a wise coach once told me
you can compensate for the other team being faster
you can compensate for the other team being bigger/stronger
when the other team is faster and stronger....
not gonna bother finishing the sentence its going to be a long day try to maintain some positivity.
I firmly believe playing teams like this every year will significantly help with recruiting in the long run. lock up the second tier kids who want to play with the big boys and rutgers will eventually be able to compete when its a lot of 4th and 5th year seniors going against the more naturally gifted younger players on the powerhouse teams.
embrace the pain, it will make eventually beating one of these teams much sweeter.
