Navy football made a successful debut as a member of the American Athletic Conference, routing East Carolina, 45-21, on Saturday in Annapolis.
Now the next milestone for the Midshipmen to check off their list is to earn a road victory over a conference opponent.
The first opportunity comes this Saturday when Navy travels to Hartford to take on Connecticut at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field.
The Midshipmen are seeking to start a season 3-0 for the first time during the eight-year tenure of head coach Ken Niumatalolo and the first time since 2006. Meanwhile, the Huskies are looking to knock off a service academy for the second time in the span of three weeks, having handed Army a 22-17 defeat on Sept.
