A win over Navy could ensure a division I-AA playoff berth for Delaware.

The Navy-Marine Corps Memorial All-Stadium specialists and coaches will be honored at halftime of Saturday's game against Delaware. Linebacker Ross Pospisil's "heart is made of gold and his will is made of iron," writes Bob Socci.

"Real inspiration could be found on a football field this past weekend, in South Bend, Ind., where Navy again beat Notre Dame," writes John Feinstein.

John Waters of FanHouse says, "If you support the Fighting Irish, you had to be rooting for Navy to some degree. On Saturday the Mids exuded all the traits that one would hope to see in their favorite team: discipline, determination, intelligence and opportunism."

The Berry family had divided loyalties this past Saturday: Tim is a Midshipmen, and brother Patrick is a member of the Notre Dame marching band.
