Stanford looks flat, or Cal Poly is better than their seed.  In past years I've been disappointed by how the attack has lacked creativity or risk-taking, resulting in seemingly endless back passes and possession seemingly for possession sake.  In comparison, this year the team was more forward-looking and adventurous on attack.  However, tonight seems like years past.

Only Y-Lay Nguyen (and Jung in a brief stint) seem to be playing well.  Aikey has been very quiet.

For a time this year the narrative has been that the offense is amazing and deep, whereas the defense was uncertain.  I believe that narrative has been proven wrong.  In my opinion the defense is solid, the midfield is the team's strength, and apart from Aikey on a normal day, the offense is the weak link.  At this point you dance with the one who brought you, but the trial of Boamah at wing that came out against ND last week might need to be resurrected in later rounds .
