team specific rundowns each week. Here are the defensive performances against Navy this year:

4. Air Force
62. Maryland
248. SMU
258. Wake Forest
488. Duke
659. East Carolina
850. Central Michigan
862. Louisiana Tech
1065. Notre Dame

How in the world was East Carolina's 76-point defensive effort better than our 35-point defensive effort? We gave up 35 points on six Navy non-garbage drives. East Carolina gave up 55 points on ten Navy non-garbage drives (forced one punt and two field goals). Also, field position needs to be taken into account. An average offense against an average defense would have been expected to score 24 points on those ten Navy drives against ECU. On their six drives against us, an average team should have scored only 10 points.
