Here is my another very strong play for Saturday. This is another match-up where Bobby Petrino's Staff simply does not have enough prep time to get ready for a rushing attack that Navy will Present. This is the best Navy team I've seen in a long time and they are licking their chops for this match-up.
The Hilltoppers are giving up just under 200 yards rushing and they didn't even face a strong rushing attack yet. The Midshipmen have 2 weeks to prepare for this game and they now have 4 different game tapes to view (WKY 2-2). On the other side not only is Petrino facing an offense he barely ever sees but they only have 2 tapes to study (Navy 2-0).
Navy will go for 400+ yards on the ground in this one. That will frustrate Western Kentucky by keeping their offense off the field. Petrino will scheme ways to score but not enough. Especially if they turn the ball over (Doughty already thrown 8 picks!) and send that tired defense back out there time and time again. Leaving the Discipline Midshipmen with short fields.
This is a very strong play for Saturday Afternoon, as Navy will take the crowd of the game early.
