Navy Key: Complete passes
Army is going to stack the line of scrimmage and be aggressive in order to disrupt the triple-option. The Black Knights have proven very adept in recent years of timing the snap count and beating the Mids off the ball, thereby gaining penetration. Navy needs to throw the ball to counteract the Army schemes and loosen up the defense. Wide receiver Jamir Tillman may be the best player on the field and needs to be utilized in this game. Tillman (6-4, 212) and Colon (6-4, 223) both present matchup problems for Army cornerbacks Elijah Riley (6-0, 193) and Jaylon McClinton (5-10, 180).
