I wouldn't say it was a fluke - watched it online this morning.  Cornell had a great game plan and the interior defensive personnel to pull it off. Shut off TN for most of the game - in the odd moments he did get the ball they would double early and make him give it up.  Then had the Pulver kid (brother played at Syracuse) man up against Fields and he did a fantastic job controlling him.  Made Albany win the game from the midfield. It did look brutally cold which no doubt impacted the play and Albany looked especially sloppy - much like Cuse did against them. The obvious difference maker is TD Ierlan - kid is dominant. Packed on some muscle from last year but looks every bit as quick. The other kid I am really impressed with is Sean Eccles (Corcoran) - kid starting to remind me of Salcido (under sized but a great shooter).

Guessing Albany is going to struggle against Maryland - Tillman is such a good coach.  He'll find a way to neutralize TD and they have the better matchups at the midfield.  Should be a fun game.

As for Virginia - don't discount this win.  They are young, but very well coached and have a lot of talent - maybe not #5 but they are a top 12 team.  This was a huge win for Cuse with JH (better than their #18 ranking) and Duke (a legit top 5 team) looming.
