I think Hopkins will be better than people think but that schedule does them no favors.  I'm guessing they'd be favored against Navy and maybe Utah and Loyola. The game against the Orange is probably a toss up and the rest look to be uphill climbs, even against Jacksonville.

Their defense has the chance to be quite good and they have solid face-off play if Narewski comes back healthy.  People like to say that SU defense "can't be worse than last year" and I have the same thought about the Hopkins offense. They made a change at the coordinator spot and bring in John Crawley who seems like he could unlock some things. Plus I think they had some injuries last year with Grimes, Maher was out for the year and some of their young middies were dealing with knocks.  I think the big question is goalie, a spot they've struggled with for a while now.  They bring in the transfer from Bryant but his stats don't look particularly eye opening.

The Hopkins fans seem very high on their freshmen on the offensive side of the ball. IL doesn't seem quite as high but they've of course been wrong before. Collison does indeed look like he will be a bear to play against.  English and Marquis also look impressive.  Curious if they will see the field early.
