I'm gonna say it.  15 turnovers in the first 1/2 MOST on BAD PASSES!!!!!!!  Plus they have got to get 26 and 44 out of the games.  They are TOO SLOW and get beat all the time.  Putting a young kid in there can NOT be any worse.....

[HOF2013]

Screwed by the call giving them a new clock with 1:28 left and us down by 1 goal...................No replay video - what goo dis the rule if they don't or CAN'T use it???  Filming from the bleachers again.

Another game, another loss.  Nice comeback at the end to have a chance but in a hole most of game.

Yep. Some poor defense in front of the crease again and 15 turnovers - mostly bad passes................Still we had a chance.  Why have a video replay rule if they don't use it?  Second game where we got screwed by the officials - could have at least had a chance here and should have won the Drexel game.  The announcers clearly could review the film...............they saw what happened..

UA has to be the best 0-4 team in the country. Won Pretty much all stats yesterday.  Even turnovers were only 15ua to 14 mass. And most UA’s TO’s were early on and like Hof pointed out were simply bad passes often uncontested and not caused by umass pressure. 
Once they get the chitters/nerves out they seem to settle in OK. 

Disagree SOMEWHAT on Hof’s assessment of the D. Feel the main issue is defensive middies getting beat by simple fakes and get run by (not to besmirch anyone, but #32 got faked out of us jock on at least 2 or 3 occasions.)
