Football needs to talk it out

Every football fan can recall the image of the Indianapolis Colts’ Peyton Manning lining up behind center in the no-huddle offense, directing his receivers with a plethora of hand-signals, head movements, and vocal commands over the cacophony of a sell-out crowd.

Time to think tournament

As the calendar pages flip past October, the Georgetown women’s soccer team (10-3-2, 4-2-1 Big East) has little time left to make a statement. And the final games of the regular season leave no room for slack. While the team had a successful weekend with wins against Cincinnati and Louisville, their four remaining games include competition against the top two teams in the Big East: West Virginia and Notre Dame.

Before their meeting at North Kehoe Field earlier this week, the No. 6 Terrapins had won all 26 matches they’ve played against the Hoyas. On Tuesday, Georgetown showed that it can keep things competitive, but Maryland nevertheless extended its streak to 27 games.
