Syracuse welcomes former Big East foe Rutgers to the Dome this Saturday in highly anticipated ACC-Big 10 matchup.  I don't know a ton about Rutgers (Jeremy had some good thoughts in the tiring schedule thread), so this will be short. The biggest concern for me is the goalie - The Scarlet Knights have two losses but those occurred against two solid teams in Loyola and Army (Edlemann was out against the Black Knights). Since he's been back in the starting lineup he's put up some really nice save numbers. SU has to be patient and work for good shots. Will Buttermore see an increased role (maybe he gets bumped up to EMO?)

Defensively who guards Mullins and who guards Charalambides? Mullins might be the matchup for Mellen size wise.  Not sure what to make of Rutgers at the face-off X, they have a rotation of three guys, one of whom has a 70% success rate but has only 35 attempts.  Hopefully SU can continue to utilize Varello and Phaup to find the hot hand.

Have to stay focused, this game is huge in terms of giving the team a little bit of breathing room with perhaps the two biggest games of the year coming up (rankings wise at least).
