Navy football will try to turn the page and put the 55-3 beatdown administered by BYU on Labor Day in the rearview mirror when it travels to New Orleans to take on Tulane at noon Saturday.
The Midshipmen had a bye this past weekend, as a home game against Lafayette was canceled when the Patriot League decided not to play fall sports in July, and it was much needed as coach Ken Niumatalolo made the decision to begin full contact practices.
That gave the Navy coaching staff almost two weeks to conduct a mini-camp featuring live scrimmage situations in which the starting offense and defense squared off against each other for the first time.
