You can point to a lot of reasons why this team has struggled lately, but one thing I notice and it has been this way all year is a complete lack of emotion. No one on this team gets fired up.  If the score wasn't on the screen I doubt you could tell if SU was winning or losing based on how the players act.

Most team sports are games of emotion. Emotion is one of the intangibles people always talk about. It is tough, if not impossible, to teach it or fake it. Emotion can help teams overcome disadvantages. When a team shows no emotion they are already at a disadvantage. Granted, too much emotion can also be a disadvantage, but I would gladly trade too much emotion for no emotion.

When a student trainer is the guy trying to get the team fired up before the game in the middle of the huddle, you have to ask yourself, "is there a leader on this team?"  (Not meant as a knock on the student trainer, but this shouldn't be left to him to do.)
