Navy football offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper non-committal about reopening quarterback competition

Navy offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper was non-committal when asked during a virtual news conference Thursday if the quarterback competition would be renewed in the wake of Monday night’s blowout loss to BYU.

The Midshipmen could not muster a sustained drive and did not manage a touchdown in getting routed, 55-3, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Starting quarterback Dalen Morris looked shaky and indecisive during the first half then sat out the second half.

Morris finished with 2 rushing yards on seven attempts, mostly the result of a sack and several tackles for loss. The 6-foot-1, 206-pound senior completed 2 of 4 passes for 16 yards in the face of a fierce pass rush.
