In the Army – Navy game, you can often throw everything from the seasons out the window. These teams know each other too well and the play style is very similar. Defense and run the ball. Army is the 10th best rushing offense in the country, and Navy is 14th in rushing. What we do know is the underdog has outright won 4 of the last 7 meetings between Army and Navy.
