<p>UMass is no pushover. Navy has lost to 1-AA schools. Consider that they take many excellent transfers and JUCO grads plus their own recruits, 1-AA programs especially the top tier schools can hold their own against non-BCS schools. Just ask Colorado…Montana State won. Skylar Thornton who was highly recruited out of HS and played for UF as a backup tailback just transferred to GA Southern. Skylar was more highly recruited than anybody Navy has recruited in the past 4-5 decades and believe me, he can still play. Until Navy’s option offense is clicking and BH starts hitting his receivers, the first few games even against teams such as UMass could be close. The key will be Navy’s defense. With offenses getting less time on the field because the NCAA’s clock changes each possession is critical. Go Navy!</p>
