Originally I was planning on going to this game since Annapolis is 20 minutes from my house but no such luck as the Air Force has better ideas. Will be a nice step up in competition for these guys should be a fun game.

I question the step up. With a 20 pt loss to Morgan State, this certainly isn't the same Navy team that had the Admiral.

Should win this game. We are better and they are worse than last year when they beat us in the scrimmage i believe.

Fair enough...I do believe they are a step up from our competition from this past weekend.

Navy has a cool facility - intimate but with a big arena feel and layout. Would look better if they had more than 100 fans in attendance.

TallyW was posting on IG and it appears they had his kids wind up being ball boys. Pretty sweet!

Its a new era friends. Winning road non conference games is fun. Dominating is even more fun. It looks much more like mckays old offense with the pack line d. Maybe its just better players and deeper roster but the ball movement is way better.

Couple folks were banging on bell last week. He has improved a ton. Thought he was the second most dominant offense player behind mcghee. Hes always had the moves. Hes finishing now and pushing people around on the inside like rag dolls.

The other huge difference is gumbs and homesley continue to create when things break down at the end of possessions. We havent had that.

It wasn't so long ago that we lost these games and now we are winning road D1 games on the regular. It is pretty amazing

yeah and our football program is boring and shows zero signs of growth. This program deserves their support.

I really hope the student body will get behind them, bc if they showed up with the energy they bring to football, the roof would blow off of the Vines.
And no one is meddling and you let your coaches coach
