Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1858091, member: 622"] I agree that teams generally perform better against teams that play similar to what they practice against and that the grinding teams could pose a problem; however, with a quick attack offense that can score quickly can easily demoralize a slow grinding offense while sparking their own defense. Also, once the fast paced offense gets ahead, the grinding offense must leave its game plan, which defeats the purpose of their grinding offense. Please make no mistake, I fully understand - and expect - our opponents to score more. HCDBs system is built on our offense scoring even more. The defense creates a few breaks (stops or turnovers) and the offense exploits the opportunities. I also agree that if we lose to a team perceived to be a lesser than Syracuse team, then we will be bruised in our reputation. Shouldn't a higher ranked team have their reputation take the hit for losing to a lesser team? [/QUOTE]
