ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The first major prime time game of the football season was welcomed after COVID-19 shut down college sports for almost six months.
Both Navy and Brigham Young entered the game with high expectations.
The Midshipmen tied a school record for win in last year's 11-2 campaign. As usual, they lost several key players, but enough talented players returned to have optimism.
The story was different for the Cougars after going 7-6 last year. Most of their offense and several key defensive stalwarts were back, leaving them poised for significant improvement in 2020.
The game, unfortunately, failed to match the anticipation with BYU dominating early and cruising to a 55-3 victory.
