in trying to formulate some initial thoughts about the upcoming season. And further to the SB Nation preview about our successful depending on "playing keep away". IMO we will go as our Defense goes. On Off we can recruit OL, we can bedevil many opponents, we can find a way to score points. Its about getting off the field on Def. For most of the last 20 years we have fielded an Ivy league calibre def. Recently we have a full FBS LB corps, and we have done a bit better at CB, but safeties and DL have been akin to the Ivys. If we continue an upward trajectory in Def athletes, stopping the run, take aways, more overall stops, we are going to have the success Navy has had.
