Prosise is such a patient runner. Really amazing for someone with no experience at the position.

In spite of some really poor play this Navy D is Swiss cheese compared to out O athletes.

But losing to us doesn't hurt Navy's conference standing so there's no risk to them.

Yeah but what he's saying is subbing out ND for some other team...say Minnesota could mean the difference between going 12-0 or 11-1 on most seasons. Them running the table could get them into the top 20 by the end of the year running the table and actually build up a decent program.

He's a natural for the zone blocking scheme. It's reall incredible that I think he's the best zone runner we've had during Kelly's tenure. Part of that is because of how little experience he has.

I know it's "tradition" and all of that, but I wouldn't lose a single second of sleep if we never played Navy ever again. There is nothing to be gained by playing Navy, nothing. We can only at best leave the game neutral if we blow them out. Anything less than a blowout and it is an embarrassment. I don't care that this "is a really good Navy team," no one in the country perceives it that way so we're hurting ourselves.

I'm sure someone will come along and say "oh we owe theme for keeping our program alive 90 years ago, blah blah blah." Well guess what, we've been keeping their program alive for decades so I'd say we're even on that ledger. Play them next year and then drop them as an annual game.

This isn't an overreaction to this game either, I've been of this mindset for about 7 or 8 years now. We play them close and exhaust ourselves every year. I'm not sure if we have a season ending injury yet, but that's coming because Navy and their cheapass cut blocks ensure it.

As for my thoughts on this specific game:
1) run the godd*mn ball!

2) lets not have Kizer throw anymore out routes. If they don't get intercepted he throws horrible incompletions. It is not a throw he has ever shown any consistency.

Kizer's completion percentage doesn't tell the whole story IMO. This won't fly against better teams, ala Clemson first half

This is getting beaten to death, but on that pass, Trumbetti makes the sack that Romeo has no chance at..those plays matter against good teams.
