The first leg of the path to retaining the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy takes place on Saturday, October 21 at noon ET in Annapolis, MD. The Falcons will arrive on a high after dispatching the Wyoming Cowboys in a hard fought battle that left them in command of the top spot in the Mountain West and undefeated at 6-0. Those accomplishments have earned them a rating of No. 22 in both the AP and the Coach’s poll.
The Navy Midshipmen come into the game with a 3-3 record after their shutout victory over Charlotte last week. New head coach Brian Newberry (previously Navy’s defensive coordinator) has installed Grant Chesnut as the new offensive coordinator.
