Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall, left, and Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo will face each other when the Cavaliers and Midshipmen play in the Military Bowl on Thursday.

I think something they both have in common is they both believe in discipline and playing with a lot of effort. They’ll always take the guy who will execute and be a team player over the ones who do not.

PROVO — They believe in peace, love, service to fellow men and undying faith, yet are employed to coach a game laced with violence and physical domination in what really amounts to an organized fight.
