The 124th gridiron clash between Army and Navy<\/a> takes place Saturday at Gillette Stadium near Boston, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the U.S. Military Academy at West Point<\/a> prevails, the cadets will seize the Commander-in-Chief\u2019s Trophy outright and notch a 6-6 season thanks to a late-in-the-year winning streak sparked by their shock 23-3 victory over a nationally ranked Air Force squad on Nov. 4. If the U.S. Naval Academy<\/a> midshipmen win, their 6-6 mark under new head coach Brian Newberry would be a form of redemption for the team\u2019s seniors, who risk becoming the first cohort of Navy football players to endure four consecutive losing seasons since 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military Times picked six key people whose decisions and performances will likely play a critical role in the game\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Army offensive coordinator Drew Thatcher<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This year was supposed<\/i> to mark the demise of Army West Point\u2019s signature triple option offense<\/a>, thanks to NCAA rule changes that outlawed its customary perimeter and downfield chop blocks, which strike defenders below the waist. Replacing the under-center option was the shotgun-based spread option offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Thatcher\u2019s offense remained run-first throughout the early portion of the season, it marked a huge cultural shift for a football program that once rated a 2017 Washington Post article about how it \u201calmost never passes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that changed Nov. 18, when the Black Knights hosted a 7-4 Coastal Carolina team in its most recent game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Army\u2019s erstwhile under-center option returned with a vengeance that day \u2014 Army piled up some 365 rushing yards against an unprepared Coastal Carolina squad. The cadets barely bothered with the air, only attempting two passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some ways, Thatcher has already impacted Saturday\u2019s game \u2014 the Midshipmen had to prepare for both the spread option and traditional under-center flexbone option, rather than focusing on defending only one scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navy defensive coordinator P.J. Volker told reporters Nov. 30 that he\u2019s preparing the Mids\u2019 defense for just \u201cabout anything\u201d as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll see how the Black Knights line up on their first possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 & 3. Navy inside linebackers Will Harbour and Colin Ramos<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Middle linebackers are traditionally considered the brains \u2014 and soul \u2014 of a defensive front, and Navy has two game changers in senior Will Harbour (also a team captain) and junior Colin Ramos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The midshipmen, both of whom received All-American Athletic Conference honors<\/a> this week, have combined for 170 tackles and 15.5 tackles this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should Army West Point try to throw Navy off by using multiple offensive schemes, Harbour and Ramos will play a critical role in coordinating the defense\u2019s response \u2014 and in ensuring their teammates remained disciplined in their assignments against the triple option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Army quarterback Bryson Daily<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It may be clich\u00e9 to include the quarterback in a \u201cplayers to watch\u201d list, but Army\u2019s junior quarterback from Texas has been a steady and reliable performer for most of the year, save for Army\u2019s 62-0 loss to LSU, which Daily missed with an injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being the key decision maker in any option offense (whether in the shotgun or in the traditional flexbone), Daily has shown the ability to take over key games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Black Knights traveled to Denver to battle Air Force on Nov. 4, Daily logged a career-high in rushing attempts (36) and yards (170) as his two touchdowns and a smattering of field goals proved the difference against the Falcons. Will he put together a similar performance on Saturday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Navy slotback Eli Heidenreich<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In his sophomore season, Heidenreich has quietly become one of the Navy offense\u2019s most potent threats. He leads the team with 326 receiving yards, which he\u2019s amassed on a mere 15 catches \u2014 make no mistakes, Heidenreich is a potent home-run threat for the Navy offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heidenreich\u2019s explosiveness can change a game on a dime. His 69-yard touchdown catch on a seam route against Charlotte on Oct. 14 broke a nearly three-quarter deadlock and catalyzed the Mids\u2019 14-0 road victory. The slotback also ripped off big plays against South Florida and Eastern Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Army\u2019s defense overcommits to stopping the run \u2014 Navy\u2019s bread-and-butter \u2014 then watch out for Heidenreich to make a potentially game-changing play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Army kicker Quinn Maretzki<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This list wouldn\u2019t be complete without discussing the player who had the biggest impact on 2022\u2032s Army-Navy matchup. Last year, Maretzki nailed a 37-yard field goal to send the rivalry into overtime for the first time ever, and then the Hawaii native slid a 39-yarder inside the right upright to win the game in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s remained reliable this year in his senior season, making 11 of his 13 field goal attempts and all of his extra points. His career long kick came in September against UT-San Antonio, when he made a 45-yard field goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
