It's tough watching a team that drops its head, sprints to the endline, and blindly throws in a cross (or crosses into the box early in a possession with no one by the goal) win that game.

I'm not going to pretend that I watch every (or even a lot of) Cuse game(s), but I saw a team that had a few really nice possessions with a purpose in tight quarters.  Having the ball in the corner, finding an open man on the 6 extended, laying a playable ball back to the 18, with a teammate making a nice diagonal run across the defense coming from an outside midfield position is a nice, well-coached play.  You didn't see that from Clemson.

I'm not gonna lie, the defensive shape and help was awful by both teams, but 'Cuse's coach, whoever he is, obviously plays a style that is designed to win at a higher level than the current NCAA D-I.  Again, I don't know who he is, or anything about him, but I wouldn't hate seeing more coaches like him in our amateur ranks.
