***Official Navy at Tulane Game Thread*** - oliveandblue - 09-18-2020 03:53 PM
Start time is at 12 noon.
TV: ABC
Line: Tulane -7 (varies from -6.5 to -7.5)
All time series record is 12-1-11 in favor of Tulane. It's a very even series.
I am interested to see what Navy team shows up on Saturday. I have a feeling they will play really well out of the gate - if they drop this then the wheels are going to fall off the bus.
I am also curious if Howard cleans up his intermediate passing from last week. For 3 quarters, he was missing open guys downfield.

I have NO idea what Navy team shows up today.
I want to feel encouraged by what the HC and Coordinators have been saying about practice since the Labor Day Debacle, but who knows. We don't even know who will start at QB. Tulane's D may not have the overall tonnage of BYU, but they looked pretty good to me in the second half of the USA game.
A couple quick cuts from the Game Notes put out by Navy's SID:

I also saw a late add of a Honolulu station, and the ABC coverage will be carried worldwide on the American Forces Network.
SETTING THE STAGE
• Navy and Tulane will meet for the 25th time in series history and for the sixth time since Navy joined the American Athletic Conference in 2015 when they square off on Saturday morning (11:00 am local time, 12 noon ET) at Yulman Stadium (30,000).
• Per current rules in the city of New Orleans, there will be no fans at Saturday’s game.
• Tulane leads the all-time series against Navy, 12-11-1, however the Mids lead the series since joining the American Athletic Conference, 4-1. The average margin of victory for the winning team in the five AAC games is six points and over the last three years, the games have been decided by a total of six points.
• In 2017, Navy beat Tulane in Annapolis 23-21; in 2018, Tulane beat Navy in New Orleans 29-28 on a two-point conversion in the final seconds; last year, Navy defeated Tulane 41-38 on a 48-yard field goal by Bijan Nichols as time expired. Navy owned a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter and held a 31-14 advantage at the half before Tulane roared back to tie the game with 1:01 left on a 1-yard touchdown run by quarterback Justin McMillan. Nichols’ field goal capped a 7-play drive in 61 seconds for the Mids.
• The home team has dominated the series. Tulane is 9-2-1 against Navy in New Orleans, while the Mids are 9-1 against Tulane in Annapolis.
• Navy has not started a season 0-2 since 2012 when it lost to Notre Dame in Ireland and at Penn State. That team started 1-3 and was trailing Air Force in the fourth quarter before freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds came off the bench to lead Navy to an overtime win. Reynolds started the next week at Central Michigan and the rest is history as the Mids would go on to post a 34-13 record over the next four years, win three Commander-In-Chief’s trophies, earn three bowl victories and capture a share of the AAC West Division title in 2015 (Navy’s first year in the league).

Navy has three players from Louisiana: freshman nose guard Donald Berniard Jr. (Baton Rouge), freshman guard Ahmad Bradley (Harvey) and senior fullback Nelson Smith (Baton Rouge).

I hope Navy is improved from the BYU game.
But for the sake of the conference reputation I’m rooting for a Tulane win.

Yikes.
RE: ***Official Navy at Tulane Game Thread*** - ArmoredUpKnight - 09-19-2020 12:19 PM
Oh wow, just clicked over from the Tulsa game. Tulane blowout over Navy so far.
Ken is going to be on the hot seat if he gets blown out in every game.
