Navy has three advantages that we don't.
1. No scholarship restrictions. True, they can't attract a lot of even 3 star talent. Oth, they regularly bring in 50 or so football recruits a year. Everybody in the academies is on a full-boat, so no problem. You can find 40 or so decent players every four years out of 200 recruits. Then all you have to do is hit the jackpot in a couple of positions every now and again.
2. The Navy prep school. Where they get a lot of their athletes. Guess what O the football program runs there? Yep. So the players who come to them from prep school already 3 - 4 years of experience running the O. All we have is Marist and they don't always send their stars to Tech. Too bad, that.
3. They schedule like Ole Miss did when Johnny Vaught was coach there. For him it was 9 patsies and Bama; for them 9 patsies and ND. As I keep saying, we play too many good football teams. But that comes with the territory in the ACC. Maybe next year some of our opponents will revert to form or, more likely, we will.
