Good post, a few thoughts: I certainly don't think Bingo is a cupcake by any stretch but they lost a ton to graduation including Moore who was really the entire focal point of there offense. I think they may have lost there goalie as well. This should be a game that maybe plays out like the Hofstra scrimmage very close low scoring first half with SU breaking away in the second. If this is a close game late or god forbid we lost, that would be a horrific sign.

I think your point about Army and toughness is valid but not both of those games that we switched were right in the beginning. The St. Johns game has been played somewhere around the 4th-6th game of the year and definitely after Army. I think Army gives SU fits because there a very good defensive team that is usually solid at the X and in Goal and knows how to gameplan for SU. They also rarely beat themselves so it ends up being a close game more times then not.  SU has had a lot of success late in the season there first 3/4 years in the ACC as save for last year we were in the ACC title game every year and usually made a nice run. Problem has been letdowns post ACC tournament. A tougher up front schedule will definitely help against the Dukes, NDs, and UNCs of the world but you also need to have a few easier games to get W's and get some different guys PT and build up that record/resume. I do agree about your last point with player confidence and many factors coming into play.
