Know the team is pi**ed. Always hate playing these triple option teams. Proctor fumble was huge. Hope he's ok.

They can hold their heads high.

Will be interesting how Norvell handles this. Will his team be ready to go next week?

I hate playing those guys - that dam option is a freakin beyotch to play against.

Hope Proctor isn't too badly hurt, too.

I do think we have a chance to be a good team this year, we should be able to win the rest of our games from here on out - barring any major injuries.

Didn't think this was a game we were going to win, I'm sure (I hope) the players felt differently, but this can still be a great season and I'm sure Norvell will emphasize that. We still only have one loss in the AAC.

I thought Ferguson played well, receivers dropped some balls.

Just need to win next week.

Navy still plays @ ECU and @ USF. And we had our chances today. They are hardly a juggernaut.

A good DLine can stop the triple option very effectively...

They have to be able to distrupt the dive in the backfield and cause the QB to pitch Early.

This.

Once the dive becomes a legitimate threat, the triple option is really difficult to stop.

Maybe it would have been desperation mode, but I would have liked to see some run blitzes to try to get them behind the chains.

Wish Proctor would have just sat down with the 1st down reception - hard for a kid to think in the moment though ...

Most teams are not good enough to overcome that many mistakes on the road against a top 25 team and expect to win.

Missed fg

No points from first and goal at the 4 yard line

Fumble in the final minutes

Our d line is our weakness this year.

Yeah - it's easy to criticize now, but had he broken the tackle and cleared the open field for a touchdown we would be singing a different tune.

CMN will fix that with his recruiting.

It was our strength on D last year. Who all did we lose? Dillon was more of a hybrid linebacker. Was Brady that good?

Didn't Brady come back lady week? I know he played today too. Different Brady?

Navy reminds me of Barry Switzer and the OU Wish Bone. They were just about the only team in the country that ran the Wish Bone and no one was really good at playing against it simply because is was not an offense that anyone ever played against.

as soon as he started to try to curl back around, I started yelling at the tv. It worked about as well as yelling at the tv usually does.

All any team needs to do is watch tape of Navy vs. Notre Dame 2015. Its right there on tape how to stop Navy. And if the staff can't figure it out, then bring in a short term consultant coach that knows the option.
