bfgotw debuts this year with a straight up dd win by the underdog arkansas state indians. overall record now 27-21, bfgotw 1-0, double unit plays also 1-0. i have gained exactly one unit per week over the last three weeks. with that rate of success i'll soon be able to get mom that operation she's been needing. let's get to it.
navy -2-: let's see, i lost playing on navy last weekend and lost playing against duke the weekend before, so some descretion should be advised before playing this game. however, turnovers played a big roll in the outcome of both of those games. barring similiar circumstances, the midshipmen should be able to out-mediocre the blue devils today. while duke has improved some on defense this year, i don't believe they are ready to take on a team that runs a competent triple option. defending such a team requires good athleticism in order to penetrate at the line of scrimmage and maintain assignments. news flash - devil defense is not packed with good athletes. given this fact, navy should be able to run their option with ease enough to score at least 35-40 points today, and if that's the case, duke simply does not have the offensive capability to play in a shootout type game, even against a defense as bad as navy's. as with all bfgotw, some queasiness will be involved in pulling the trigger, but firmly believe such courage will not go unrewarded.
other plays . . .
west virginia 7-: while i am an admirer of ecu coach logan, bottom line is he's a little bare in the cupboard this year, and is without the weapons to compete against the mountaineers imo.
ga tech/unc over 48-: in the past, defense has been the strength of even the bad tarheel teams, but this year not so. heavy losses from last year has left unc with an inexperienced defensive unit that has constantly made bad reads and missed assignments. they now face a chan gailey designed offense that is heavily laced with deception, multiple sets and confusing gimmickry. the games between these two teams have been high-scoring affairs in recent years, should be more so today.
wake -2-: wake will run through the cavaliers the way sherman ran through atlanta. nuff said.
ky +20: the thought of playing kentucky in the swamp gives me the shivvers, but i just don't believe there's three tds difference in these two team. wildcats seem focused on their season.
back in a bit with the rest. gl today.
