Comments

USF is not an impressive team. The three teams USF has beaten have only a combined 3 wins over FBS teams. Playing at home Navy should win this one fairly easily.

AcademyWars.com Prediction

Navy 35, South Florida 17

Saturday’s game kicks off at 3:30 PM ET. Watch on the CBS Sports Network.
