Navy is no secret under Ken Niumatalolo. He continues to over-achieve at Navy with discipline, execution, and lesser athletes. The option may be even better this season behind Malcolm Perry. Perry rushed for 646 yards a year ago with 7 TDs in just three starts. The sky is the limit this season. Zack Abbey, who ran for over 1400 yards a year ago as well, will see plenty of the field as well. The Navy defense may not have looked good a year ago, but they saw five of the top 30 offenses in the country, and Hawaii is not near that caliber. Hawaii has a lot of issues on both sides of the ball. While Hawaii gets a lot of looks at Air Force who runs a similar option, they are 5-12 in their last 17 in those games, allowing 409 yards per game on the ground. Make the play on Navy. Also take the UNDER. The Midshipmen closed out last season allowing just 45 total points in their final three games. Hawaii managed score even less than that in their last three games. Under Niumatalolo, Navy is 68-55 overall to the UNDER including 49-36 UNDER in non-conference matchups. Back Navy and the UNDER here.
