The Army-Navy football game between the Midshipmen and the Black Knights is always a great American tradition and on Saturday the game will be going down again at 3 pm on CBS from Philadelphia and Army will look to snap a 12-game losing streak against Navy, who are one of the best rushing teams in the nation.
Check HERE for updates from the 2015 game.
Navy comes in as the better team at 7-4 over Army at 3-8 on the season and Navy comes into the matchup after a victory against the San Jose State Spartans despite giving up 440 yards to opposing quarterback David Fales and Keenan Reynolds has been playing well for the team this season and after playing this game, Navy has a bowl matchup with Middle Tennessee. The team comes in averaging over 300 yards per game on the season with 320 yards per contest and the team is scoring just over 34 points per game to ranked 33rd in the nation and they will need to continue doing that to stay up against Army in Philly. The team is allowing nearly 30 points per game and Reynolds has been great this season, setting records with seven scores in a game on the ground and he has over 30 total scores, including 26 rushing touchdowns and 1124 yards and this season the team is rushing the ball at a huge rate.
The Midshipmen come in having won three straight games and four of the past five, including in three overtime periods against San Jose State. The team won over Hawaii and South Alabama and they have scored over 40 points in each of the last three games and that should be the focus for the Army defense. The season started off well with a 3-1 record, but after losing on the road to Duke and Toledo, the team rebounded with a win against Pitt before losing to Notre Dame and now the team has won the last three games before playing against Army and then the team will play against Mid Tenn in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl and the team should continue rushing the ball against Army.
Army has lost four straight games and five of the last six with a win against Eastern Michigan coming in there and the team now has the chance to get another win against their rivals after losing the last 12.
