The service academies are making their mark this season, and on the latest episode of Yards and Stripes, hosts Price Atkinson and Steve Carney delve into the exciting performances of Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Black Nights And Midshipmen Continue Hot Starts
With Army and Navy both ranked in the top 25, the spotlight is on as they continue their impressive runs. Army’s recent 45-28 victory over East Carolina showcased the incredible talents of Bryson Daily, who rushed for a career-high five touchdowns and passed for a sixth. The guys break down why they believe the mainstream college football pundits aren’t considering the Army signal-caller for the same Heisman hype you see from Alabama’s Jalen Milroe or Colorado’s Shadeur Sanders. Meanwhile, Navy’s dominant 51-17 win against Charlotte featured standout performances from Blake Horvath and defensive back Deshaun Peele, who returned two interceptions for touchdowns. The Midshipmen have played the role of an echo, as every time Army performs a first, Navy comes back with one of their own.
Navy Prepares For Biggest Test of The Year
As Navy prepares to face Notre Dame this week at Metlife Stadium, the stakes are higher than ever. This game is not just a test of skill but a chance for Navy to prove themselves on a national stage. A win against Notre Dame could propel the Midshipmen into serious consideration for the College Football Playoff, a prospect that has fans and analysts buzzing with anticipation. Price and Steve discuss the potential impact of this game and what it means for the service academies as a whole. They also look at what a loss would do to Irish head coach Marcus Freeman’s team as they also look to solidify their standing in the eyes of the playoff committee.
