gratefulhusker Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 After watching Navy, I have to say that I TRULY miss the option game. I haven't seen the triple option run, well since Nebraska, until tonight. I know that Pitt. isn't a great team...but man, it was nice to see a team with lesser talent (Navy) rule the game clock and ultimately, the game. I'm sorry fellas, but I wish this Navy game wasn't televised. That was the last thing I needed to see. This game was reminiscent of the days of old. I still think the option is capable of kicking some A$$. Sorry, fellas...but I miss that sh%t. I haven't seen that sort of true ground domination, for man, YEARS. I miss it. *Rhetorical statements are my forte. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Let's take a look at Navy's dominance over the past...ahh, never mind. Quote Link to comment
gratefulhusker Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Well, I expected that. I think you see my point, though. The option can still score points. Navy has also never been the best recruiting school, historically. I just miss the option. Quote Link to comment

Nebraska will never see it on a regular basis ever again. Time to move on... ...to what, I'm not quite sure. Quote Link to comment

I don't even need to tell you how AGAINST the war I am...certainly , not in this forum. You're right, man. I guess why question the actions perpetrated upon us? Accept the offense, as it is, because that is the offense of Nebraska? Just look at Navy's statistics...http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=2426 Relatively, they blow us out of the water...due to D and the running game. *Note Navy's time of possession vs. Nebraska's. Average. Quote Link to comment

gratefulhusker Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 *Please...don't make me note how CLOSE we came to losing to Ball State. We probably should have lost...no offense...because you shouldn't take offense to what I find offensive...as a fellow Nebraska Cornhusker fan. P.S. Ball State BEAT Navy. Now, that you have realized this...go look at Navy's stats.... Quote Link to comment
SaveTheHuskers Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I was thinking the exact same thing watching the game, Option was working very well for them and yes it was eating clock and controlling game. I also took Navy for the win and points over for 2nd Half, nice day betting wise. Thinking about taking points for OSU this weekend, but just like Vegas I'm not sure what side to be on when it comes to the point spread. Ball St would have been and easy one at +35 or whatever it was. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 It was nice to see that style of option for the memories, but I'm also glad we no longer run anything close to it. Quote Link to comment

Average. Well, if i had to go into any armed forces right now, it would be the Navy. And the Naval Academe... well... they're not going to be front line at all. Don't the military academes have weight limits? Or is that not an issue anymore? Quote Link to comment
