NAVY KEY: EXECUTE OFFENSIVELY FOR 60 MINUTES
That has been easier said than done this season as Navy has rarely put together two halves of good offensive football. By far the most complete performance came during a 37-29 defeat of Tulsa when quarterback Zach Abey directed an offense that amassed 404 total yards. The Midshipmen have looked good for one half in numerous other games, but that type of effort won’t cut it on this day. Navy needs to play flawless, which means completing eliminating the penalties, negative plays and assignment errors that have plagued the unit.
