Pitt had a myriad of problems facing Navy in Monday's Military Bowl. The largest, however, was trying to stop Midshipmen quarterback, Keenan Reynolds. Reynolds was supposed to be good, but against the Panthers in a 44-28 win, he was great.
The Navy quarterback's primary job is running the option and he did that to near perfection. Making the decision to keep it, pitch it (and if so where), etc., is what can make the option so hard to run. Much is made of the difficulty in defending it but it's not an easy thing to run, either.
