Jalen Elliott sucks. He can't tackle if his life depended on it. He has been awful in the 3rd quarter.

Can't tell what is driving me more crazy:
ND's defense or the f'ing overhead cam on 75% of Navy's plays.

They've on the field 30 of 40 minutes. When you get gassed your form goes.

Navy is better than Georgia running the ball. Lol

Navy is going down the field so quickly, they don't even celebrate good runs.

I've been trying to wrap my head around why the triple option is so hard to stop..... and I can't come up with a reason. It's going to 1 of 3 players 95% of the time. Hit each of them every single play. I don't get it....

Well this is what happens to your defense when your offense only has the ball for 11 minutes through three quarters.

Agree, but at some point you have to suck it up and man up

Well actually hitting somebody would be a good start.

Part of that is their own fault. You know that right? Navy is 4-5 on 4th down.

Big mistake by Navy to not go for it there. I thought that even before they missed the FG.

Where is Dexter Williams? Josh Adams is just too slow.

Do we have the slowest developing run game ever?

So what about ND hiring a option coach? What could they do with their size using the option.

Lou ran some option, I heard he was OK at ND.

Three and out coming wont have sense of urgency.

Score fast, so ND can get the ball back for the final drive and not go to OT.

It was so obvious on that 30 yard run that Adams is nowhere close to 100%. We've had brutal luck with running back health this year. But we have enough talent at the position that we should just play the backups if the starters aren't healthy.

Lou wasn't a good at ND because the ran the option. He was a good coach because he was a master motivator and pushed for a very high standard of play.

Bottom line is if we could've just gotten up 10 to start the game navy wouldn't be able to run the clock down so much on every single play. you have to force them to play quicker by getting up on them early. We didn't do that.
