Navy had one of the worst scoring offenses in the country with 53 points in their first four games this season. The offense matched that in a single game with a dominant 53-21 victory against Tulsa. While there were many positives for Navy, one stands above the rest. Head Coach Ken Niumatalolo finally found his feature back for the Midshipmen’s triple-option offense.
Sophomore Daba Fofana came into the game with 116 rushing yards and no touchdowns in his collegiate career. On the first few drives of the game, Fofana was utilizing his 205-pound frame to punish Tulsa’s linebackers.
