I don't want to get apoplectic over a scrimmage, but there does seem to be real cause for concern.  I think Cuselax summed it up best - there is no excuse for the defense to be struggle this much.  And I know it was only fall ball, but the highlights posted by Mercer showed some dreadful defense being played against a very inferior opponent. To read Mellen's quotes about motivation and adrenaline being an issue is certainly disheartening.  It is only a scrimmage, but it feels like the team needs to be doing a better job of getting their heads in the right place.  I don't think you can expect just turn your emotions/motivations on and off like a switch. Is leadership a problem? Again it doesn't seem like they've had a true leader/motivator since Brian Mcgill left and that was a long time ago.  Hope to see a different team line up against Colgate on Friday.

Desko seemed pretty sure that Dordevic and Rhefuss would be back against Colgate - imagine they won't run Dordevic full time. Would love to see Fernandez back as well.
