Challenges for Navy
This is a game that on paper Navy should dominate easily. The only concern here is over confidence. It’s also possible SMU is actually better than their record indicates. The Mustangs have played three pretty good teams so far. North Texas destroyed Arkansas on Saturday. Navy should take this game seriously.
Saturday’s game kicks off at Noon ET and can be seen on ESPNEWS.
