At Navy, Passing Is Secondary
Tyree Barnes had expressed an interest in playing football for Navy before he sat down in front of the television to watch the Midshipmen take on Notre Dame in November 2003. What he saw that afternoon surprised him, but perhaps the bigger surprise is that the wide receiver didn't immediately change his mind and cross Navy off his list.
"I just saw them run and run and run," Barnes recalled earlier this week. (That's not an exaggeration: Navy ran the ball on 53 of 58 offensive plays in the 27-24 loss.) "It didn't faze me, but it didn't hit home that that was the offense until then."
