Navy v Memphis

[Rocktheworld]

ITT: Sportsart backpedals into crying us a river because Navy doesn't play "traditional" football, in a world of spread offenses, read options with QBs running as much as they throw, and shotguns with three backs.

All while ignoring that Navy's style, mostly running, was the traditional style before the forward pass was invented. Navy runs as a traditional offense as you can find in the sport (and have been doing so for duck knows how long), just now with superior athletes compared to those who played during the origins of the sport.

Glad I was a part of this hilarious thread. Don't let it die too fast, guys. Or get it sent to the Cesspool too fast, Uconnphil2016.

A little dramatic don't you think. If you think Navy runs a traditional offense, good for you. I'm talking about the current offenses, not the past. Drop back QB's, spread offenses and and dual QB/read offenses are what I consider modern times and traditional offenses.

I just expressed my opinion and agreed Navy was the better overall team vs Memphis. Stop with the crying a river, over the top crap.

Memphis had no chance at the playoffs anyways

Prior to the game (and assuming Ole Miss had beaten Arkansas), they absolutely had a chance to be #4. In the event Memphis went 13-0 and Ole Miss had ended up winning the SEC championship (which no longer can happen because they lost against the razorbacks), and Baylor finished 11-1 after losing to either TCU or OKS, Memphis would be in the playoff.

Once again, they lost to Navy, Ole Miss lost to Arkansas, so this will absolutely not happen, but prior to 6pm on Saturday this was a complete possibility that wasn't really a pipe dream.
