Navy, looking to end a two-game losing streak, will face North Texas, who are coming off back-to-back wins. Navy’s strong rushing attack, which ranks fifth nationally, will try to exploit North Texas’ defense, which is the worst in the FBS against the run, allowing 241.3 yards per game.

Both San Jose State and Boise State will be looking to improve their records in this game, as they currently have a losing record.

San Jose State will look to take advantage of this and pull off an upset.
