He and Ross are flip flopping depending on the package. When we're in 4-3, Ross is on, when we're in Nickel, Peppers is on.

I do think he may have a little boo boo, but he's been on the field except when Ross is on or the drive when we went with the 2's.

I think because he's playing so many snaps they're going with Norfleet as the returner right now. App St. is forcing us to play so much Nickel. Which is funny, because people keep asking where Ross is. Well, they can't all play!

O line looked great on most of the plays.  Good pass blocking and opening up some BIG holes for the backs.  Go KALIS!!!  Great block on that Smith TD run.  Anyone know why App St got to redo that 3rd down play where they took a commercial break with App St having 4th and 6 on their 6 and then getting to redo it only to get sacked on the 3?

Defense looking unstoppable. I forgot what it looks like to have a running game. Good start. Hope our second and third stringers can get some quality playing time in the second half.

GO NAVY!!!

I will say this - if my stats are right, we only supassed 200 yards of rushing in a game twice last year, and neither time was it higher than 257 yards. On a more interesting note perhaps, we rushed for 1,569 yards all of last year - in this game, we've made 16% of last years total and counting.
