TULSA, OKLAHOMA – Head coach Ken Niumatalolo talks constantly about the fact Navy cannot beat itself on the football field.
Niumatalolo was beating that drum against last week when speaking to the media after practice.
“Our games are always close. I wish we could beat people like Alabama does, but we’re the Naval Academy. We have to find a way to make sure we win games and don’t lose them,” Niumatalolo said. “That’s why I’m such a stickler on ball security, penalties, missed assignments. We want to make teams to have to beat us.”
Navy did a darn good job of trying to beat itself during the first half of Saturday’s game here at H.
