They were outscored 37-30 in the second half but still ended up winning by one. 

Navy is averaging 71.9 points while their defense is giving up 72.5 points per game. This is a team that has a good offense but their defense has had some problems and they are going to need the defense to be a whole lot better here.

Navy continues to be involved in close games, but this game is going to change that. Colgate on the road is 1-7 straight up and they are going to really struggle here. Navy’s offense has been strong this season, averaging 71.9 points per game, and they are going to have no issue running up the score here.
