I did see the Midwestern game, and it sounds like our defense and goalies haven't been tested at all this spring.
Okie State should be interesting.
Yes - it is always great to beat TCU in anything. In retrospect, I regret not saying "SMU stoned TCU".
In all honesty, it's hard to say if TCU was that much better than Division II Midwestern State - but SMU looked markedly better in the second game. The passing was much crisper, and the communication at the back was solid throughout. SMU also kept up the pace and pressure for the full 90 minutes.
There are obviously some things to complain about here and there with the team but you can't question the conditioning and work they are putting in - especially when you consider we are doing this with just 12-13 outfield players available.
OK State will definitely be a much more challenging test. It should be a much better gauge of our team.
Considering the major issue from last season was scoring goals and the top question going into 2012 is sorting out the center backs and keeper, an aggregate score of 9-0 through 180 minutes of action leaves little to be too critical of so far.
