Team Performance of the Week: Military Schools
The first TPW of the season goes to the combined might of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Army beat Eastern Michigan this week, 27-14. Its really nothing special except that Army is 1-0 for the first time since 1996. Navy lost to Ohio State, 31-27, the four point difference being a Navy 2-point conversion being intercepted and returned for two the other way late in the game. Otherwise, Navy played well down the stretch against a largely overrated, but still intimidating, Ohio State team. But it was Air Force that had the most impressive looking score of the week. Taking on Nicholls State, and with both teams running essentially the same offense(Air Force coaches actually taught Nicholls State how to run the option offense), Air Force proceeded to put on a clinic in running the ball. They put up 576 yards of total offense, 474 of that on the ground. They scored 10 touchdowns, eight of them on the run(the other two: a 57 yard pass and a fumble return). And they shut out Nicholls, for a final score of 72-0. On the weekend, the three schools outscored opponents 126-45, for a combined 2-1 record.
