With games like Rutgers, Hopkins, Cornell, and UNC, it seems like the only shot they have at beating us is if they get into a shoot out with us and win 17-15 or something like that. All had poor defense last year and that defense is even further depleted. Rutgers loses Garrett Michaeli, Kyle Pless (probably their best cover guy), and of course Max Edelmann. Hopkins loses Danny Jones, Pat Foley, and Robert Kuhn, all the best respectively at SSDM, LSM, and close, and all of them didn't impress me much already. Cornell loses Fleet Wallace, who already couldn't stay with Rehfuss, and longtime SSDM Kason Tarbell. UNC, as Jeremy pointed out, loses their entire close D lineup, including the absolute monster Jack Rowlett who is impossible to replace.

Lehigh/Denver scrimmages do make me think we took Bomberry and Cunningham for granted on some level. Not only did they own their matchups all year but they were 3 year starters, which lead to excellent team defense skills. Murphy and DePietro will definitely make more mistakes on the team defense side of things than they did, and that is already a slight weakness in Mellen's game, at least when compared to his 1 v 1 skills.
Offense should be one of the best in the country. Too much talent to be denied.
