Don’t expect more than a handful of pass attempts in this game as both offenses remain old-school triple-option attacks (so does Air Force). Now that Georgia Tech has shifted to a spread offense, no Power 5 school runs that type of offense any longer, for example.

Navy ranks No. 1 in the nation in rushing yards per game at 360.8 and Army is second at 311.7. They are the only schools averaging at least 300. Army averages just 86.8 passing yards per game and has attempted a total of 120 throws all year. Navy averages 103.5 passing yards per game and has attempted all of 94 passes. That’s two games for some high-powered offenses around the country.
