The Virginia Cavaliers got absolutely molly-whomped by the Navy Midshipmen in the 2017 Military Bowl, posting only 163 yards of offense en route to a 49-7 loss.

There haven’t been many games recently where Virginia holds even a putative edge in talent and size in the trenches. This was supposed to be one of those games. Just three players on the entire Navy roster weigh more than 300 pounds. Of the 26 defensive linemen for Navy, only five were rated as three-stars in the 247 Composite.
