That’s an embarrassing road stat. Worrisome. There’s virtually nobody in the crowd in most road games we play. Navy’s crowd can easily will a bad team to a win.

Hope I'm wrong, but I don't predict us to win a road game this year period, let alone a road game against a legit home crowd rooting against you.

last game , we came back from the dead ,,,we stop someone on defense and we kick the ball in the end zone ,,,,most of the time ..i am expecthing our receivers to have a great game ,,we will need to score a lot of points because they gonna score a lot of points on us ,,,,i cannot see our defense stopping them too many time

It takes a lot of discipline and good open field tackling to stop an offense like theirs. Those are two things we have been lacking severely this season.

I don’t know why, but after blowing that game and then figuring out a way to win, I feel like we may have found something.. With no reason to back it up whatsoever, I feel like this is a game we find a way to win.

I think we’ll lose, but wouldn’t be surprised (and would be happy) to be wrong

Is Cahaba hosting a watch party?

I like us in this one. Temple just gave us the blueprint and they aren’t a good football team by any means.

No but I’m sure if you ask them to have it on they should. Tell them you listen to BVP

Navy stadium cap is 34k. Highest # they ever had was above 38k.

So, typically you’d say that we should out-talent a military academy and you’d figure that we have the blue print to just go out and win by multiple scores.

I just think if it were that easy, we wouldn’t be 3-6 and giving up the most points in the country.

I almost feel like our offense should be able to do whatever they want tomorrow, but theirs probably should too.

We are 124th in rush defense. Can we fix that when we know we have one dimension really to defend? I hope so. Linebacker play is the worst play we have on defense. If you aren’t good there, you aren’t defending a triple option offense. You won’t have the eyes to read who’s getting the ball out of the back field.

With the playoffs starting in AL HS, I imagine Jasper isn’t in. I’d probably call Reeves to be a consultant for the defense.

From a group of gentlemen that you’d expect to be in top physical shape, they are pretty stout on run D at 50th in the country. Then they are 120th in pass D. 41st in Time of possession.

The BVP gentlemen alluded to Navy being on their 4th Qb. Surely we can’t make a guy that deep on the depth chart into a heisman contender. Should be a glorified ball-hand-offer

Yep it's run heavy offense vs terrible run defense VS great passing offense vs terrible pass defense.


Which defense will break the most? Good news, we should be able to hopefully score quickly, bad news, our defense will get gassed with Navy's time of possession.

We play football today, boys.
