Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 4962055, member: 4819"] Good stuff as always Jeremy. I think it's important to point out that, while both teams are coming off of just one day of rest, Colgate is coming off a road game, headed to another road game, while Cuse is coming off a home game and doesn't have to travel. Colgate just played a full end to end two hour game against a top five team, while SU was able to rest their starters for a full quarter. SU really needs to take advantage of that disparity. Colgate has two new coordinators this year that seem to be making a difference. One is Colin Munro who seems to be the OC, he doesn't have much experience at all, but is the son of Jamie, the coach of Denver pre-Bill Tierney. Like others have pointed out they scored a bunch of "big boy" goals against Penn State, as they Nittany Lions didn't look like they had any desire to slide. Curious to see if SU deploys a different strategy. I imagine the SU SSDMs will see a lot of action. On flip side, Penn State scored a lot of assisted goals, that should be no problem for the Orange as that fits into their wheel house. I might disagree with Jeremey about matchups - Jack Turner is a big boy, 6'4 and he scored two goals off the dodge on Saturday. Might have to stick Dwan on him and Figuerias on Minicus. I think this will still be a pretty sloppy game, it's early and both teams just played two days ago. Sounds like SU will just have a walk through prior to the game today. For SU you have to hope some of the clearing issues come down to nerves and that those are gone now. I think if it's a sloppy game that still probably favors SU as I think they should have an edge with Stevens/Dwan/Wright/Olexo patrolling the middle of the field. I think this game will be much closer than the Vermont game and I am going with a four goal win for the Orange, something like 16-12. Go 'Cuse! [/QUOTE]
