NAVY KEY: COME OUT WITH COMPLETE FOCUS, TAKE AN EARLY LEAD
Navy has the better football team. That has been proven over the course of the season. If the Midshipmen play to their full potential, this should not be a close game. However, history has shown the superior squad does not always win in this rivalry. News that head coach Ken Niumatalolo is interviewing for the BYU vacancy has created the type of distraction that could derail the favorites. Co-captains Keenan Reynolds and Bernie Sarra have kept this team focused on the task of hand all season and had to work doubly hard to do so this week.
