Despite Army's American title, we don't see much separating these two oldest of rivals. The Mids upgraded significantly this season, too, adding Wing-T elements to the offense as imported by first-year OC Drew Cronic, who arrived from A-AA Mercer (where he was head coach). Now-healthy Navy QB Blake Horvath was posting big numbers all season and making nearly as many plays as ballyhooed West Point counterpart Bryson Daily. Navy's recent win (sans Horvath) over a hot East Carolina also impressed. Upsets have been commonplace in this rivalry throughout the decades and an expected fanatical effort from Annapolis, finally playing one of these vs. Army closer to home (in Landover at the Commanders' stadium this week) might be another plus.
