We're growing. We started a true Freshman, one of only two in D1 that didn't enroll early that's starting at QB. I'm not saying this is a "moral victory" as I don't believe in them. We did play well, and for the most part played toe to toe with a bowl bound team that is well coached and well respected. This is a game we win in the next year or two under Fritz.

At this point I'm more impressed than I expected to be, but also see a whole lot of the issues I expected rearing their ugly heads. Inexperience and lack of depth is hurting. We also need an athletic QB that can throw accurately as well as run the option. But there's a night and day difference between this team and the one that took the field last November. I can't wait until next week, we should beat up the ULaLa Cajuns.

I agree with DfromCt. In their last 20, Navy has lost three, twice to Notre Dame and once to Houston. In the last 13 seasons, they've been to 12 bowls. They started a senior QB who has been in the same system for four years, and is probably 22 years old. We started a 2 star, true freshman at QB, who only saw the playbook for the first time three months ago. We're running a brand new offense and defense. I'm encouraged by what I've seen, but there's also a lot of room for improvement.

If we're still having games like this in Fritz' season three, then I'll be worried.

We tried to do what Houston did last year to eviscerate Navy. 5 guys up front, a nickle package and a single LB - our DB's are stay-puft-soft, they're pretty boys who bring *nothing* to a brawl.

I don't like calling out players. Without using names, #21 should stay on the bench next week. Pathetic tackler!

We shouldn't have lost to this group of football cast-offs.

Our pitches were so deep that by the time the runner got the ball and turned it up tha DB had come off the block. Without holding the WR will have difficulty staving off the DB.

But the D is not coached as wll as last year. Should have kept Lionel in some capacity. Brantley would make one heck of a RB, but if he cant get his passes down, he will be another Qb like Brandon Harris.

I'd trade that any day against the Toledo and CJ years. If you guys can't see improvement from the last two regimes then you have an agenda.

One area for improvement from tonight's loss was the Tulane penalties. The drive in Q4 where we needed to capitalize on our 1pt lead was killed by the Leglue holding penalty and the Taylor personal foul. I hope Fritz addresses this because Taylor had several of those last year. We get a drive going there without those penalties and we potentially win the game.

Fritz was able to get multiple high-3-star WRs to commit at GSU. We're not recruiting well at any position.

Must be Yulman.

I agree that OC made a serious mistake throwing on 1st down on our last offensive series.
Also very disappointed in 2 pt conversion defense. Navy ran the same play that every team in the world runs and we had no one assigned to the guy who caught the pass.

It might be.
