On Saturday, Army and Navy meet for the 120th time since the service academies first squared off in 1890. This proud tradition honors the young men and women who risk everything to serve their country. What makes this game stand out isn’t just the student-athletes that compete, but the way these programs play. Navy and Army are ranked first and second in the nation in rushing yards using college football’s most unique offense: the triple option. While Navy and its dual-threat quarterback Malcolm Perry seek its 10th win and revenge on its West Point adversaries, Army looks for a climactic ending to what’s been a disappointing season. However, Army will retain the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy for the third-straight year with a win. SI’s Robin Lundberg breaks down the matchup.
