As we head into 2013, while these guys may not have eye-popping statistics, they will play key roles in keeping the engine going for academy offenses. Here are five fullbacks to watch: http://navy.scout.com/2/1293886.html 8 Bryan Doherty http://navy.scout.com/2/1293886.html Thu, 23 May 2013 04:20:00 GMT 1 240 Navy navy Translating yardage into production and value is something Air Force needs to become better at in 2013. Army has to make more of its plus-territory possessions. Navy must continue to avoid interceptions.

You will often see a number of contributors at this position, given the physical toll it takes on players. With these three offenses representing some of the top running attacks in the country, here are five guys to watch out for in 2013: http://airforce.scout.com/2/1291597.html 8 Bryan Doherty http://airforce.scout.com/2/1291597.html Wed, 15 May 2013 04:05:00 GMT 1 238 Air Force airforce There’s certainly no shame in giving up 21 points. On many days, giving up only 21 points will be good enough to win a game. No, this isn’t an attempt to present 21 as some kind of magic number; this is instead an effort to unpack a simple truth about that particular point total. http://airforce.scout.com/2/1291311.html 8 Matt Zemek http://airforce.scout.com/2/1291311.html Tue, 14 May 2013 04:09:00 GMT 1 238 Air Force airforce Today we are going to continue with the second part of our opposition danger men preview. These players are the ones who can take over on a Saturday if they are not properly game planned for and each has the potential to be a real thorn in the side of the Naval Academy when game time rolls around. This time we look at the start of the second quarter of the schedule with Air Force and Duke. http://navy.scout.com/2/1291306.html 8 Steve Wright http://navy.scout.com/2/1291306.html Mon, 13 May 2013 15:46:00 GMT 1 240 Navy navy Air Force finished the 2012 season with a disappointing 6-7 record.

At the service academies they can take on an even bigger level of importance. Given the limited passing attacks these schools possess, most third and longs wind up becoming punting situations. Add in the kicker concerns most teams in college football have, and these guys can impact a game more than some would think. http://airforce.scout.com/2/1289885.html 8 Bryan Doherty http://airforce.scout.com/2/1289885.html Thu, 09 May 2013 04:01:00 GMT 1 238 Air Force airforce Some statistics are highly subtle and nuanced.

Beyond the fact that passes are thrown at a minimum, none of the academy teams possess the Calvin Johnson or Demaryius Thomas types the college football world has seen at Georgia Tech. Yet, here are five receivers that will be asked to make the key catch in crucial moments: http://navy.scout.com/2/1288176.html 8 Bryan Doherty http://navy.scout.com/2/1288176.html Wed, 01 May 2013 04:03:00 GMT 1 240 Navy navy Air Force finished the 2012 season with a disappointing 6-7 record.

The point of emphasis in this week’s analysis is a simple one: The Falcons must cultivate a more disruptive defense in 2013. http://airforce.scout.com/2/1287815.html 8 Matt Zemek http://airforce.scout.com/2/1287815.html Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:05:00 GMT 1 238 Air Force airforce On paper the 2013 Air Force passing defense should be improved. The Falcons return several key players to a secondary that helped the Falcons ranked No. 35 nationally in passing defense. http://airforce.scout.com/2/1287507.html 8 D.

While the passing numbers for triple-option quarterbacks will never reflect those of other quarterbacks around the country, this style of offense demands that quarterbacks be efficient. Here are five quarterbacks that could take on a significant role for their teams in 2013: http://navy.scout.com/2/1286120.html 8 Bryan Doherty http://navy.scout.com/2/1286120.html Wed, 24 Apr 2013 04:13:00 GMT 1 240 Navy navy Why did the 2010 Air Force football team rise to a 9-4 record while the 2012 team fell short? That question can be answered in many equally legitimate ways. One fascinating angle is that while lost fumbles hurt the 2012 Falcons more than anything else, another aspect of competition carried almost as much (negative) weight. http://airforce.scout.com/2/1285715.html 8 Matt Zemek http://airforce.scout.com/2/1285715.html Tue, 23 Apr 2013 04:17:00 GMT 1 238 Air Force airforce
