If we don't win this one we're probably not going bowling. Plain and simple.

Navy scored again.

Oh wait, that's what we say when they play SMU.

Oh, buck up, ponies.

We may have averaged 65 points per game against you since joining the conference,compared to just 43 ppg vs Tulsa. But it looks better if you look at the whole Johnson-Niumatalolo era: 39.8 ppg (7-0) against SMU is close to 34.5 ppg (3-1) against Tulsa.

And at least it isn't 51 points per game like some other conference mate...

Okay, game day is here!
I'm confident in Navy's offense doing what we do. In addition to getting our yards and points, that will include time of possession.

TOP will limit Tulsa's offensive production to a certain extent (as we saw with UNM), but will Navy's D be up to the test otherwise? I am cautiously optimistic. Our run defense has been good, and President hasn't shown he can take over through the air. On the other hand, Tulsas's experienced O line is a strength, and maybe they just blow us off the ball. Or President coukd have a breakout day like Moore did last week.

On balance, though...l'll predict 45-31.

Away game, so on my couch I might post here, but I'll definitely be tweeting. @slhNavy91

I wouldn't be surprised to see Luke Skipper in early if President has trouble passing again. If we can't pass Navy will just load the box and it's game over.

Much better attendance. Great showing from Navy fans too.

Likely a shootout.

Tulsa forces a Navy punt. Clipping penalty helped.

Tulsa ball on own 10. 1st down. 7-0.

Love the way the Navy O is moving. Just need to score. And now need another stop.

Tulsa 14-0! Rolling right now

...this is bad for the AAC. One of the best teams in the West is getting taken to the woodshed by a team that has a loss to New Mexico.

Comedy of errors for Navy so far

Alternate view, Tulsa has 2 runs by President half their O and Navy shooting themselves in the foot. 45 minutes of football remain

O-line is terrific right now; bunch of amazing blocks. And this is unusual... Hope it's nothing really serious.

20 minutes in already at max penalties including drive killers.
Exam week games KILL me

Goal line stand. Blocked FG. Guy proses to girlfriend on the pom team. Yard marker guy carted off the field to bulance. Tulsa with the shutout so far. Crazy, entertaining game!

Tulsa defends the triple option better than most teams. Navy finally scores.

Tulsa - 14
Navy - 7

Well, time to buckle up, Hurricanes!
