Michigan straight mauling fools again. Wow, nothing i hate more than Harbaugh looking this good this early. They've literally had 3 straight shutouts and we get ribbons for being good for one half.

How odd of Kelly in this interview with the running comments yet we threw it 3 straight times to open the game.....

40 runs-31 passes
True. But he also said something about not having you're freshman QB slinging it, and running the ball being our secret to success. Oh, and how many of those were in the 4th just trying to eat clock.

Honestly, everyone looks at these games as big time performances. What you have to think about is how does this performance matchup against better teams. IMO it doesn't. It didn't against UMASS and then Clemson happened. Some of the plays made today won't happen next week so better decision making needs to happen. As well as man on man football

Also, I'm not bitching about Kelly or the play calls, I just thought it was rather humorous.

I'd still like to see more TE Jones, involving the TE's should help a young inexperienced QB, especially freaky athletic ones.

too many pass plays that I don't like, but I'm a complainer...

Post game thought and more later.

Not good enough to beat better teams. Really good athletes with poor execution. Better teams make poor execution pay. Navy's D just isn't that good. Should have been able to enforce our will earlier and boy did we have our chances. Those chances are few and far between against better teams.

100% agree. But let's face it this is the ultimate donut game. Tough loss on the road last week and night game against your biggest rival next week. Overall solid performance.

I like you Lucci, but lately you have been pretty salty.

This is very true Lucky.

I'll agree and I don't take it to heart. It just is what it is. This was supposed to be the deepest team with the best leadership we've had in a very long time. Yet we have massive lapses in judgement and find insane solace in beating bad teams. I was a Debbie downer against UMASS, them Clemson happens. I'll be a Debbie downer now and hope we play well enough to beat a good team, which we haven't down this entire season. I really don't like to purposefully be negative but this isn't good football. Both sides of the ball have huge flaws but insane amounts of talent, so what gives?

Before somebody else comes in and says something. We blew the doors off UMASS. Now we blew the doors off Navy, what's next?

I'm hoping for better

The defense coming out slow is soooooo old.

I dont want to bag on Joe but it's time. He needs a head set. He clearly is not where we need our MLB to be. I believe I saw him ....bounce.... off Tago during a run.

Like he hit Tago and rebounded away from him ....aerially.

Hopefully actually coming out with a purpose at opening kickoff, on the part of the athletes and especially the coaches.

Yes great leadership on offense. But you lose your starting running back, quarterback and TE. Having depth is nice. But to lose those three players after two weeks is crazy. The defense has no excuse though.

I think we will find out a lot about ND against USC. A win puts us in position for a 10-2 or a 11-1 season. A close loss would be disappointing, and a blowout loss will reignite the discussion about if Kelly is good enough for ND. I am really hoping for a win (any win, I could give a shit if it is a 1 point win) but it will really depend on us not turning the ball over and our D coming out ready to play from the first drive. We can not spot USC 14 points before we start to play.

Also I know all you on IE were thinking playoffs and national championship before the season. Realistically I was thinking more along the lines of 10-2 or 9-3 and that's still possible with all these injuries.

That's where I was/am. A 10 win season and major bowl would be great in my world.

We got a lot of work to do to compete with elite teams we're still not on the same planet as legit top five teams

Problem is we're running out of quality wins on the schedule and I'm not sure we have any teams left on our schedule that can get us into the playoffs

We have a difficult time stopping a QB who is patient and accurate because we're incapable of getting pressure without blitzes and our secondary is suspect.

I think USC is going to be a monster test.
