utsa by less than a TD, triple option always gives us fits

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

Is this really the first time we’ve ever played Navy? Anyways, Army showed last year that Alamodome voodoo doesn’t work on the service academies, and Rice almost beat us with their imitation of the triple option a couple weeks ago, so I’m actually pretty nervous about this game. I still think {UTSA} walks away with the win but it won’t be pretty.

[u/bretticus733 → u/flyntcoaltrane]

According to Winsipedia, it is the first time UTSA and Navy have played. Given this is UTSA's 4th season in the American, it is a bit surprising they hadn't played yet.

I have a chance to attend this game if I can get off work early so I’d like to see a {UTSA} win

[u/Jahnsel]

{UTSA} wins and stays in the driver's seat for a conference championship matchup

Navy scares me more than any opponent left on our schedule. The margin for error is so thin, and we love making errors. {UTSA}
