Navy Midshipmen will battle the Army Black Knights in the annual Army-Navy game at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday.
The 109th annual matchup between the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, NY and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, the nation's oldest service academies, has been lopsided over the last couple of years. Navy became the first team in the series to win six straight after last year's 38-3 victory in Baltimore.
The Midshipmen (7-4) are 52-49-7 against Army (3-8), their biggest lead in a series that began in 1890. The two teams will battle for the esteemed Commander-in-Chief trophy, which is awarded to the game's winner.
The game will be the last time that President George W. Bush will be in attendance at the game as a sitting president as President-elect Barack Obama begins to take office.
Navy has the nation's top rushing offense (292 yards per game). Their duo of running backs Shun White and Eric Kettani have rushed for 1680 yards on 258 carries.
Army is ranked ninth in rushing offense and are led by Colin Mooney. Mooney has rushed for 1,285 yards on 214 carries and is closing in on the 1,338 yards rushing set by Mike Mayweather in 1990.
Army began the season on a four-game losing streak and is currently on a three-game losing streak.
