Salisbury's offense wasn't anything to slouch at through their first three games.

The Falcons put up 36 points (29 in the second half) against Saucon Valley in the opening week. They scored 27 at Notre Dame (Green Pond) two weeks later.

But the Falcons' offensive performance in Week 4 was one of their best under head coach Andy Cerco. And it's sure to capture attention across the Colonial League football landscape.

Salisbury, which scored touchdowns on eight of their 11 offensive possessions, hung 54 points on the scoreboard in Friday's 54-27 romp over Bangor (1-3) at Paul Farnan Field. The win gives the Falcons consecutive victories for the first time under Cerco.

"I think it's one of the more complete games we've played as an offense," Cerco said. "If you look at what we wanted to do, we wanted to set up the run to open up the pass. I think we were successful in doing that."

"We put a lot of hard work in the offseason," Weber said. "We played a great game today. We wanted this win. We wanted to make a statement in the league to tell them that we're here, and we're a team to mess with."

The Falcons (2-2) recorded 432 total yards, 232 of those came in the ground game.

A 27-27 game at halftime quickly swung in the favor of Salisbury, much like the beginning of the game had.

Weber led the Falcons on a 10-play scoring drive to open the second half. His 25-yard touchdown toss Kyle Hartzell, his third passing score of the game, gave the Falcons a 34-27 3:39 into the third quarter. After the Falcons recovered a Slater fumble on their next drive, Weber increased Salisbury's lead to 41-27 with a 1-yard touchdown throw to Mason Donaldson.

"At halftime, we just talked to our kids about relaxing and doing what we do," Cerco said. "If we play our game and do what we want to do, we can compete with a lot of teams here."

The Weber-to-Donaldson combo was lethal all night. The two connected six times for 97 yards and two scores. Weber completed 12-of-14 passes for 200 yards and four touchdowns. His only incompletions were an interception early in the game after his arm was hit, and a cautious throw out of the end zone on the Falcons' last drive.

"He's my No. 1 wide receiver," Weber said of Donaldson. "He's a great kid. He can get open, and he has great hands."

Teddy Denver and Nick Sikora added back-to-back rushing touchdowns in the final six minutes to make it a 54-27 game with 1:53 to play.

What is becoming the Falcons' staple, six running backs recorded carries against the Slaters. Alex Kubinec (58 yards), Sikora (54 yards), Shane Wittman (43 yards) and Devin Irwin (41 yards) led the way.

"What the running game does is open up the passing game," Weber said. "When the running game is on, the passing game is on. When they are both on, we are very hard to beat."

The Bangor offense drove down the field in less than two minutes to open the game with a 7-0 lead on Saivaughn Vass' 2-yard rushing score. The Slaters picked up runs of 16 and 34 yards on that drive.

But after rushing for over 200 yards in the first half with their single-wing offense, and tying the game at 27 on a scoring strike from Mike Hlatkey to Dallas Labar just 35.5 seconds until halftime, the Falcons' defense remained stout in the final 24 minutes.

In addition to allowing zero points after the half, the Falcons allowed just 27 yards on the ground. Two passes, one on a third-and-12 and one on a fourth-and-10, accounted for the other 53 Slater yards in the second half.

"They do a good job with their offensive scheme," Cerco said. "They run the single-wing, they run it well, and they know what they're doing. It's tough to adjust to when you see it once or twice a year. Our defensive coordinate, Geoff Laird, made some adjustments in the second quarter, and we decided to change up what our plan was."

After falling behind 7-0 early, the Falcons took a 21-7 lead after the first quarter with three touchdowns in a span of 3:49.

Wittman's 10-yard run made it an 8-7 Falcon lead after a successful two-point conversion. A 1:30 later, Salisbury took advantage of a Bangor bad snap on a punt that was recovered on the Slaters' own 3-yard line. Denver rushed in for a score on the next play. Weber then threw his first touchdown of the game with 3:01 to play in the opening quarter.

Vass led the Slaters with 126 rushing yards and two scores on 17 carries. Sean Wolderich carried 20 times for 108 yards and a touchdown.

"Every week is a new week," Weber said. "We have to play hard. We have a lot of confidence going into this next game, but we can't have our heads too high."
