Houston will travel to Annapolis Saturday to face Navy in a battle between two of the top teams, historically, in the American Athletic Conference West Division.
Last year, Houston finished the regular season with a close win over Navy in a 24-14 victory. It was another notch in then-sophomore quarterback D’Eriq King’s belt as he closed the book on any conversation about other quarterbacks starting.
It was also a standout performance for alumnus Steven Dunbar, who now sits on the practice squad of the San Francisco 49ers.
The team finished the season 7-4 and went on to the Hawaii Bowl to face Fresno State.
