Navy usually has the element of surprise going for it against most opponents, but UConn is as well-prepared for the triple-option as a team can possibly be heading into Saturday's contest.
In its first two games this season, Navy's offense has imposed its will on opposing defenses.
Colgate, a Football Championship Subdivision opponent, can be forgiven for being incapable of stopping Navy's triple-option attack, but the Midshipmen really showed the country they could be dangerous against East Carolina. Navy rushed for 415 yards against the Pirates' strong run defense, averaging 5.5 yards per carry. Quarterback Keenan Reynolds and fullback Chris Swain each eclipsed 100 yards.
