Air Force (1-0) vs Navy (0-1) Game Preview

Why Air Force Will Win

The Navy running game worked against Marshall and it didn’t matter.

It didn’t matter in the 49-7 loss because the D couldn’t hold down Grant Wells from bombing away and didn’t hold firm in the red zone when it was getting hit for six touchdown runs.

What’s Going To Happen

Navy still needs more work defensively.

Air Force will be a little crisper and a little more effective through the air the five-or-so times that Daniels will try stretching the field. Navy will go on the long marches and it’ll control the clock, but the Falcons will do the scoring at the end of their drives.

The home team has won the last eight times, but …
