A lot of people were pointing to Hofstra as the trap game but really St Joes always was unless Donnie was healthy and ready to go. Finals and a long layover after a brutal stretch with a key win.

Also St Joe’s is not the team that got blitzed by Virginia Tech anymore. That’s not trying to paint them as an opponent we should have to fight tooth and nail to get a win vs but if the team was battling illness plus finals plus rust along with our known FT issues ( Betsey was the biggest culprit last night) then last night went about as you would expect.

St Joes played with a lot more confidence and aggression than I saw in the long highlights from their earlier games.

Anyways we need to get Donnie back and it’s crystal clear that our offense needs him a great deal. Hofstra is a great opportunity to get a decent non conference mid major win given they have out performed and we also should be more than ready and amped for that one. Then put on the rout the next 3 and walk into a big ACC opener to keep stacking wins and getting Q1/Q2 wins to boot. As long as we defend like we can these games won’t always be pretty but bad losses are far less likely.

Just to add- we want Tenn to beat Ville and then get on a roll as well as we want Houston to do the same Kansas too. Keep those games as high Q1 level games all year and then we do our part.

Wouldn’t hurt if Monmouth got on a roll and wins their conference too but those kind of outcomes are just gravy so long as we do what we have to.
