A look at Navy, which hosts USF on Saturday in Annapolis, Md.

Nickname: Midshipmen

Record: 5-1, 3-0 in American Athletic Conference
Wins: 48-10 vs. Colgate, 45-21 vs. East Carolina, 28-18 at Connecticut, 33-11 vs. Air Force, 31-14 vs. Tulane
Loss: 41-24 at Notre Dame

Coach: Ken Niumatalolo (eighth season, 62-36)

The breakdown: Not only do the Midshipmen run an offense (triple option) rarely seen anymore, they run it flawlessly. Navy has committed only four turnovers in seven games (tied for third-fewest in Division I-A) and its 25 penalties are the fewest among I-A programs.
