Great work as always Powellfan! I wish the fact that we beat up Petey Lasalla at the X, who held his own against ND, was more comforting, but I just have too many trust issues with the FOGOs now. Lasalla has shown some impressive ability (outside of our game I suppose) to keep on competing at the X despite looking out matched at times. He did it against UNC and he did it against ND on Saturday, both two headed monsters. I think if we just due everything we can to limit the violations, then Phaup will be able to perform in a similar way. He was losing the clamp by a mile to Naso who has been beatable at times this season (held to about 50% against Mercer and Richmond and 60% against Airforce). Given how lopsided he was against Phaup I am hoping the mental game was playing a role and that we see a similar bounce back like he had after the Army game.

Aside from the FOGO I am also concerned with the high quality of their SSDMs as you mentioned. Both Hallenbeck and Cassidy looked fantastic against UVA. Are they shutdown Dordevic/Trimboli level good? Probably not, but maybe good enough to limit some of our second line production. ND offense as a whole looked highly effective at limiting 1 v 1 situations, but our offense under March involves a lot more scoring due to motion. Hoping we get some goals in a simlar fashion to the Duke game with well timed effective cuts, backdoors, etc.
