I'd bet that JT will have a lil USC sprinkled in there too.

any other weekend when USC isn't the following opponent. There's a major difference between USC and every other team on our schedule.
I'm not saying the coaching staff doesn't sprinkle in some USC during Navy week, but that is scary to me. The option isn't easy to defend, and you don't just throw out superior athletes and stop it. It takes discipline and a lot of practice time to learn how to defend it.
Navy has beaten some very good teams over the last several years, so to just assume an easy victory is a bit presumptious to me. Especially when you consider Marshall, Troy, Ohio, Cincinnati, etc. as teams that scared us late into the ball game.
