go there way.
No one was citing OSU as being this great program last year when they went 7-8 with basically the same team.
ND doesn't have a coaching problem. Think about this. I'd take him over Petro in a minute.
Isn't that the result of good coaching?
So too many factors to attribute to just one thing.
Also, their leading scorer this year - LeClaire - was a freshman. 45 goals and 14 assists.
this year - through out DI and especially on the offensive side of the ball was really good.
with OSU
2014 Won 13-7
2015 Won 9-0
2016 Won 9-8 (close game)
2117 Won 12-7 (after OSU had just smoked our nemesis, Denver)
Like steelhop says, it takes a little luck and lack of injuries. I'm not sure Corrigan is the best coach, but the top guys - Tierney, Danowsky, and you might argue Desko - are not leaving where they are so you are probably not going to find anyone better. Take away the injuries and give us a FOGO at 60% and we would probably still be playing and odds on favorite.
Which is why it will be annoying if they win a lacrosse title before we do.
