Why Navy Will Win
The wins might not be there, but the team hasn’t been all that miserable. The running game is okay even if it’s not its dominant self, there aren’t any mistakes – the penalties and turnovers have been kept to a minimum – and there’s a chance it all comes together in a special performance.

The UCF offense will control the game better.
