Micah Capra practiced dutifully yet watched on Saturdays from the sidelines his first two seasons. Now, though, he is another uncanny example among academy athletes that overcome their inexperience when called upon in the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy series. Capra, an Air Force senior second-year starting defensive tackle, was ready for Army and Navy despite the pressure …

A week ago Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo, while studying video to face Notre Dame, judged Irish quarterback Ian Book a dynamic difference between coach Brian Kelly’s 2018 team and recent seasons. Well, now what does he think? With a chance to see Notre Dame (8-0) up close in the Irish’s 44-22 win over the Navy …

The game this weekend between Clemson and Louisville looks like one of the biggest mis-matches in recent ACC history. The current spread is Clemson -39, but is that the biggest spread between two ACC teams the last 20 years? I asked this question on twitter, and got some eye opening responses. Thanks for those that …

NC State fans are quick to blame their defense after Syracuse dropped 51 on them. They should be mad too, but there’s some context to what happened. Nobody has stopped the Syracuse offense all season, except for Clemson pulling the trick in the 2nd half of their game. That Clemson defense is arguably the nation’s …

How bad is Louisville playing right now? It’s as bad as Clemson is playing good. Today Louisville played Wake Forest, the only other winless team team in the ACC at home. It was likely the Cardinals last opportunity for a victory this season. They lost their 5th game of the season by 18 or more …

Well, it’s been a week since the game in Death Valley. NC State played, the worst game I’ve seen them play in 2 years. I would argue that this is the worst performance in the Dave Doeren era at NC State. It is worse then that initial 3-9 Doeren team. Finley played the worst game …

As homecomings go, Navy football player Chris Gesell touches all the bases, including jumping with two feet on his metaphorical home plate, San Diego. Aside from using a baseball metaphor for a football game, that’s quite a story and lifetime memory. Gesell grew up in San Diego before he left for the Naval Academy in …

CHARLOTTE — N.C. State coach Kevin Keatts grinned a cunning smile when asked if C.J. Bryce, an All-Colonial Athletic Association first-team pick for him at UNC-Wilmington, was an overlooked ACC player coming out of high school or one that has blossomed. Keatts, seated at a table in the Spectrum Center at the Atlantic Coast Conference …

I’m a scarred Georgia Tech fan. I’ve seen so many blown leads, so many 2 minute end of the half scores by opposing offenses, and so many sloppy turnovers on offense the last 2 years. After Virginia Tech’s quick under 2 minute score with their first possession, I tweeted this. I know most Georgia Tech …

Clemson I am thrilled to say that Florida State is trending upwards under the Taggart regime. With a an Offensive Line that is, finally, finding it’s rhythm under the new offense, Francois is finding the explosive plays necessary to enable Florida State wins over their tough slate of opponents.
