"Golden Hour"- Navy
"Game 2: 1% Every Day" - Memphis
Memphis had a poor game on both offense and defense, which was reflected in the 23-49 score. Seth Henigan was less than satisfactory, completing 19 out of 30 attempts. He recorded 135 passing yards and a touchdown (at a completion percentage of 63.3 and averaging 5.5 yards per attempt). He would like to improve on that in this game too. On defense, Jaylon Allen worked hard alongside Quindell Johnson. Allen made five solo tackles and seven assisted tackles, while Johnson recorded two solo tackles and seven assisted tackles. The issue is that they shipped 49 points. The entire unit will have to play a lot better in the upcoming matchup.

Navy Midshipmen vs. Memphis Tigers best picks
The Navy will expect Tai Lavatai to improve in the passing game. He had a poor first game and will look to do a lot more in this matchup. Luckily for him, he is playing against a defense that has shown it can concede a lot of points.
Memphis will need their defense to step up if they want to win this game.The role of Jaylin Allen and Greg Rubin becomes more important.
Navy Midshipmen vs. Memphis Tigers prediction
The game will be something of a litmus test for both teams. Both will look to keep it tight at the back and attack as much as they can. Memphis is stronger when it comes to offense and will look to exploit any weaknesses in the Navy defense. After fumbling the ball multiple times in their last match, the Navy will doubtless be looking for greater ball security.
The consensus is that Memphis are the stronger side and this will show down the stretch.
Prediction: Memphis will win
