Lots of ways to interpret the game against Army, though most important remember to be grateful it was a win against a hard competing opponent. This is a strange one though, Army looked invincible against two pretty decent teams in UMass and Rutgers, but then demolished by Marist.  If they hadn't played Marist I would feel very encouraged about the result, regardless of our offensive troubles. But that Marist result is really hard to come to terms with.  Oh well, time to focus on Hobart.

Fascinating stretch of games coming up, before ACC play kicks off. Hobart looks dangerous while Rutgers and Hopkins both to be really struggling early in the season. Given what is coming up later in the year (ND and Cornell are looking a lot better than what people were predicting), its really important to take care of business with these three games, and not to get complacent.

I'm glad that March and co figured things out in the second half, but that can't be a reoccurring issue.  I'm glad SU was able to play with flexibility, but can't abandon the attack unit in big games (or expect the unit to just be a "distraction" for the defense).  And while we might be quick to call for certain players benching (I know I got particularly frustrated with Quinn and Rhefuss), those players have had big games earlier in the year.  Have to keep working and put players in positions to make a difference. Again, I wish they had been a bit more creative with Scanlan, he's too good a talent to take a back seat.
