“He loves playing against option football,” said U.Va. senior linebacker Micah Kiser. “He’s got an option football vault that goes back to like the 60s. It’s like old, grainy film, like VHS on there. He prides himself on defending the option, and he’ll have us ready.”

That pride may take a hit today.

That third down TFL probably put UVA back under 10 yards rushing.

Navy averaging 6.3 yards per play right now, and the second string QB has been in most of the 2nd half.

That third down TFL probably put UVA back under 10 yards rushing.

JRjr

I'm showing 17 attempts for 12 yards.

 

[vapspwi]

öööö these announcers and their “all-SEC championship game” talk.

JRjr

 

[00Burdell]

This is almost sad.

 

[vapspwi]

This is almost sad.

I comfort myself that this is what those “bowl eligible, baby!” UVA fans were celebrating after beating us.

JRjr

 

[aeromech]

This is almost sad.

Kinda sad that UVA scored on the opening kickoff.

 

[vapspwi]

I really want Navy to punch this in.

JRjr

 

[00Burdell]

Does Navy even have a field goal (kicker)?

JRjr

Well, they can celebrate holding Navy to no receptions.

 

[vapspwi]

Lame - fire the kicker and Coach Ken!

JRjr

 

[savbandjacket]

In retrospect, I think we had a lot of “didn’t want to be there” this year. The conditions were miserable at UVA, and I’m not sure we wanted to play. Team chemistry issue or CPJ losing the team? I guess we’ll see next year.

JRjr

Or maybe the offense knew that regardless of how many points it put on the board, the defense was likely to allow >+1

 

[vapspwi]

Does Navy even have a field goal (kicker)?

Apparently not.

JRjr

Never stopped Joe Ham.

Plus, the offense plus special teams gave 9 to UVA.

JRjr

 

[savbandjacket]

JRjr

Yeah it did. See the wake forest game from 99

 

[Diseqc]

lets hire the Navy DC too

 

[vapspwi]

Yeah it did. See the wake forest game from 99

Ugh. I was at that game. Still, 26-23 loss isn’t a terrible defensive performance.

JRjr

 

[aeromech]

Or maybe the offense knew that regardless of how many points it put on the board, the defense was likely to allow >+1

The offense had two "drives" that were 1 play long in the 4th quarter; maybe the defense knew that even if they got another 3 and out, the offense would just give up more points again.

 

[The Jacket]

I am glad that I only caught the very last few seconds of that game. oof
