A quick coda to a promising season spoiled:  Watched some games again.  I was impressed with two team assets.  First, the toughness that SU showed over the course of the game.  One example: during the Hobart game, when Hobart was meeting SU goal for goal in the third quarter, with the ball in the center of the field or on the ride, middies and attacks went after Hobart like piranhas after roast beef.  Every loose ball was an invitation to tear the ball away, knock the socks off the carrier and race to the offensive end.  To generalize, this team was full of tough sobs who became more aggressive when things got difficult.

Second, the versatility of almost all the offensive players was inspiring.  The middies could all play from x, dodge and score or pass very effectively across field.  They could dodge from up top and score with either hand, cross from GLE and score in close.  They could literally wear out good teams.  It might take a couple quarters, but their conditioning and competence won for them...that is every game.  This was a well conditioned, ferocious bunch, well coached on both ends of the field.  Even more intense the disappointment.
