I can say one thing for certain. I've never seen Fickell anymore intense and focused when he talks about Navy running the ball down their throats last year and what a debacle that was for him as a coach with a defensive backround. I can almost see the steam coming out of his ears when he discusses it. With the retooled defense particularly as well as we've pursued the ball sideline to sideline i'm real curious to see how they fare in this game. They're not as good as last year, but still a formidable challenge. Will be curios to see how Wright fares in the middle as this is his first option exposure in the middle.

This isn't the same Navy team from the past few years. They graduated off their big threat QB and, if it's possible, seem even more one dimensional on offense (1 completed pass against SMU). Our problems with the option in the past has been getting the speed to the outside to close gaps, then tackling the guy once we got to him. Wright isn't super speedy, but is a good gap filler and a sure tackler. Young is quick and our db's tackle really well, so I think that is where we improve against Navy vs past years. We should be able to put up some points against Navy, but we have to find a way to keep our drives moving and not turn the ball over. Finally coming home after a few weeks will be a nice boost to this game.

Congrats to Fick and the coaching staff. The 4/4 was terrific all day. I've been going to these games a lot longer than i care to admit, but i'd have to say this defense from top to bottom is as good as any we've had. I would not have thought heading into the Usf game that we would be so good defensively, and Usf would be playing so poorly defensively(see Tulane's 370 yds on the ground today). We're a different team offensively at Nippert so i'm heading into next week liking where we are at. Hopefully a brisk day to welcome the bulls. This is fun.This group clearly likes playing together, and i've love a showdown with Ucf with their offense and our defense. Those are the games you pray for.
