THREE THINGS THAT MUST GO RIGHT
1) Quarterback Keenan Reynolds must stay healthy: Reynolds is the straw that stirs the drink and the Navy offense just isn't the same without him. The Midshipmen struggled to move the ball consistently and score points during a three-game losing streak that occurred while Reynolds was hobbled by a leg injury.
2) Dale Pehrson needs to successfully replace Buddy Green as defensive coordinator: By far the biggest news of preseason was the surprise announcement that Green would take a sabbatical to focus on his health.
