That second half was a root canal but thankfully the points you score in the first count, too. My primary big picture takeaway is that Marcus Freeman had his team focused at the start despite the Clemson hangover, which was a major concern considering some of the lapses earlier this season. Things got sketchy there for a bit but that seems more like a failure of in-game adjustments (not good, mind you, but a different issue) and the weirdness of playing Navy.
