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.
Air Force had a much easier game against Lafayette to open up the season, but it was exactly the type of tune-up it needed. The O put up 28 first half points, QB Haaziq Daniels was terrific at operating the attack, and the run defense swarmed behind the line stuffed everything the Leopards tried to do.
Again, Navy’s O worked. It owned the clock for over 41 minutes, the D came up with three takeaways, and it didn’t matter.

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 …
