Navy- 41 UNT- 31 They'll be able to put together long scoring drives keeping our offense off the field. Rogers and Co. will have a great day, but a few Navy stops will put us behind. Our defense struggles to even slow Navy down.

We lost 4 of our top 6 or 7 defenders from last year (KD, Nixon, Gaddie, Robertson) A defense that was also really bad. To suggest we didn’t lose much is misleading. I agree the coaches failed to hit the portal enough on defense. But at this point it is what it is. Morris and Caponi are trying different looks to find something that works, but that’s not going to happen after a few weeks. Especially, after working on installing the 3-3-5 since the Spring.

There is no magical change Morris can do that will make this defense solid. Firing Caponi isn’t going to help the defense start playing better. Morris brought Caponi here to run the 3-3-5. He’s not going to fire him until he has the personal to properly run the defense. They’re obviously trying different looks to switch things up. We’ve run way more 4 man fronts the last 2 games, but still getting gashed. We just don’t have enough FBS caliber players on defense. No defensive scheme is going to change that. Ranting that heads should already be rolling after a few games is just typical illogical fan behavior.

…what exactly are you wanting Morris to do?

Nailed it

Any idea how our white jerseys were ruined so quickly? Each set comes with multiple replacements. And I wonder when we placed this order with Nike. We would have known a new set was needed last December. I can’t imagine any kind raw material shortage holding up an order that was placed at least 6-8 months in advance.

So did someone in the AD massively screw up or is Nike just treating us like a second rate school? It’s inexcusable to not have white/road unis to start the year let alone half the season…

Memphis is homecoming so I highly doubt they’ll go all black. I expect we’ll see those strutting eagle helmets on homecoming.

My guess is we go with the traditional Green helmet, Green jersey, and White pants

*Waiting to see who will be the first to complain about this*

Looks like ACU isn't very good. We dominate from the jump, but our defense will have a couple of breakdowns that lead to easy ACU scores. North Texas: 48 ACU: 20

Can't think of a better way to spend $175 haha That's awesome

Also on Homefield:

When can we expect Part 2?

Huh? They're 2-1 and not even receiving votes right now.

According to this, Southern Miss used the same eagle in the late 1970s. I believe we used it first, but I can’t confirm.

What really pisses me off about the current Scrappy costume is how the Athletic Department and University redesigned all the Scrappy logos to match it. Hell, there's even a statue on campus. I don't understand why we leaned so hard into a generic costume of mediocre quality.

Sadly, our current mascot costume isn't much better.

Hell.Yes.

With recent rule changes making it harder to run the triple option and NIL and the transfer portal, I really question how good the Service Academies will be in the new CFB landscape. Being forced to run offenses more in line with everyone else will make it easier to defend them, and they won't be able to take advantage of NIL and the transfer portal as well as everyone else. Not saying they'll suck, but I think they'll have a very hard time getting to the top of the conference.

Don't hold your breath

Some would say this is a good thing.

I’m hoping we use the next two weeks to install more looks from the 4-2-5. I’m guessing all we had last week was a base look with not a lot of stunts/blitzes/coverages. Might explain why we abandoned it in the 2nd half?

Should know in the next couple days…
