WEST POINT, N.Y. — For the better part of the past two decades, Navy fielded one of the most feared rushing attacks in college football. Just last season, the Midshipmen set a single-season school record for rushing yards (4,687) while leading the nation in that category for the sixth time since 2003.
On a dark, overcast and extremely foggy day at West Point, a nationwide audience watched a dysfunctional Navy offense that has become a laughingstock this season. College football fans accustomed to seeing the Midshipmen’s patented triple-option pile up the yards and points while chewing up the clock were wondering what in the world has happened.
