It was mostly FB Dive that Navy was getting the big plays on. ND starting DT is out and the backups were pushing outside pressure to take away the wingback outside run. Navy did a good job of identifying and exploiting in the first half. It seems Marcus Freeman and Al Golden made the adjustment at halftime to have the DTs play downhill to blow up the A and B gap. Navy is not having much success in the second half.

Personnel and coaching matter. The OL at SU is not great, but the coaching scheme has also not set them up for success this season. I think Schmidt is being asked to run a blocking scheme that our personnel are not well suited for and he does not have as much experience coaching. The change in offense has been closer to an overhaul, but Schrader was good enough to limit the impact of how poorly suited our current personnel are to execute it. Injuries galore have not helped.

When you play teams like Clemson and ND those things get exposed very quickly.
