Challenges for Navy
Navy’s 2018 football season seems to be spiraling out of control. It’s seems like an eternity since Navy beat Army. Some are now questioning the move to join the American Conference, ala what Army endured with the CUSA. The Navy football team and staff needs to just avoid all the noise and focus on getting better. Cincinnati is another very tough opponent for Navy. Just take each game six seconds at a time and give your best.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 3:30 pm ET and can be seen on the CBS Sports Network.
