Definetly liking the better here of two lesser teams. However Hart the QB for Rutgers has looked very nice early on this season and the two headed rushing attack of Leonard and Hariston is doing great too for Rutgers. Don't see a weak Navy D hanging with Rutgers offense @ home. Taking RUTGERS -1 :toast:
Rutgers -1 HURRY
- Thread starter ststrl
- Start date
I wouldn't be so quick to jump on it. Navy ain't hald bad and we still can't run the ball. Should we win? Yes. Will we win? Who the hell knows, we are Rutgers.
I was hoping I'd hear you chime in here RUFan. I know that this year's Navy team is improved. And being one the West Coast I'm, not all familiar with Rutgers homefield advantage, if there is any. I just think that Hart may have a field day on Navy's D. We'll see, definetly on Rutgers side here, what kind of line movement do you see on this game.
ststrl,
I haven't looked closely at the game yet, as far as analyzing Navy, but I really think that from what I've seen they are much better than Army and I hated the way we played against Army two weeks ago. We could not run the ball on them for the most part (61 of our rushing yards came on a garbage TD run with 14 secs left). That remains our biggest problem and it scares the hell outta me. I was at the Army/Navy game last year and was very impressed with Craig Candeto. The one saving grace is that I think the strength of our D is the athleticism of our LBs which should help to contain Candeto. As far as home field advantage, not much of one. We'll have maybe 20-25K (satdium holds 42k). One thing that could help is that we had off last week and hence have had a little extra time to prepare for the Navy O.
