It's not a zero sum game. We're throwing the ball all over the place AND Loyola's D is forcing us into precarious situations. It's both.

91 has been playing good D filling in for Szuluk but they can't keep tolerating these panicked clearing passes for much longer

Injured, apparently

Did they appear to be playing hurt in the last quarter against UNC?

Nope

Two guys running into each other on an absolutely free, wide open GB is this game in a nutshell so far

I thought I remember one of them coming up gimpy in the 4th q.

Put Scott Smith on offense. He's been our best dodger today. I'm only half kidding.

Loyola EMO and goal created by about 15 seconds of harassment of Blue Jay longpole after Hopkins made the clear.

degnon appears to have joined his classmates and ended his eligibility last year too.

Time to put in the scout team for some PT

It’s an impressive and aggressive group

most of these are turnovers, throwing the ball away.

Not true … the overall pressure from the Loyola D is creating these turnovers. Constant harassment all over the field.

Blue Jays have 11 turnovers in the first half, and Loyola caused 9 of them.

DocBarrister

Maybe you should revise this conclusion.

This is, first of all, a terrific Loyola team.

Blue Jays are completely unprepared for them.

After an excellent start to the season, Blue Jays have collapsed in the last five quarters.

You’re not giving Loyola enough credit.

Not a credible Hop offense. This will be the worst defeat in the history of this series.

this has to be close to the worst offensive performance in program history if not the worst.

Are these two injuries related to the sudden helmet switch?

Excellent off-ball offense by Loyola.

been hearing that a lot the past few years.

Switch back to the STX helmets

Maryland up 3-1 on Syracuse early.

Loyola crushed Maryland last week.

Some of this is on some glaring Hopkins deficiencies.

Most of it is on Loyola’s excellence all over the field.

Maybe. My Soph season we beat you guys 14-5 and we called off the dogs in the 4th.
My guess is Toomey will do the same.
