Army Navy

anyone ever been to an army-navy game?

Am going tomorrow and looking forward to it, not sure if there’s anything to do outside of the game itself that I should know about

So army somehow can shut down the Navy jet sweep over and over and UCF couldn’t stop it once?

Exactly. That’s because the 2018 UCF defense isn’t that good. 2017’s was clearly better. We better clean that up for the Bowl game and for the 2019 season

They also know each other’s offenses inside and out

Go Army My dad was Army enlisted but tried to get into West Point.

Go Army-Beat Navy. My dad and uncle were Navy. I got my Army commission from UCF in 1983 and retired from the Army Reserve after more than 29 years in 2011.

Go Army! My dad was in the Army for 2 years and banged a bunch of broads in Germany!

I saw Navy had 4 turnovers I think. If they have penalties or turnovers their offense doesn’t work.

Navy had 3 fewer points and more yardage against ucf in 2017.

Hope you had a good time at the game!

Last year we gave up 159 yards per game running the ball and this year 229 yards per game.

The statement was about our rushing defense.

Memphis had the most yards running the ball in the first half out of ANY FBS team this year

We are ranked 117th in the FBS in rushing defense. That has to get better

Definitely a cool experience, also extremely cold. Not the most exciting football to watch though but definitely something I’d recommend at least once

I was responding to the question of how Army was able to stop Navy while UCF couldn’t apparently (although UCF won comfortably). Army forced 4 turnovers. That’s how they did it. They also have 10 wins and haven’t allowed more than 22 points in regulation of any of their past 11 games (and they played Oklahoma). So their defense is pretty much excellent

I’m sure it is, but our defense definitely needs to get better. Props to Army, but In all honesty and even a bit arrogantly, a Florida school in the FBS should have a better defense than a military Academy with all their restrictions. We should have better athletes with more speed and more size. I can see a triple option offense being effective, but defense is different. They aren’t doing anything way out there.

So the argument is why can Army stop something that Navy is doing offensively and UCF can’t?

Other than seeing it more, they shouldn’t be. Maybe that’s the only answer.

In conclusion, our defense will catch up with us eventually if something doesn’t change

Army has a top 10 defense in yards allowed and forced 4 turnovers. They are a better defense than UCF. They also play a triple option ball control offense which benefits their defensive numbers.
