Navy vs East Carolina Game Preview

Why Navy Will Win

The team got two weeks to prepare.

This hasn’t gone well so far for the Midshipmen with an 0-2 start, losses to Delaware and Memphis, and with the season slipping away before it could even get going.

However, this might be fixable.

The turnovers have to stop. They gave it up six times in those two games – three in each. Start there, come up with more on the outside with the running game against an East Carolina defense that hasn’t really been tested on the ground, and this might turn around fast.

The Navy D is getting into the backfield, it’s not bad at controlling the clock ben when the running game is working, and it’s only allowing 1.7 yards per carry.

With that said …

Why East Carolina Will Win

Yeah, the Navy ground game isn’t working.

It’s not generating the push needed inside, QB Tai Lavatai and others aren’t getting enough space to blow up big yards on the outside, and there’s absolutely no passing game to speak of other than the occasional big play down the field.

East Carolina got past the tough late loss to NC State with two solid performances against Old Dominion and Campbell. There hasn’t been a turnover in the last two games.

Be +2 in turnover margin, take an early lead, and this should be no problem.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Navy find any sort of a rushing groove?

It’s got the parts, and the defense hasn’t been all that bad, but the team simply isn’t able to do what makes it so good.

It needs East Carolina to implode, and it needs this to be a low scoring fight. Neither thing will happen.

Why Navy Will Win

Can East Carolina slow down a good running game? Sort of.

UCF and Georgia State were able to run without any sort of a problem in their wins over the Pirates, but USF couldn’t get going with just 92 yards. The Bulls ran for three touchdowns, but they weren’t enough to keep up.

Navy might not be consistent, but it’s been able to rise up in spurts just enough to pull a few wins out of the fire – it’s figuring it out. It starts with the running game, but the passing attack is connecting on the big play, leading the nation averaging close to 18 yards per completion.

Navy isn’t going to be Mississippi State wining it around, but it’ll be effective enough to be a problem.

Why East Carolina Will Win

East Carolina can take away a big part of the Navy puzzle – time of possession.

For the whole Midshipmen style to work, they have to control the tempo and keep their defense off the field. Unfortunately for them, East Carolina has been able to grind things out at times just enough to lead the AAC in time of possession, keeping the ball for close to 34 minutes per game.

Keep the your offense on the field for an extra ten minutes against Navy, and good things are going to happen.

The ECU offense has enough balance to keep Navy backpedaling. Holton Ahlers has thrown for over 200 yards in each of the three games, and the ground game hit the 200-yard mark in two of the three.

What’s Going To Happen

Navy is way, way, way too close to being 0-4 instead of 2-2. It’s really around three plays away from being winless, because the running game isn’t working like it’s supposed to and the team isn’t controlling things on the lines.

East Carolina isn’t going to lock down defensively to make this easy, but the offense will be good enough and balanced enough to be in control throughout.
