UCF vs Navy Game Preview

Why UCF Will Win

Navy can’t do enough to get its O going.

For this to work, the Midshipmen have to control everything about the game, and they can’t convert on third downs, they’re not punting well enough to own the field position battle, and worse of all, they’re not scoring when they get the chance – they’re one of the worst in the nation in red zone scoring.
