This to me was the biggest piece of frustration against Navy. I understand they were loading people in the box. I understand that Navy has a top 10 rushing defense. But we're a top rushing offense. Bowser and Harvey were averaging over 6 yards a carry under these circumstances. We hardly ran the ball to the outside and only had one jet sweep. We did not play UCF football. We threw the ball 33 times (37 if you include the sacks) and only ran 20. We tried to be someone else and failed. Sometimes you have to stick to what you do best even if the other team does it well. Gus outGussed himself on this.
