Academy success hinges on their QB more than most

Having a QB that can get 4+ on every down and once in a while complete a pass makes their offense work and keeps their d off the field which helps negate the usual skill position advantage other teams have.

Look at navy this year. Their QB most of the year was a running back who could break long runs but couldn't get 4+ every down. Too many no gains on first and they can't keep going. Their success was when they had great QB play.

I wouldn't put a lot of stock in any of that -- Tailgate Guru 12/23/2018 11:52AM

Also, Houston was missing three starters from its defensive line. ** -- RJHokie 12/23/2018 11:56AM

Only 3 starters? VT says "Pshaw!!!" to that! ** -- Late 80s Hokie 12/27/2018 1:51PM
