SAN DIEGO STATE - Hard to believe that TCU only ranks 90th in total defense after finishing 1st in that statistical category each of the last three years. San Diego State RB Ronnie Hillman is the nation's second-leading rusher with 151.5 yards per game, including 109 in the Aztecs' lone loss at Michigan.
Southern Miss - Navy has two straight losses - at South Carolina and at home to Air Force - by a total of 4 points. Southern Miss won at Virginia but inexplicably lost at Marshall. The Golden Eagles rank 11th nationally against the run.

"Army coach Rich Ellerson is dialing down practice this week to help his team, which is knicked up.
The team didnt practice in pads like it normally does on a Tuesday. Ellerson said if a pads practice was held a lot of his team would be watching if they did.
Ellerson expects sophomore wide receiver Jared McFarlin (concussion) to return this week. Sophomore linebacker Justin Trimble (leg) is likely out for Saturdays game at Miami (Ohio)."

"We have two real challenges this week. The first one is our own. Can we, in a difficult week academically, go on the road to the scene of several crimes, the Midwest, where we have played poorly, and manage our week, manage our enthusiasm, manage our legs, manage our time and get our rest and play well; play well on the road. The other challenge is Miami. Miami hasnt won a game, which is crazy when you look at the video tape"
On if hes preparing the team differently for this road trip
A couple of things are a little different. We have the experience of what a Thayer Week can do to you the last time and we didnt handle it very well, so were going to do some Draconian things in preparation for this contest. Our sophomore class is in an especially difficult week; a challenging week. So, were going to do whatever we need to to accommodate those guys, so they can get their work done, prepare and at the same time get enough sleep so physically and nutritionally theyre going to be ready to go. Two, were at that point in the season after five tough games that we have just enough nicks and bruises and sprains that it makes sense to back off a little bit in terms of our physical work this week. If we go out there and we try to have a very traditional, fundamental practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, well be practicing with guys who wont be playing in the game because the guys are going to play in the game, we hope, just cant practice that way. Theyre a little bit banged up. We also have that group of guys that could use that practice that our sophomores, but frankly their time is not going to allow that. Were going to do something thats unique to West Point, were going to manage our time accordingly.
Thanks RayBolts for his prophetic statement: "Scoot you will hit em both this week, nice work"
