Super Bowl Update

Here's a good halftime video of Larry Blakeney talking to the CBS Sports sideline reporter, updated by @TrojanChad01. It about simplifies things. The title on the video was put in by the user that uploaded the video, not me.

Here's some postgame quotes. Gamer and notes to be posted on dothaneagle.com later.

LINEBACKER BRANNON BRYAN: "I guess they just outplayed us. They’re a disciplined bunch and a great group of guys, but tonight just wasn’t our night on either side of the ball. Their offense just outplayed us."

"Against an offense like that, every man has to be perfect on every play. If there’s any let-up by one guy, it’s a big play."

"We’ve still got a lot to play for. We’ve got four conference games that are really important. We’ve still got a chance to be 6-6. we’ve just got to get back to work tomorrow."

On Navy's offense: "You can work on that. You can go try to get K.D. Edenfield and two or three other boys on our scout team that are redshirting and try to simulate that, but you can’t come close to it. I knew it. We took an extra day, we worked in pads, we did everything we could do and I knew we weren’t going to be anywhere close to the speed and execution level that these guys had."

"You just hope and pray that you can overmatch them somehow, but they were good enough. They could run good enough. They could block good enough. We didn’t have it. Of course, we didn’t have it on the other side, either."

Jamie Hampton played a bit and took the Trojans on a touchdown drive, but he left the game with a foot injury. Kanorris Davis left with a concussion. There's no QB controversy, though. Corey Robinson is still the guy.

But what was Navy doing to stop Troy's offense? "They weren’t doing anything new. They were playing a rush four sometimes, a rush five sometimes, most of the time they were dropping eight, playing some two, playing some three, a little bit of man, a little mixture."

And, the clincher: "We’re not very good," the coach said.

Navy outgained Troy 517-398. Time of possession was Navy 32:22 to Troy's 25:18, though Navy had it at a 2-1 mark in the first half (19:31 to 10:29).

Tony Davis shifted to defensive end for this week, but he'll be back at tackle for the rest of the season.

"The defensive scheme for this week, they moved me to end this week so I was backing up Massaquoi," Davis said. "It was just what we were facing this week and I guess they didn’t want me inside to face all that mess in there."

"It really doesn’t matter. I’m just here to help this team win. I’ll do anything to help this team win. That was my role this week and I was comfortable."
