Navy football’s last two games have been decided by just three points and 20-something yards.
“It’s kind of crazy,” admitted Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo. “I feel like we could be 4-0 but we very easily could be 0-4. It’s kind of who we are though. Since I’ve been head coach, we’ve had more one-possession wins than any team in the country. Our games are just kind of like that.”
Aside from the 31-13 loss to Memphis in Week 2, the Midshipmen have either won or lost every other game by one score. Niumatalolo sees this not as a negative, but as a testament to his players characters.
