However, it\u2019s not his passing game that fans are raving about\u2014although he has completed eight touchdown passes to just one interception. His running game is what has propelled Navy to success this year.<\/p>\n
The Midshipmen pass the ball for just 108.6 yards per contest. That\u2019s only good enough for 121st in the country, but their running game has been outstanding. They average 285.5 yards per game on the ground, which is good enough for sixth in the nation.<\/p>\n
Navy hasn\u2019t been scoring the ball the way they\u2019d like to, as they\u2019ve only averaged 25.5 points per game, but their defense has helped make up the difference. They are ranked 36th in the country in points allowed, as they\u2019ve given up just 23.5 points per game. Their rushing defense hasn\u2019t been their strong point, but if they can outrun their opponent this week, they should find this game in their grasps late in the contest.<\/p>\n
Army Black Knights<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Army Black Knights may have just two wins on the entire 2012 season, but they have one thing that nobody can take away from them\u2014they are the No. 1 rushing team in the entire country.<\/p>\n
Army has rushed the ball 369.8 yards per game this season, which is the best number put up by any team in college football. Senior quarterback Trent Steelman has been as ineffective as it gets as a passer, as evident by the team\u2019s 124th-ranked passing offense; but his running game has been fun to watch. He has 16 touchdowns and 1,152 yards on 224 carriers. This team is as one-dimensional as it gets in their offensive attack, but their running game is undeniable. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for the Black Knights, those rushing yards haven\u2019t translated into points nearly as often as they\u2019d like. The team is putting up just 25.3 points per game this year, which is only good enough for 85th in the nation. This wouldn\u2019t be so bad if their defense had stepped up, but they\u2019re allowing 37 points per game, which is 112th in the country. They are just 122nd in defending the run, which is going to be a problem against the ground game of the Midshipmen.<\/p>\n
Navy has dominated this battle in recent memory, and quite frankly, there\u2019s no reason to believe they won\u2019t do the same this time around. Their offensive game is on the same level as Army\u2019s, and their defense is far superior. Don\u2019t expect a high-scoring game in this one, but don\u2019t be surprised if the Midshipmen pull ahead to keep their double-digit win streak against their rival alive.<\/p>\n
