Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 344702, member: 485"] I agree with most of that, but tend to be skeptical about the claim of the "youth of the team." Practically every college team has the sort of youth we do -- starting a soph in a few positions (Foy, Kobena, Reddish, Davis), no frosh or RF starting, mostly juniors and seniors in key roles. Almost every team will have a few juniors moving into the starting line-up (Wilkes, Hickey, Wales, West, Smith). I just don't see that we are anything but typical. NW had only 3 or 4 returning starters on defense -- less experienced than our offense. We can't use the "youth" excuse at this stage of the program. Our players who are good enough to play need to trim down the mistakes, and this team will be fine. [/QUOTE]
