Nov 1 | Navy

[Ignats]

All in on taking out the frustration on these guys. Hope we put up 50+

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I hope we take out frustrating on every team until a rematch with FSU when we rip Jameis Winston's dick off and shove it down his throat tbh

68-0

Not to insult Navy but I'm glad we get them next week and don't have to regroup to go on the road to ASU after how this game went tonight. Honing to be hard to ramp back up emotionally.

Plus a bye week. Should be very helpful for preparing for that triple option.

I'm glad for the bye week. I'm hoping the loss tonight is galvanizing for the team and they take their frustrations out on Navy.

Me too. I want our best effort the rest of the year. Lots and lots of points! These next five games are our golden ticket to the playoffs. I truly believe that if we win out we are in. Tonight was the best possible outcome from a loss. We still scrong!

"I fear Navy"

"I fear Navy"

Not this year. The only fear is injuries impacting succeeding weeks.

ND looked pretty good against FSU. Navy is struggling this year. I like to see the first half be that same starting lineup and then work Zaire into meaningful second half PT with the first team O. Golson wasn't perfect but I though he graded well. The OL was much improved and Folstom continues separation from the other RBs. He still needs blitz blocking work. Work in Zaire and Bryant early in the 3rd Q than work in others off the 2 deep in the 4th Q.

Zaire and Bryant with 4 or 5 series to gain meaningful experience against a starter getting injured as the season moves ahead. My only anxiety of the FSU game was Golson going to the locker room after grabbing his hamstrings. I's like to see a shutout but insurrance for UL, ASU, and USC is more important.

Plus, us fans need a bye week too. That was a lot of stress haha.

You hit the nail on the head.

That would be ideal. Time to get Zaire and Bryant as many reps as we can so that next years run can come to fruition. Need all the experience we can get.

 

[Irish2155]

I think EG throws 7 touchdowns. Should be enough.

 

[magogian]

We are going to destroy them. After ND takes a few days to recover, we are going out there reinvigorated and kill teams.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

This is going to be a long bye week.

 

[arndtjc]

This is going to be a long bye week.

Yep.

Kinda feel bad for Navy, ND is gonna take all their anger out on that team...

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Sagarin has Navy at 93. For comparison, Purdue is 85, Rice is 83, Michigan is 70, and Cuse is 65. Navy will be the worst team we play all year. No excuse for this to be close for a second.

I agree Folston needs to touch the ball at least 20 times. Look at Fuller and Robinson to have big days as well.

 

[Irishman77]

I tjink we win by at least 50. Our boys will be out to make a statement!!!

 

[CarrollVermin]

Is this game really an 8pm EST kickoff?

Yes.

 

[Irish2155]

Yes.

Sucks, makes for a long day...weeks.

 

[Steve]

I'll be there! My dad is visiting from Texas (haven't seen him in a few years). Really looking forward to it.

 

[T Town Tommy]

From a couple of years ago but a pretty good piece on what BVG will be up against in a few weeks.

Draw It Up: Army-Navy and the Flexbone Offense «

 

[irishfan]

Kind of an interesting stat here:

Since 2009, Navy has played 72 games and has only lost by more than 17 points on 7 of those occasions. Very impressive for a non Power-5.

22/72 games have been against Power-5 foes. They are 7-15 in those games.

Personally, I think we beat them by 3+ TDs, but we shall see. I'd like to see us come out pissed and blow them out like in 2011.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Two keys to me for this game:

1. How well do the Irish put behind the disappointment of the FSU game and

2. How well they keep from looking towards the ASU game the next week?

If either of these two creep in... the Irish could come away with an ugly win. Still, a win is a win, but you have to dominate lesser opponents. I am confident the Irish can do just that and win going away.

 

[gkIrish]

I'm NOT going to this game fellas. Nothing to worry about. I've decided to never see another Navy game again.

 

[Buster Bluth]

However I will be there. Who's buying me a beer?


Don't all stand up at once now..

 

[Old Man Mike]

Navy's triple option:
1). Jones and Rochell jam the middle and push forward. Schmidt's instincts mop up any remains. End of option one.
2). Day and Trumbetti/Okwara penetrate the Oline, eyes on the QB. Either immediate end of option two, or he goes wide and Jaylon or Farley/Shumate crash him in the backfield or force a really too deep pitch. End of option two.
3). QB quickly pitches when confronted by our DEs, and pitched back is smeared by Jaylon and Farley/Shumate depending on side of field. End of option three.
4). Luke and Riggs are on islands with Navy's wides. End of that.
5). Redfield patrols middle of field in case TE tries to release vertically. End of that.
6). Navy is forced to pass. BVG creates his "normal" blitz packages. Things get ugly.

We, uh, win.

I'm a bit concerned about a young defense that has been encouraged to play aggressive. Shutting down Navy is all about discipline.
