But I wouldn't classify a statistically average day for Navy and a 29-17 loss as a steam-rolling. If we had beaten them 34-29 and put up 440 yards of offense, would you be saying we destroyed them? I would say that our offense destroyed their defense, but the team as a whole wouldn't have destroyed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The only aspect of the game in which we were not thoroughly beaten was on special teams, more specifically, kick returns. I chose to go with steam rolling for the double entendre, if you will, depicting both the literal (giving up 450 yards on the ground) and figurative (being beaten and beaten well). You of all people should have appreciated the obvious cleverness of my posts. Edited April 12, 2016 by George Jenkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we won by 5 points and had 440 yards of offense I would say that our offense was dominant, but as a team we weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont consider it a roll when we were close to victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't thoroughly beaten in the only aspect of the game that really matters and is the most important one ..... the scoreboard. Had the lead going into the 4th quarter, lost by only 12 points, so not sure how anybody can classify that game as us being steam rolled (unless the score doesn't matter). To see an example of a team being steam rolled, revisit the 2015 USF-Cincy game. And as the board Wordsmith, your double entendre defense was just woeful ...
