RE: UMass/Goldie
I think Chesley (?) got too far over his edges expecting more contact from the UMass guy than he got.
But what cost them is "Holy Cross 2.0" -- count the guys coasting, not busting it, back into the defensive zone. Just like against Holy Cross.
Offense is execution and performance -- "What we run you can't stop."
Defense is attitude and swagger -- "Your 'stuff' don't work against us."
We haven't had attitude and earned swagger on D for a while.
