Game 4 vs Navy: A Family Affair

Coming off of the first conference game of the 2008 season Wake will face the Naval Academy on September 27 at BB&T Field. That weekend is the 2008 Family Weekend, meaning we can all look forward to (or dread) the appearance of Mama Deac at the game.

It's difficult to imagine Navy presenting too much of a challenge this season. Having lost coach Johnson to Georgia Tech, Navy is likely to be trying to get their feet back underneath them and reestablish themselves as a strong team. You can always count on Navy to be a disciplined team that will look about the same from year to year, but ultimately the talent shouldn't be there to hang with the Deacs.

As long Wake avoids stupid mistakes and takes care of the ball, Navy shouldn't have much of a chance in this one and the Deacs should be 2-0 at BB&T.

Interesting note: According to this page, Wake is planning on adding seats in the North End Zone in front of Bridger Field House for Parents Weekend. They are offering the seats to parents as part of a special package that includes food and access to various parts of Bridger. See the above link for complete information. I'm not quite sure what the purpose of this package is, but I'm wondering if they're using it to test the viability of this option in the future. I don't mind them trying it, but I'll be interested to see how it is implemented. What are your thoughts?

Should I be more nervous about this one? I doubt it, but let me know.
