Noon Game Football Thread

Games are started. Here's a place to start the discussion as it will inevitably spread to multiple threads later.

What's everyone watching?

Man, Navy is fun to watch. The triple option is a thing of beauty, and Navy is moving the ball on offense. Don't think Navy can hold OSU on defense, but this should be a fun game.

I know, it's the first quarter. But MAN, Navy is executing extremely well at the Horseshoe. They drive methodically all teh way down the field on OSU. That had to be a 15 play drive.

7-7, 10 minutes gone.

I think (and hope) that Navy-OSU will be closer than everyone thinks. Navy has a pretty good fundamentally sound team. And I think OSU's offense is still working out some kinks as it seems.
So far a good game though.

I have to believe that OSU has been spending a lot of time on things to help them next week, and the triple option is so weird it's go to be hard to simulate in practice.

So far it doesn't look like Navy has the athletes to compete on defense though.

This has nothing to do with Michigan football.

Let's hope that this game shows us a weakness in OSU's ability to defend a triple option.

We can only hope we have more of a passing threat than Navy.

Well I believe that so far Navy is executing pretty well. For an offense that visually looks predictable, it's all about execution and thats what Navy has been doing.

For us I believe our offense provides a couple more surprises so as long as we can play well, I think we should have a chance, and that goes for every game.
