Go Navy!!!

Here are the facts:
Other than Keenan Reynolds, Navy hasn't had a offensive skill position drafted since the early 80's.

Navy more than any other team in FBS (besides other service academies) is devoid of talent at skill positions, they run a system plug and play offense. Next man up and Every man knows their role and plays it to perfection. Thats what makes them such a good "team".

if fau was truly as good a s fau fans have been touting, then both should be wins for fau....* if you believe they were as good as fau fans think they were

It pains me to defend FAU because, well they are FAU. However, you are stating FAU is deeper than Oklahoma and UCF. Doubt that. Can we agree that they are better than average and leave it at that?

We should all be glad the pre-season T25 isn't all P5 schools.

i never said they were deeper than ucf/oklahoma

my point: fau fans claim they were elite by seasons end last year, some even said better than ucf..that their 1st few games didnt reflect who they were. by all measurements they should be better this season

ucf the team they say they were better than is getting worse, they are getting better..if they are as good as they want to believe, the should win, by that logic.. that was the point i was trying to make

Who claimed that we were elite? Name some names.

Then why did they switch qbs so much if it was next man up last season ...
they have a show on showtime like “hardknocks” where the biggest controversy was who would be the QB
Where the qb who started at la tech had to be benched eventually switching positions

Arguably the worst navy season in a decade is at the hands of the qb who played vs la tech and you refuse to acknowledge it

It’s called “a season with navy” if you are curious and want to watch

What’s does draft picks have to do with style of play.. no one from Sam Houston got drafted that doesn’t mean a qb change doesn’t affect them

You have no clue. Don’t tell us what navy is.. you don’t follow them. Stop making up false statements because the truth works against you.

pesik - I agree with your point on the bolded sentence. However, you identified the guys wrong.
Will Worth in '16 (who went down in the AAC CCG) was one of the better passers we've had in a while - mainly because he spent so long on the scout team running offenses other than ours behind Reynolds and Tago Smith (who went down in first game in '16). And a great, strong runner - even going down early in the CCG finished the year still 2nd in NCAA in rush TDs and 1198 rush yds.

Zach Abey started Army and AFB in '16. He is the bull dozer inside runner, tough to bring down. Adequate (or less) passer, but even with his yards and TDs, he was benched during the '17 campaign because the thinking was he wasn't getting all the OTHER options involved. He finished the '17 season T15th in rush yds and T5th in rush TDs. He will be a #1/#2 WR (and still an "or" on the depth chart at QB) to keep him on the field.
Malcolm Perry you got right - starter this year and had all spring, summer, and camp to work on the passing and the decisions.
Garrett Lewis is currently listed at #2 and the best passer of the three of them.

Dawgxas - the military commitment has a little something to do with the lack of draft picks as well. We definitely pride ourselves on "next man up" mentality, but the suggestion that there is no difference in the play calling and the performance based on who is in there is silly. OC Jasper will have a different gameplan and call different plays for Perry or for Abey or for Lewis.

Here's the injury report from the 2016 Armed Forces Bowl:
Starting QB Tago Smith (game 1 starter lost for the year)
Starting QB Will Worth
Starting Slotback and Offensive Captain Toneo Gulley
Starting SB Darryl Bonner
Starting WR Tyler Carmona
Starting OT Robert Lindsey
in-rotation SB Josh Brown
in-rotation SB Josh Walker
Starting LB and Defensive Captain Daniel Gonzales
Starting LB Josiah Powell
Starting LB Hudson Sullivan
Starting CB Elijah Merchant
S Kyle Battle
LB Mike Kelly

That JUST WASN'T the same Navy team that went through November punting only twice in four games. As I've said multiple times, that's not an excuse for result - LaTech executed when they had to and won the game. Congrats and good game. It's a statement that, for the theory that the AAC and CUSA are equals because the AAC #2 and CUSA #2 were evenly matched because it was a shootout won at the last second, the Navy team in the Armed Forces Bowl is not/not a good case study.

No need, anyone with half a brain would know that a triple option system is run by Navy because they lack talent at skill positions.

Navy losing a QB or RB is not like Tech or Houston losing a NFL talented QB or RB. Next man up for Navy plug and play triple option system.

