Winning and losing close games isn’t always about luck.

During the tenure of Coach Gilmore we had a sub-optimal record in “close ” games, games decided by 3 or fewer points, or by 7 or fewer points, whatever your definition of “close” is. I’ll bet we have a better record in such games in the Chesney era.

The Huskies started a freshman QB and we started a fifth year NFL prospect at QB. We still couldn't hang on and seal the deal. Lady Luck (aka preparation meets opportunity) owes us a few close wins at the end. In a season with very very few bright spots, the fact we outscored UConn the first half is one. I think they yanked their under performing frosh QB in the second half and then reeled off 3 straight TDs to beat us by 7. Last year we won some very close games (Yale, Fordham and Georgetown come immediately to mind). Hopefully we still have 'Lady Luck" on our side this year. Posted by HC92

No suggestion it is always about luck. Note the quotes around 'lady luck'. Referencing longsuffering use of it and definition ("preparation meets opportunity")

SB 25 Tazh Maloy Sr. 5-7 178 Pflugerville, Texas 22 Travis Brannan Sr. 6-0 180 Austin, Texas 23 Myles Fells Jr. 5-11 180 Little Rock, Ark. FB 43 Nelson Smith Jr. 5-9 218 Baton Rouge, La. 37 James Harris II So. 6-0 230 Mobile, Ala. 32 Isaac Ruoss So. 6-1 220 Mohton, Guess the Middies have not heard or used the proverbial "Elongator"! !

Last year we won some very close games (Yale, Fordham and Georgetown come immediately to mind). Hopefully we still have 'Lady Luck" on our side this year. IIRC, the QB UCONN started was a transfer from Louisville, a dual threat type. Howver, after he was unable to generate anything in the first half, senior Bryant Sheriffs replaced him second series of third quarter and led three straight TD drives. Sheriffs had been UCONN starter the year prior when they won just one or two games, hence the reason the transfer was given first lick at the job. I believe Sheriffs played through his senior season as the starter.

Thanks for the depth chart 45. By all accounts Perry will be a lot to handle as an athlete. Navy started another QB last year for most of the season and used him at slotback.

Last year Navy averaged 10 pass attempts per game versus 56 rushing attempts--I'd guess that we've not seen anything like that in many years.

In 2012, Colgate ran it 56 times versus only 14 passes when they played us. Not sure if there is a more recent example with that kind of disparity.

He put both throws in the receiver's hands, first one was dropped, second one was tightly covered. He may be able to shred some PL defenses. Two years of practice at WF should be an asset. In addition to the two returnees we have two newcomers nicely spaced as junior and freshman. Nice roster development. But we can't lose the freshman to the portal because we need J.Sherman on the board for four full years. Keep the whole squad pumped and jacked coach, it's nice feeling positive. Hahaha. Good one.

Pretty confident Chesney will name his starting QB no later than tomorrow.
Camp ends on Friday and the starter needs 90% of the remaining practice reps with the 1st team. From then on to the 29th, it's 'game week' prep specific to Navy.

Game notes should be posted on Monday, and should include a two-deep.

During the tenure of Coach Gilmore we had a sub-optimal record in “close ” games, games decided by 3 or fewer points, or by 7 or fewer points, whatever your definition of “close” is. I’ll bet we have a better record in such games in the Chesney era. There are close losses and there are BIZARRE close losses. In the latter category, Gilmore didn't just have one, which probably most coaches have had no matter how good (take the Pats' loss to Miami this year). Gilmore had three of those: Dartmouth, Wagner and Albany. I won't go into the gory details. Don't know what the guy could have done to prevent any of those.

The Albany loss was the worst and very preventable.
