(NCAAF) Army vs. Navy,
Point Spread: 6.00 | -110.00 Army (Away)
Result: Win
Point Spread: 6.00 | -110.00 Army (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: Army and Navy meet for the 117th time on Saturday, with this year's contest being played at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Navy beat Army 21-17 last year at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, as the Midshipmen made it 14 straight wins over the Black Knights (Army last won back in 2001). Navy now leads the series 60–49–7.
Navy: Tago Smith was the Navy's starting QB to open the year but was lost in its first game. Will Worth stepped in to rush for 1,181 yards and 25 TDs. He led Navy into last Saturday's AAC championship game against vs. Temple but both Worth and senior RB Toneo Gulley (427 yards) suffered season-ending foot injuries in the 34-10 loss to Temple. Worth rab for just 17 yards before getting hurt and Gully had just two carries for 18 yards. Sophomore Zach Abey took over and ran for 70 yards (one TD), while completing 7 of 13 for 104 yards but with two INTs. He makes his first s career start here but told reporters he's ready for the Challenge. "It is going to be a big responsibility and I will be up for it." Abey, junior fullback Chris High (483 yards, five TDs) and senior FB Shawn White (421, seven TDs) are among those who must fill the void.
Army: The Black Knights have three weeks to prepare for the Midshipmen, as they last played back on Nov. 19 in a 60-3 victory over FCS member Morgan State. Army ran for 504 yards and boast the No. 2 ground attack in the nation at 328.9 yards YPG (after rushing for just 168 yards against Temple, Navy fell to third at 327.5 YPG. Army QB Bradshaw has completed just 42.9% of his passes (4 TDs / 8 INTs) and Navy averages a woeful 80.5 YPG through the air. However, the running game ranks second (see above) and is led by sophomore RB Davidson (818 yards on 5.5 YPC with 9 TDs), Bradshaw (646 yards and six TDs) and six others gaining 200-plus yards.
The pick: Already bowl eligible at 6-5, Army also knows this could be the year to break its long drought against its chief rival. The Black Knights have had three weeks to prepare for the Midshipmen and catch Navy off last week's highly disappointing loss to Temple, as navy was playing for a conference title for the first time in the 136-year history of its program (Navy spent 134 seasons as an independent before joining the AAC last year). The Midshipmen were genuinely thinking about the Cotton Bowl last week and now a week later, will face a highly-motivated Navy group. If not now, when for Army? Take the points and make Army a 10* play.
