1. College Football News Preview 2020: Navy Midshipmen Win Total Prediction, What Will Happen
Navy found its groove again.
It went 3-10 in a strange disaster of a 2018 season, but the issue was easy – the running game didn’t work quite right, and that put too much stress on a defense that didn’t do its part.
