The View From Section 241 -- Navy

Navy they couldn't stop.

You're right, but that wasn't why we lost.

Reading this thread I'm not totally sure UConn lost. Should I trust my own memory of Saturday?

You can stop Temple's offense. I think that's the most likely win of that three.

Agree with you Whaler after watching both teams, Houston & Temple....Temple is more "doable" on the road than Houston.

If Reynolds keeps this pace up, at most he will get an invite to NYC, but it would take a miracle for anyone to upend Fournette right now. I think the smart money goes on Fournette or Chubb, especially because these guys will have "Heisman" opportunities on national TV the rest of the year. Reynold's statement game would be against Notre Dame, but it doesn't help playing that in the middle of the year. Unfortunately, there is a ton of recency bias with the Heisman vote, as voters are going to key-in on the last couple of games.

I just realized that even if he is invited, Reynolds won't be in New York for the Heisman:

The Heisman Trophy ceremony is on the same day as Army-Navy (12/12), which is itself a week later than our conference championship game (12/05).

I personally love the supposition one decision in the first five minutes cost them the game.

As if it's a guarantee they get the first down, a guarantee they get the touchdown, a guarantee they get any points at all.

It also assumes if they get 7 there somehow Navy doesn't do what they want to do on offense all day.

If UConn gets 7 instead of 3 then the defense gets off the field. LOL.

No one said "one decision in the first five minutes cost them the game." except you. However, the first quarter definitely set the tone for the game. And making those plays in the first quarter probably changes the trajectory of the game.
