Navy will begin defense of the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy when it meets Air Force on Saturday afternoon in Colorado Springs. And for the first time in series history, both the Midshipmen and Falcons are undefeated going into the service academy showdown.
Navy is coming off a bye week after beating Tulane on Sept. 17 to improve to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the American Athletic Conference. Air Force moved to 3-0 on Saturday night when it used a strip sack and fumble recovery to set up the decisive touchdown late in the fourth quarter in a 27-20 defeat of Utah State.
