TOP POST ON The 12th Knight message board
if there was ever an opportunity to respond to a recent bad loss (Buffalo) and a less recent bad loss (Duke at Michie last year) this is it.
I am looking forward to seeing how the coaches and players use the advantage of a bye week to prepare for this game. I see this as the most challenging of the next 3 games so let's see what kinds of innovations and tactics this Army team can pull off. If we lose running our basic vanilla versions of our offense and defense I will be disappointed. We may win or lose this game but I want to see that the bye week has been put to good use.
I expect better kicking and expect that FG and kickoff techniques will be much sharper in this game. I want to see more QB pressure from our D and the return of the sack. I want to see much better passing efficiency from the 5 to 10 attempts I expect we will try. And I want to see our O line handling the 4 man Duke front that got into our offensive backfield far too easily and often last year.