Good post, I agree injuries can decimate a team and change the dynamics.

My only argument is that a Tech or Houston QB, RB or WR going down is much worse than Navy triple option QB or RB going down. Because our offense relys so much on more their athletism while Navy offense is plug and play triple option

Counter point to that - one of the TV announcer cliches about our offense is "everything runs through the QB" That is his decisions. So no it isn't a loss of a million dollar NFL talented arm...but a loss of the decisions that the #1 guy can make because of reps and reps and reps.
With our roster we can run two scout teams and thus two full huddles at practice...in theory the #2 gets as many practice reps as the #1, but practice =/= game.

other reasonable people would also point out the level competition dropped

heres the thing, your roser this season is far better than last season... if fau is all the sauce you guys think it is and kiffin is the mastermind behind everything ..beating a rebuilding oklahoma, and a rebuilding ucf , shouldnt honestly be that difficult, if fau is as good as you guys think you are....

if fau struggles, then manages to look great during conference play, we'll all know what is up

Beating OU and should not be determining factor on anything.
OU is top 5 in most polls and I read that OU has lost only 4 OCC home games since 2000 and 2 of those were opposing top 10 teams.
Playing UCF on a short week sucks! I bet a ton of college and I know that being home on a short week is worth extra.
If we get curbed stomped 52-10 by OU and UCF wins 38-14 maybe you have a point, but I know most teams in the country do not win those games because of the quality of opponents ( I have a ton of respect for UCF) I know people are looking for a quick ''Hey told you FAU is overrated game'' USM and La Tech fans look for anything negative against FAU. That's why many are posting they are putting a ton of stock in this game because they know we are going to lose.
Hell we are getting top 25 consideration and still are 20 1/2 point dogs in this game.

kiffin numerous numerous times after week 4 said briles ran the offense....

kiffin also said he had no clue how to run the baylor offense that it was completely different than anything he ran, that he had to put faith in briles

I agree Pesik, But who taught the kids cheap shots after the play and faking injuries to stall?

Briles was caught on national TV doing this at Baylor and Herbstriet says it was “bush league”

So Kendall was coaching the Baylor defense as OC?

And pick a team that didnt do that vs UH when Kingsbury or Holgorsen were OC. Todd Graham at both Tulsa and Rice was notorious for doing it. June's SMU teams did it. And yes, I believe La Tech tried it to slow down Keenum's incredible comeback in 2011.UTSA

You don't have to look outside C-USA to find this. I think it was the 2016 UTSA game against ODU with the Monarchs driving. The play was over, and players on both teams were getting ready for the next play when -- Bam, Bam, Bam -- three Road Runners (who were all standing with no signs of a problem) all went down one after the other. Two of them fairly quickly realized they had overkill and got up, while one stayed down. It was the damndest thing I have ever seen on a football field and was immediately followed by a chorus of boos from the crowd at Foreman Field.

I've said this a million times, it's very easy to stop the "Fake Injury" behavior. Just start requiring the "injured" player to sit out for the rest of the quarter (or the equivalent of one full quarter of time) anytime the game has to be stopped to accommodate a players injury. This will allow plenty of time for the player to receive "health evaluations" before re-entering the game. But more importantly, it will discourage the "fake injury" nonsense we see in the video above. Problem solved.

Something tells me this would stop it cold.

And FAU dropped 69 on a team that beat Army.

FAU lost to freaking Navy! lol

In the first game of the new coaching staff with a wrong QB and missing both top WRs. And then we went on a ten game winning streak.

Clearly, FAU had gone through growing pains of learning the new coaches' system, etc. FAU also lost to Buffalo in early season. But then we curb stomped Akron, the team who beat Buffalo, in the bowl.

Late in the season, we would have dropped a 50 on Navy.

Navy's final ranking (Massey Composite): 45
Ranking of teams on whom FAU dropped a 50: 112, 65, 83, 89
Heck, teams on whom FAU dropped 40: 104, 76

Teams better than FAU that Navy played: Memphis, ND, UCF. NO 50s
Any 50s on Navy all year? No.

So probably not.

I understand but there are lots of teams every year that can make similar arguments.
