Navy Key: Control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball
This game will be won or lost in the trenches as both teams want to run the football. It will be a battle of wills with the men up front trying to control the line of scrimmage. Navy center Parker Wade graded out extremely high for his performance in the opener. Wade must team with guards Evan Martin and Robert Lindsey to get movement inside against a tough, physical Tulane defensive front led by a pair of veterans in tackles Sean Wilson and Ade Aruna.
