The Navy Midshipmen get their chance to join some of the best teams in program history as they prepare to face the Oklahoma Sooners in the Armed Forces Bowl.

OU’s Armed Forces Bowl matchup with Navy is one of the more intriguing showdowns of bowl season. It is Navy’s first bowl against an SEC opponent since the 1950s and a matchup of the Midshipmen’s triple option against the program where the option flourished for decades.

Navy head into their first bowl game in five years and looking to make history. Brian Newberry’s team face Oklahoma (6-6).
