The QB change to the freshman has been a blessing in disguise for Navy. Counting the AF game in which he came in as an injury replacement, the Midshipmen have averaged 30 ppg the last 3 games. Before the AF game? 14.5ppg. Take out the 41-3 win against mighty VMI, 5.6 ppg.
Granted, Navy played ND, Penn St, and San Jose St those games, so it's easy to see why they only averaged that little amount. But that tough schedule early on is paying dividends now.
Those first 3 games of the year, Navy committed 10 turnovers. Since the QB change to Reynolds? 0 turnovers in 3 games, and even a spark in the passing game, he threw for 3 TD's against CMU.
Navy's HC has raved about Reynolds all year, even before he inherited the starting QB role. Now we see why.
I don't see a blowout here, given that ECU has a pretty good run D, and an awful pass D. I don't see Navy trying to chuck it up in the air more just cause ECU is bad in pass D. I think they might be able to catch them off guard a few times using play action though. I didn't even mention the fact that this is your typical "team playing a triple option offense that they don't see very often in the middle of conference play" game, I see a 7-10 point win for the Midshipmen.

Like the matchup here, Navy's triple option against a defense that is average at best. E. Carolina on paper looks like they have a decent run defense but that is partly due to the fact that the teams in their coference are killing them with the pass. Look for them to give up more than their average today against a Navy team committed to run. The Middies are a nice road dog going 15-6 ATS the last 5 years. Navy catches the Pirates in between conference games. Looks like Navy +3.5 GLTA!
