Notre Dame-Navy Preview

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:11:51 -0500

This Saturday, the 19th ranked Fighting Irish will take on their long-time rivals, the Navy Midshipmen. Notre Dame’s game last week against Washington State was the first boring game the Irish have played all year as they swamped the Cougars 40-14. Even though it was a boring, one-sided game, I was happy. For one time in the [...]

Another Chance at Redemption

If last Saturday’s 31-27 victory over the Navy Midshipmen wasn’t an indication, Ohio State has plenty of work ahead of them as the Buckeyes head into their showdown with Southern California this weekend.

By Mark Silverman

A victory over the visiting Trojans would not only elevate Ohio State’s national respectability, but the Big Ten Conference as well. However, a performance similar to the showing against Navy could make USC’s 35-3 drubbing of Ohio State last season in Los Angeles déjà vu all over again.

Fortunately, the Buckeyes will not have to defend the triple-option unless USC head coach Pete Carroll has implemented the offense into the playbook, which may not be a bad idea. Ohio State gave up an uncharacteristic 186 yards against the run to Navy and with USC five to six running backs deep, headlined by Joe McKnight, the run defense must improve. What is more astounding is that the Buckeyes gave up 156 yards passing to a Navy team that averaged only 90 yards through the air in 2008. The secondary will need to step up their game with the offensive firepower the Trojans possess.

It appeared the Buckeyes were caught looking ahead to the USC matchup, so Buckeye fans shouldn’t worry too much. It is debatable whether Ohio State was ready to play in the season-opener against the Midshipmen, but that won’t be a question Saturday night.

The Buckeyes’ national reputation has taken a severe hit due to recent losses to Florida and LSU in the 2006 and 2007 national championship games along with defeats to USC and Texas a year ago. However, now the Buckeyes have their opponent on home turf. USC was a true road game and while the other three contests were held at neutral locations, the LSU matchup in New Orleans was a virtual home game for the Tigers.

There used to be a time when Ohio State defended the Horseshoe in night games to perfection. The Buckeyes have an opportunity to reverse their recent trends and erase some bad memories with a victory Saturday night. The Horseshoe will be rocking and if the Buckeyes can put together 60 minutes of consistent football, redemption will be a beautiful thing.

How To Not Stop the Navy Rushing Attack

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:17:34 -0500

That's a little more than 18 yards per carry for you folks counting at home. To put it in perspective, every time White touched the ball against the Tigers, he was good for the distance from your desk to the copy machine down the hall, the distance from your front door to the pizza delivery guy's car, and the distance between you and the bartender you've been stalking at Dave and Buster's for the last few months.

Former Navy Wideout, HS Coach Charged With Sexual Assault

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:07:17 -0500

Former Navy Midshipman Wide Receiver and current Steinert High School (Hamilton, NJ) football coach was arrested Friday and charged with fourth degree criminal sexual contact. Jordan played during the 1987-88 seasons and was Navy's leading receiver in '88. Without knowing full details, this seems like an unfortunate case that doesn't seem to have been intentional. Hopefully he'll be cleared of wrong doing.

Those Pesky Pylons - Navy Jobbed in Poinsettia

Officials in the Poinsettia Bowl should have read our extensive review of the rules regarding the plane of the end zone (which Ed Hochuli contributed to). Then they would not have jobbed Navy. See that article here: http://east-coast-bias.blogspot.com/2007/10/plane-of-goal-line.html
