excellent knockout by Illinois corner Cam Holden. Robert Coley then caught his first balls since his long touchdown, for 2 and 6 yards to set up a 4th and 2 from the 37 with under 90 seconds left.

                    Westlake State unsurpisingly kept their offense on the field, as Illinois not only needed a touchdown, but had exhausted all their timeouts. Then disaster seemingly struck: Tackle J.P. Scruggs jumped early, making it a 4th and 7, and Dion Barkley sent out the punt team. But Illinois made a fatal mistake, with a special teamer lining up offsides, giving Westlake State another shot on 4th and 2. They got it, with Aaron Jefferson picking up the needed yardage, allowing B.J. Henderson to kneel out the clock.

                    This win catapults Westlake State into the top 25 for the first time ever, as they now sit at #22, the only ranked AAC team ahead of their first conference game, at home vs 3-1 ECU next week.

                        Congrats on the win. That will be a nice resume builder. Crazy to see all those Top-10 teams lose. West Lake will be moving up quick if they can stay undefeated.

                        Happy to se Coach Vader turning things around too.

                            Love the recap headline, well done. Might be a program-defining win right there! Henderson at the top of his game can allow you to play with pretty much anyone, but the defense really seemed to step up in the second half and hold Illinois' dynamic offense at bay. With the amount of upsets in that week, maybe we're in for something crazy like Westlake making a run for something beyond a NY6 bid?

                              Thanks man! Definitely going to boost our profile, we should be able to climb as long as we don't trip up in the AAC.

                              Yeah, they lucked out with the impact freshmen I distribute.

                              Glad you caught the headline, it was pretty good if I do say so myself haha.

                              We really can score on anyone, and the defense having great second halves in back-to-back weeks is encouraging. NY6 is my hope, there are only 6 P5 unbeatens left and 4 are on collision courses within their conferences, so I don't expect more than 2 to survive. Combine that with a fairly weak American and I believe we can finish in the top 10.

                              Thanks for commenting guys! I'll have the preview for ECU out soon, I'll play the game tomorrow most likely.

                                Y3 G4 Preview - vs ECU





                                Head to Head: Westlake State have won both games these teams have played. The last game in Westlake ended 50-43 (OT) back in 2018.


                                Then-ECU starter Lionel Lewis runs for 27. He threw for 205 and ran for 88 last time the Pirates were at The Hive.


                                Coach Barkley's Take

                                ECU have put up massive scores on us in each of the past 2 years. The good thing is, we've outscored them in both games, our offense is better, and their defense is worse. They're gonna spread it out, speed it up, and look to kill us with zone reads and counters. Dan Davis hasn't figured out how to consistently complete passes at the college level, so I'm not too worried about the pass game.

                                We're going to score 50+, I'm sure of it. With a couple exceptions, this defense is BAD. Unathletic guys who don't really make plays, the deep ball could really open up this week.

                                The one area where they've been excellent so far, and what has them at 3-1, is that they've won the turnover battle. Best turnover differential in the nation. We're hoping to change that.
