At present, Navy has yet to find something to hang its hat on offensively. No element of the triple-option has proven overly effective — not the fullback dive, quarterback keeper or slotback pitch. If anything, the Mids have enjoyed their most success by passing the ball, which is not the identity of a triple-option outfit.

Navy is a bad team. Worst Navy squad Coach Ken has fielded.

its only natural…Many many great seniors last year are now gone, and then their top QB coming back gets hurt…Theyre in a rebuilding year.

By the numbers
12 – Consecutive home wins for the Midshipmen dating back to the 2014 season.
251.5 – Rushing yards for Navy’s triple-option offense, which ranks 14th in FBS. The Midshipmen have not ranked worse than sixth in rushing in the last 14 seasons.
