Navy Football held an important scrimmage for an hour on Saturday, April 1st, and one thing is for certain- the defense is ahead of the offense. Now, that’s something that’s very commonplace all around the country in the spring. The defense is predominantly ahead of the offense, with offenses being much more complicated to install and rhythm and timing being so important, especially in an option offense. Defenses are based more on read and react which comes from lining your defenders up and letting them play quick and free.
Navy QB Zach Abey, who has three marquee games under his belt after Tiago Smith and Will Worth went down in 2016, was in a non-contact jersey which limits him flashing escape-ability and being a real force in the triple option.
