Malcolm Perry is now officially the starting quarterback, but he is not the one and only answer to Navy’s ongoing offensive struggles.
Navy’s patented triple-option offense did not operate smoothly during the second half of the season and a change at quarterback will not fix all the problems. That was the message of offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper, who cited a mixture of missed assignments, penalties and turnovers as major reasons why the Midshipmen were unable to sustain drives.
“Things just weren’t going right with the offense. I wasn’t coaching great and the group wasn’t playing great,” Jasper said.
