Record fast game time of 2 hrs 30 minutes. Navy holds the ball 40 minutes out of 60 and only scores 16 pts (1 TD, 3 FGs). TU only has 5 possessions in the game so they will need to score at least in 60% of them to win.

If that happens then we can put this one in the loss column.

Navy scores on either a kick-off or punt return or maybe both....

TU has over 100 yards of penalties as they are out of sync after last weeks game against BYE....

I love me some Middies and want them to win all of their games............except one! And over the years when I've expected us to thump the "calamaries", I've been disappointed & humiliated, bragging too much about a certain TU victory. 33-0 comes to mind.

Thus, I can only hope that we can get a one point victory, that I don't have to salute all the Navy & Marine Corps brass that show up for the game and Navy beats Army.

BTW, I prefer my "squid" fresh, flash fried, with a mildly spicy tarter-like sauce and washed down with an ice cold Stella.

We told my daughter that the fried calamari appetizer we ordered were "island fries" (we were in Hawaii) and she loved them. We still have not told her what they actually are.

I wonder if the usual busload of Wichita fans will still make the trip to root for Navy.
Do they have an inland naval port we’re not aware of, or are they just confused?

Also, hasn’t Oklahoma built that wall yet to keep the Kansas folks out? 🤣

They don’t have their own lousy football team any more so the adopted the Navy when they joined the conference.

There’s been a busload or two from Wichita attend whenever Navy visits. I know one local Wichita grad that also participates and had confirmed that this is a thing for them.

OT but I believe Tulsa beat WSU in their last football game. Also believe we beat Drake in theirs the year before or after. Drake brought football back later but at a lower level.

We have the defensive talent to stop their offense but our offense can’t have 3 TOs like they did vs USF and win. There won't be enough drives.

That being said, I think we have enough size and speed on defense to get us a W.

TU - 24
Navy - 21 (2 missed FGs)

A quick search shows Wichita's last football game was a loss to Arizona State.

Fun fact: WSU's last football win was against UCF in October of 1986.
From Wikipedia: "The Knights nearly earned their first-ever victory against a Division I-A team. On October 11, they fell 9-6 at Wichita State, on a miserable, soggy, afternoon after missing an extra point and two botched field goal attempts. It proved to be the Shockers' final football victory; less than two months after the game, Wichita State announced it was disbanding its program."

end of game TU 24. navy 28

Wishful thinking on the final point of your post. Not real enthused that we would need the second to happen for him to be shown the door.

Tulsa 31 Navy 17

I’m pulling for a 14 point spread because if this is a close game, Navy’s coaching ( I.e. game management, team discipline) will give them a big advantage.

Golden Hurricane, indeed.

Unfortunately my score prediction was wrong, but my close game going Navy’s way was right.
