Navy 14 at Pitt 27 (final)

Pitt DC Bennett losing sleep over Navy's triple-option attack

Coffee, cold drinks and nearly anything else with caffeine in it has been Pitt defensive coordinator Phil Bennett's best friend this week as he tries to prepare the Panthers' defense to slow down Navy's triple-option attack Saturday. According to Bennett, his lack of sleep is not unique among defensive coordinators preparing for the Midshipmen because they are so proficient in what they do and have some degree of success against every defense they face. "I don't sleep. I got here early, and I'm as wired as can be," Bennett said. "I was talking to [Steelers coach] Mike Tomlin, and he asked me if they're still running the 'Mid-9 Follow,' [and] he remembered it from his days [in college]. It is a brutal offense for guys on their legs, and what they've done this year is change the rule to where they can chop everybody in the front seven in a five-yard space."
