It was only a matter of time before BK got overly involved in play calling, to ND's detriment.
The defensive alignment smacked of too much BK as well, imo. I could be wrong, maybe Elko prefers the 3-4 against option teams, but he's a 4-3 guy. Why would he go to a 3-4 (BK's preference) against an option team? Navy helped out here by running to the outside a lot. The play calling was more aggressive than the past few years thank god. Another year of the same 3-4 alignment and having the lads play back and let Navy dictate the play would've thrown me over the edge.
