Navy will face a different type of option offense on Saturday
Navy Sports Chat: UConn game outlookNavy head coach Ken Niumatalolo wasn't thrilled to see Willie Fritz hired at Tulane, and that's a big-time compliment.
Speaking at the American Athletic Conference Football Media Day in early August, Niumatalolo praised Fritz as an outstanding head coach who has won big at every stop along the way. Fritz also employs an option offense, which makes what Navy does a little less unique within the AAC.
"Coach Fritz is going to do good things at Tulane. He's in the process of establishing the culture there," Niumatalolo said Monday on the AAC weekly teleconference. "We expect a tough, hard-nosed football game."
