Look for Army to push for their fifth straight win and get the best Bowl Game possible. Those Under center for the Black Knights, is their senior quarterback, Christian Anderson. Anderson has completed just 21 of 44 pass attempts for yards for five touchdowns and no interceptions.
On the ground, Anderson has 91 rushing attempts for yards and has scored six touchdowns. When Anderson decides to hand the ball off he has several options. Robinson, who is the leading rusher, has rushed for yards on 59 attempts and has found the endzone three times. Navy is also coming off a win in its last game at Temple, where the team had its highest scoring output in a margin.
Navy has had two straight losing seasons, which it has not seen since the Midshipmen had five straight losing seasons from between the through the seasons.
Army has a tendency when it does pass though to go deeper, while Navy uses the short passing game. However, Lavatai is by far the better passer of the two. On defense, LB Diego Fagot is by far and away the biggest playmaker on the team. He leads the Navy defense with 85 tackles, has an interception, a forced fumble, and a sack. He is a strong run defender but is also capable in coverage. If he can get a turnover or generate some negative plays, Navy will have a chance in this game.
The nature of this Rivalry is such that a close game, despite the records, is almost always the case. I expect a low scoring game with Army getting a narrow lead in the first half. Navy will be able to score early in the third quarter but Army will be able to wear out the Navy defense in the fourth quarter to get its ninth win of the season.
Army gives up just over rushing yards per game, in no small part due to their defensive line. Both guys are monster hitters versus the run. Army has struggled at times against the pass this season, but the issue is definitely not the pass rush.
We saw this most poignantly in the Wake Forest game, but both Air Force and Western Kentucky hit some deep passes down the field late in games against the Black Knights. However, Lavatai is by far the better passer of the two. Navy tends to runs shorter passing routes than Army does. By comparison, Army mostly uses passing to generate explosive plays. For Army, that statistic in 1 in 3. If Navy can establish the Dive, they should be able to get significant yardage on the perimeter.
This has long been THE fundamental principal for the triple-option offense. Thus, the key match-ups in this game exist along the line of scrimmage. We've finally got our special unis for America's Game on Dec. Army or Navy? ArmyNavy pic. Navy has the advantage in all special teams units, except punting and kick blocking. Navy kicker Bijan Nichols has been perfect inside of 40 yards and has a long field goal of 50 this season.
Army kicker Cole Talley has a long of Army and Navy have each allowed two kick return touchdowns this year. No, not college football players opting out of bowl games and coaches getting mega contracts with new schools.
Army and Navy will line up for one of college football's best rivalries this weekend as mirror opposites of each other. Army is and Navy is , but you can always throw the records out in this one because the two service academies play very much the same style of football and the clock will be running for the majority of the game as a result. Army has enjoyed long-awaited success in this rivalry with four wins in the last five meetings, including last season's victory in a game played on Army's campus in West Point due to the pandemic's impact on the college football world.
Kickoff: Saturday, Dec. You may not be too shocked to learn that Army owns the nation's second-best rushing offense this season. Army was one of two teams to average at least rushing yards per game this season, with the only team with more being Air Force.
Army averages 4.
