This is such an odd claim to make. Army had two drives go 10 plays or more, one ended in a punt and the other resulted in a TD. Otherwise they had a 9 play 48 yard drive that they scored a TD on due to a failed onside kick. The other 3 drives we got off the field within 7 plays or less (not counting the final drive). Considering they pretty much always go for it on 4th and short, I'd consider that a success. Not counting the end of half "drives" against ECU, Army scored on 7 of 10 possessions. Against UAB they scored on 7 of 9. Against Tulsa they scored on 8 of 9. Against Temple 6 of 10. Against Rice 5 of 8. I've posted this nonstop but this was the first multi-turnover game of the year for Army. It was their QBs first interception. We held them to their lowest point total in 14 games. What more did the defense need to do? I've also posted this before: our offense is explosive but inconsistent. Good but not great. This game is a prime example. Every week we go dry for 4 or 5 straight drives. That may be ok when you get 14 offensive possessions but against a team that takes a 50 seconds off the clock with every snap, you can't go dry like that. It is what it is, I guess. Just another example of this offensive philosophy not being made for winning football.

We can’t because Erick Morris said it’s too hard to switch defenses mid season. By my count, this is the third type of defense they’ve ran this year. 🤷‍♂️

Do you remember what football team you follow?

Trust me. Most of us are well aware.

Morris just gets in his own way. I prefer more intermediate routes opposed to short quick hitting routes. They moved the ball quite well with their first drive doing just that, then went back to the stale quick hitters that barely gains anything. Keep the damn passes going forward instead of sideline to sideline. And, learn to gain ONE DAMN YARD!!!
