Early Bird: Army/Navy Edition
November 14th, 2008 | Uncategorized | Posted by Mike Hoffman
Each morning I’ll scour the web to find what other papers and websites are writing about the Army and Navy football teams and link to them. Look at it as Early Bird’s college football edition.
This morning the focus for Navy in the headlines just like on the practice field is Notre Dame and seeing if they can upset the Fighting Irish two years in a row. The Black Knights and their defense will be getting ready for Rutgers’ quarterback Mike Teel.
Navy
- Who can forget Navy’s Ram Vela flying over Notre Dame’s line to sack quarterback Evan Sharpley in the fourth quarter of last year’s game? Don Markus of the Baltimore Sun wonders what he can do for an encore this Saturday.
- Navy sophomore quarterback Ricky Dobbs hasn’t stolen Allen Iverson’s “Practice? We’re talking about practice?” But as The Annaplos Capitol’s Bill Wagner writes, his coach sure has.
Army
- Despite the new option offense Army has installed this year, Ken McMillan with the Times Herald Record says it’s fallen to the defense this year to account for Army’s three wins.
- Meanwhile, the Big East conference announced that the Black Knights’ match up with Rutgers will be broadcast on ESPN Region Television in 50 markets across the country.
