Earlier posts hammering Navy as cheap shot artists may be misunderstood.  Certainly when we are at war due respect must be shown to our soldiers in the field.  Ok I’m cool with that , but these guys at Navy are not returning warriors so their style of play is fair game.  I never had a problem with Army or Air Force when they ran the same offense–they seem to have a higher (ethical) quality of player than Navy.  I had not thought of last yrs game that much and came across a few highlight videos–see below–not very pretty but instructive.

I originally thought that this is the year we really pulverize them, but film clips clearly show that Navy kicked our asses all over the field last year. We had Clausen Tate Floyd and a senior dominated OL yet could only score 21 points.  Despite cut blocks Navy hit a whole lot harder and played much tougher than ND. My optimism has faded fast.
Especially nervous on hearing we have a handle on Navy offense since have been practicing it for 4-5 weeks.  Eerily reminiscent of Tenuta bragging he knew everything that could be known about it and had no worries.  Again pass right down middle of field for TD–tradition continues.  ILB’s Teo and Smith got bounced around like pinballs.
