College football coaches will be quick to tell you every game on the calendar matters and that they treat every week like Week One.
“These guys have been through some relatively dark times of Navy Football,” admitted head coach Brian Newberry. “They’ve been through a head coach getting fired, they’ve been through losing seasons, COVID-19, all those things. But they are a great example of what happens when you stick with it, when you fight through adversity and keep working.”
Or, guys like punter Riley Riethman, who leads the AAC and ranks fifth nationally with his 46-yard average this year. His career punting average of 44.4 yards per punt ranks as the best in school history. Riethman was integral in pinning opposing offenses back and forcing them to work their way tediously downfield against the tireless Navy defense.
The Midshipmen started the season 6-0 before falling to top-ranked Notre Dame and then traded wins and losses before heading into this bout with Army a steady 8-3. Navy leads the all-time series with Army 62-55-7, including a 1-0 record in the only game previously played in Northwest Stadium. Does this game define Army and Navy’s seasons respectively? It’s complicated. You likely have never seen true intensity on a football field unless you have been to an Army-Navy game. It’s a "win or die trying" kind of game. Both teams have had successful seasons but if you lose this one, it’s a definitively long offseason.
