Scary.
That is the word head coach Ken Niumatalolo used to succinctly describe Navy's season-opening matchup with Fordham.
Fordham is a Football Championship Subdivision school with the pedigree to pull off an upset off a Football Championship Subdivision opponent such as Navy. The Rams compiled a 38-14 record with three playoff appearances and a Patriot League championship from 2012-2015.
Fordham also owns a pair of victories over FBS schools during that time, upsetting Temple in 2012 and knocking off Army in 2015.
"You're always nervous going into the first game, but this one makes me really nervous," Niumatalolo said.
