Quarterback Keenan Reynolds stated during Navy Media Day that one of the main goals for the senior class is to "get the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy back where it belongs."
Step one in that process takes place this Saturday when Navy hosts Air Force in the opening leg of the three-way service academy competition.
One could accurately argue that Saturday's matchup is the most important step since either Air Force or Navy has captured the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy every year since 1997.
Army has not held the three-sided piece of hardware since 1996 and has gone into the season-ending showdown with Navy with a chance to claim the Commander-in-Chief's only twice (2005 and 2012) since then.
