If logic suggested that the Air Force Falcons were going to be harmed by the loss of number-one quarterback Nate Romine against Michigan State, you wouldn't have been able to discern as much. Air Force's offense looked dangerous against the Spartans, and so as this Commander-In-Chief's Trophy game approaches, all eyes are on the matchup between Air Force's offense and Navy's defense.
A few tension points loom over Navy’s next game, the game which will almost certainly decide the owner of the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for 2015. However, when you remove those elements from the backdrop to the game which has produced every CIC Trophy winner since 1997, this Saturday’s clash with Air Force boils down to the Midshipmen’s defense and the Falcons’ offense.
