Somebody want to remind the refs that if Navy is pitching the ball forward on their option plays, they can't be downfield blocking.

Basic defensive football. Stopping the pitch man, one guy gets the QB. Harder to do than you think when the guards and tackles are cut blocking the rest of the guys and creating a huge bunch of traffic that the backers can't get through.

The D played well enough to shutout Navy (without the silly call). A lot of that success was that Navy went away from the option. D looked shaky again on that last drive.
We need to remember that there are a lot of youngsters out there, playing their first game in an away stadium. Navy is quirky on offense. I'm with Clarity. Let's get out of here with a W, no matter how ugly, and get better next week.

Only two things really bothered me that half. Running the option against Navy inside the redzone...and seeing scUM has scored 35 points against appy.
EDIT: 3...Good lord the announcers suck.

- The D is playing as well as you can ask them to.
- Special teams (Kicker/Punter) look like a strength
- Excited about Dontre/Jalin/Samuel
- I'd give Barrett a C for the first half. Looks like, well, a first time starter. Some good, some bad.
- The OL, particularly the interior, terrifies me right now. If this is the OL play we're gonna get, we're looking at 5 losses this season...at least.

This. As in if the receiver catches it behind the LOS it's ok. Like a screen.

The grade is still incomplete for me in regard to the young signal caller. His OL isn't helping him at all, seems like.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
On the bright side the kicking game is looking pretty good:
Johnston = 2 punts 51.5 ave.
Nuernberger = 2 for 2 on field goals (46 & 28 yards)

Unless the NCAA rule is different from OHSAA, that's not true. Linemen can't be downfield (greater than ~5yds, I think) until the ball is caught by the receiver.

One more block. That should be the offenses motto. They just need one more block on most of those plays in the first half to spring someone.

Special Teams looking like an Urban Meyer original right now. I'm expecting field position to be heavily in our favor this year.

Things are just fine. Maybe the Navy runner was down before he hit the pylon, maybe not. But if 7 points means we lose, we didn't deserve to win anyway. The defense has played just fine. The offense has shown signs of life, but gets a bad read, bad play call, or blown assignment and screws it up. So far, I like what I see with Barrett. Thinking back to Braxton's first start, I think he's looked better and more prepared. It'll just take some time and some confidence in himself and from the coaching staff to open up the playbook more.
