Navy and Tulsa will meet for the sixth time in series history and for the fourth time as American Athletic Conference foes as they square off on Saturday afternoon at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium (34,000).
Navy leads the overall series 4-1, and has won the last three meetings, all of which came as AAC West rivals.
Coach Niumatalolo is 3-0 vs Tulsa; Coach Montgomery is 0-3 vs Navy.
Saturday is Senior Day for the Midshipmen. Navy has won 15 consecutive games on Senior Day. Navy’s last loss on Senior Day came in 2002, when the Mids lost a 38-0 decision to Connecticut.
Navy has lost seven consecutive games for the first time since 2002. Of those seven teams, five are already bowl eligible and the other two still have a chance to become bowl eligible. Notre Dame, Cincinnati and UCF are all ranked in the top 20. Notre Dame and UCF are two of four remaining undefeated teams in the FBS.
The Mids have dropped two straight at home (Temple and Houston) for the first time since 2014 (Rutgers and Western Kentucky). Navy has not lost three in a row at home since 2011 (Air Force, Southern Miss, East Carolina) which was Navy's only losing season since 2002. The Mids are 45-13
(.776) at home under Niumatalolo, including an 18-4 (.818) record over the last four seasons.
According to Cody Kellner’s strength of schedule index, Navy has played the 18th-toughest schedule in the country and the toughest among schools not in the Big 10, ACC, Pac 12 or SEC.
