Message: [QUOTE="ivorytower, post: 3795091, member: 6888"] Too many calls went Duke's way including the phantom whistle. Watched Cuse players get hit several times in back with no calls. These face-off violations are partly differences in refs. Positive was some signs that Varello coming around. Up and down performances by Phaup make it clear that fogo matchups matter more after rule changes moreso than reps. He could beat Gallagher next week. Thought putting a pole at faceoffs to muck it up might be worthwhile because Naso was winning clean. Obvious scheme is to hang back when opponent wins going backward, maybe part of reason very few transition breaks agaisnt since Army. Just wish we'd get transition o going with some upfield passes. Grass is always greener on the other side, tired of hearing how good some teams are. Syracuse offense sliced up Duke despite not getting usual performances from some. Beauty of this team is not reliant on any one player, one day its one player the next its another . Got a frosh in Hiltz whose already occupying opponents top defender which spread the field. Expecting some critique of first line soon after light production of last two games. Spare the embarrassment, all legit AA and one or two of them is going off soon just as Scanlan has after his burial here. Underrated Refhuss continues to shine in his final go around , love his assertiveness this year. Some didnt want him back, thank gawd he did. Scanlan had his best game , that backhander was a thing of beauty. Second line looked good, was hoping to see more of Seebold who is turning into a man child. Lynch is dangerous and has been consistent , Cook moved well tonight with purpose. Defense showed how good they could be in second half , very encouraging, actually played played some zone, good to to give offenses another look. Wykoff did fine regardless of any stats, shutdown is too loosely thrown around. Kennedy on and off ball d was strong , yeh we want more but he doesn't get challenged much for good reason. . DiPietro played Oneill well. Gone unnoticed but he's defended the leading attackman in three previous games and has done fairly well. Dearth played good d. Porter went as the D did, he's been stopping what is stoppable and more . Great comeback. A loss is a loss and sure it bothers orange right now because winnable game but they showed tonight that they can play with the best even when not firing on all cylinders. [/QUOTE]
