Denver's 7th goal was awfully nice; they're playing great D (including on man down defense) and getting more confident on the offensive side of things.

You know, one of the things about starting in a zone despite how effective it was, is that slows everything down. In a way, that decision meant Syracuse wasn't going to be out early in transition.

They've gotten better with each passing game.
Not too to mention they are faster, quicker, better stick work, and have better footwork than Cuse offense.

It’s gonna take some sexy shooting off picks by Cuse or transition goals to stay in this.
Yeah, they're running out of time. DU is doing to SU what SU did to Duke. This has been such a weird, streaky year where it seems like every team in D1 has a game or two where they just don't ever get off the team bus to play. I can't figure out why....
😎 goal off a pick.
A fraudulent intent, however carefully concealed at the outset, will generally, in the end, betray itself.

If a host school can't provide the proper field they shouldn't be allowed to host.

+1,000

Or how about at least burn off the football lines for a week?
I'm sure the NCAA would love to pay Towson $1M to replace that field, I'm sure they would. That's about the price it costs to install field turf.
😂😂 you don’t to replace the field to cover up the football lines.
Yes. You would have to do that. The blue paint they use for lacrosse gets reapplied every week for games. The football lines use a different paint that gets reapplied once a year. Unless you mean they should paint green over the football lines.
there are vaying levels of "paint". some last a week, some much longer. there is also chalk, which would have no problem washing away in short order. whether that would look better covering up football lines is another question. but i'd be pretty surprised if the football lines aren't stitched in.

SU defense looks bad. Who's that coach...

They’ve regressed to their norm. Cuse defense has been trash the past decade

The next time we see the Syracuse attack line will be on a missing persons milk carton.

Yikes, close one. I think Will Mark would like that one back if it's a good goal (although not much reaction time with the guy that close and the defender falling down).

Yeah, that was weird. As they also mentioned, in reality when it goes to 0 it would initially actually be 0.9 and counting down, would be a fell second after 0 to true 0, if that makes sense. Ball was out.

Are the Denver players, coming from altitude, in better cardio-vascular condition? I see a lot of Syracuse players huffing and puffing.
