Navy’s defense stumbled upon a potential dilemma when Michael McMorris, the Mids’ leading cover cornerback and the surefire candidate to cover one of Memphis’ main offensive weapon, did not make his start.
They found their replacement for McMorris in 5-foot-11 junior Jamal Glenn, a Laurel native who had the golden “Get 6” chain strung around his neck as a reward for his first career forced fumble late in the first half of Saturday night’s 10-7 loss to Memphis.
While laboring to cover the Tigers’ top receiving target, Calvin Austin III, who entered the game with 46 receptions for 820 yards, Glenn zeroed in on Memphis wide receiver Tahj Washington racing toward the red zone.
