Navy football is back on the field to prepare for South Florida after coronavirus postponed last two games

After months of avoiding any coronavirus issues, the virus found its way to the program and the rest of the Naval Academy and eventually forced the postponement of the Midshipmen’s scheduled home games against Tulsa on Nov. 7 and Memphis on Nov. 14.

Navy first found out on Nov. 3 that two players tested positive during rounds of tests the day before. Still, the coaching staff crafted a game plan for Tulsa and began mental preparation with the players for several days before that contest was officially postponed on Nov. 5.

Once again, the coaching staff performed its due diligence to get Navy ready for Memphis early last week even though the players were still unable to practice.
