Navy obviously wants to control the clock, and they have done so in 4 of their 5 games. I think it is critical for the SMU offense to sustain long drives to a) keep Navy's offense off the field 2) keeping our D fresh, so we avoid last year's collapse from happening again. TOP does not dictate who will win the game, as teams can strike quickly (see Oregon), but I wanted to see what people thought would be the TOP for each time tomorrow.
My guess: Navy 32, SMU 28. We are going to use Line and short passes to lengthen drives and test Navy's D. Hopefully, it ends up helping us, and we win!
