Navy’s offense sputtered last season, averaging 177.6 yards rushing, the team’s lowest output since 1994. The Midshipmen finished 52nd in the country in that category — after finishing in the top six in each of Ken Niumatalolo’s first dozen seasons as coach. It was no surprise, then, that Navy floundered to a 3-7 record, only its third losing season in 18 years. Niumatalolo has made it clear he expects Navy to bounce back strong in 2021.
