Army vs. Navy Set-Up<br />

The Black Knights started 3-1 this season, with a near-upset of Michigan in Ann Arbor, but then lost five games in a row. Army then won two straight but lost last time out 52-31 out at Hawaii. The Knights then had last week off.

Army only trailed the Rainbow Warriors 38-31 through three quarters but came up empty from there and failed to cover as a three-point underdog.
</p>
<p>
The Cadets lost starting quarterback Kelvin Hopkins, Jr. to a leg injury in the second quarter of that game but still managed to pile up 538 yards of total offense, including 411 on the ground, even with their third- and fourth-stringers taking snaps. Unfortunately, the Army defense gave up 492 yards of Hawaii offense.
</p>
<p>
Hopkins, who leads the team in rushing this season with 706 yards, is expected to start Saturday.

The Midshipmen, meanwhile, are 2-0 both SU and ATS since taking that loss at Notre Dame last month. Navy followed that up with a 35-28 win over SMU, covering at -3.5, then won at Houston 56-41, covering at -9. The Mids then also had last week off.
</p>

Navy spotted the Cougars the first seven points of the game two weeks ago but scored touchdowns on its first three possessions. The Midshipmen finally built a two-score lead early in the fourth quarter and held on from there.
</p>
<p>
Navy ran the ball for 447 yards against Houston, the sixth time in its last seven games it hit the 300-yard mark on the ground.
</p>
<p>
The Mids finished 7-1 in the AAC this season but missed out on the conference championship game because of a loss earlier this season to Memphis, which went on to win the AAC title contest.
</p>
<p>
At 9-2 overall Navy is headed for the Liberty Bowl, where it will meet a rejuvenated Kansas State.
