To say it’s been a roller-coaster season so far for the Navy football team would be a serious understatement.
Navy’s patented triple-option offense looks completely inept one week, then operates efficiently the next. This Jekyll and Hyde act has occurred within a game, evidenced by a 31-29 win over Temple on Saturday night one week after a 40-7 blowout loss against Air Force.
At this point, all we really know is that sophomore kicker Bijan Nichols is clutch when called upon to kick field goals in crunch time. He has already booted two game-winners this season, including a career-best 50-yarder to beat Temple.
