Tulsa is a 2.5 point favorite in all odd makers on espn to beat Navy

I believe this is great for our team confidence.

One advantage we have: Bill Young. I bet he's coached against the Wishbone / Veer / spread Triple Option more than just about any DC in the country considering his age.

We actually got some stops last year against them, but we kept going 3 and out or fumbling. The offense has to be what we know it can be this season.

Here's last year's drive summary for Tulsa offense:
Punt
Punt
Fumble
Punt
Punt
TO on Downs
TD
Safety
TD
Punt
Fumble
TD

That's 9 wasted possessions. ND only got 6 possessions total last week against them.

We need a more complete game than we've had all year to make this happen.

I will be watching at home. By myself. Maybe in a straight jacket.

The point spread is showing us a lot of respect. Sagarin #s = a toss up game @ Navy. I like the respect, but this TU team has thrived on "No respect".

read somewhere that Navy lost their starting fullback and a lineman to injuries last week and that is influencing the line
