A couple more thoughts now that I have actually watched the 1st quarter. Clearing game was disgusting as others were mentioning. Maybe its easier to look back after this with a victory, but at least a couple of those blown clears were unexplainable choices from Mark. He of course made up for it in cage. There were at least a couple more where unexplainable is the word I would use. UNC is a fast athletic team, the 10 man ride is designed to overwhelm teams and often has you looking crazy. Thats why so many attempt the 80 yard shot or what have you. Not saying it excuses everything yesterday, but we are not a bad clearing team overall and we turn it over less than any team in the country. We also did tighten up in the second half.

Found myself disagreeing with a lot of Quint's classic bold takes, one being something along the lines of  "they dont have ball carrying talent." I think part of the reason the offense has been successful is because we do have ball carrying guys who give teams trouble off the dodge. Kirst is one without question, would say the same for Hiltz, Leo, Spallina (in his own way), and even Simmons and Rhoa have given ssdms trouble there as well. Even everyones favorite player griffin cook! He plays for a reason people. If everyone was slow as hell and not drawing slides we would not be where we are this year on offense. 15 goals with all those lost face offs and blown clear attempts. Another great day for the offense.
