The Navy Midshipmen are coming off a 10-0 win over East Carolina. Their defense is not quite as good as SMU's which ranks 14th in total defense, but still holding opponents to a respectable 349.8 yards per game (42nd).

SMU will find it difficult to get separation and Navy should be able to shorten the game with long drives running the football. This is too big of a number to cover for the Mustangs.

3* PLAY ON NAVY MIDSHIPMEN.
