11:30 AM Navy at Air Force:
This is a
matchup that is part of the Commander-in-Chief cup between the Naval Academy
and the Air Force Academy. Navy comes into this game at a disappointing 1-3 on
the season with the sole win over FCS foe Virginia Military Institute. The
Midshipmen are the 5th worst passing team in the nation but are only the 24th
best rushing team with a disappointing 216 yards on the ground per game. The
Midshipmen have been equally disappointing on defense and taking out the win
over VMI, Navy is giving up 32 points per game on the season. Air Force comes
in at 2-2 but have a disappointing loss to UNLV on the schedule so far. The
Falcons are the nation's top rushing team with 396 yards on the ground per game
with the 3rd worst passing attack in the nation. Air Force is led by pint-sized
running back Cody Getz who has 683 yards rushing and 7 touchdowns on the
season. This is the 45th meeting between these two storied programs with Air
Force holding the overall series edge 27-17 with wins in the last two meetings.
This is a tough game to pick because Navy's defense has shown signs of playing much
better but Air Force's run game is so hard to stop. Expect a game in the 20s
that Air Force pulls out late. Air Force 29-21.
