Good post as usual. Agree with just about everything.

I could be wrong but in the 2nd half SU didn't seem to have much of a sense of urgency and definitely appeared  to call of the dogs midway through the third.

That said my concern would be that much like last year they had a large time period in the 2nd half where the O ground to a halt and we did appear to struggle with the zone some. I tend to put that more on SU offense just kinda taking whatever shot or look presented itself first  versus the gorgeous ball movement we saw in the 1st half. Still I hope if we see a zone again were looking to work in Kellogg and let him unleash a few lazers.

Thought defensively team played pretty well. Kol again got lulled to sleep on a possession and also slide for absolutely no reason causing a goal. Good to see a lot of ssdms out there getting run. They got beat a few times but Mark bailed them out.

Fogos were again outstanding, to the point u were surprised they actually lost a draw. Kohn looks uber confident out there. Wierman is a monumental upgrade from anyone we've seen to date, gonna be a fascinating matchup.

Liked that English had a good game and seemed more involved, hes a huge component this year  I worry a little about Thomson vs Maryland and Army, he can get swallowed up against really good defenses and I assume teams are gonna poll English or Leo. He was pretty quiet yesterday but that's gonna happen.

All in all very encouraging start to the year. Birtwistle getting back to run some rust is a great sign. Few areas to work on and address especially defensively but so far so good.
