Outside of the regular big time opponents, no school is feared more in a bowl game quite like Navy. Perhaps it’s not feared, it’s just simply programs don’t want to face Navy, as their option offense is not something teams regularly see and prepping for it can be difficult. Will the Kansas State Wildcats be up to the task on New Year’s Eve when the two teams meet in the Liberty Bowl?
One of the reasons why Navy is difficult in bowl games is some programs opt not to prepare for the option offense and instead use their bowl practices to continue the development of young players during the lead up practices.
