Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 3320405, member: 4819"] Thanks IT, this is a good overview and I had many of the same thoughts as well. To me, with a big game at Duke in a week, this has "Let Down, Look Ahead" written all over it. Rutgers does not have a good record, and they haven't lost to the same quality of teams as Hopkins has, but save the Army game all have been close. This team has big time talent and it would be a shame if SU took this one for granted. I hope Mellen and Dearth are back for this one, if only to get them ready for Duke and the ACC schedule. Imagine that Kennedy will stay at close defense regardless of if Mellen is back. I think if Syracuse is able to win faceoffs they could run away with this one, but they can't take their foot off the gas like they did against Hopkins. Like IT has pointed out, over the past two years our defense has not been able to figure out their attack, and if we give them opportunities they will cash in. [/QUOTE]
