The emotions and energy Navy puts into its annual game against Air Force typically takes a lot out of the Midshipmen for their next game. A year ago, after a controversial overtime loss to the Falcons in Annapolis, Navy was throttled the next week at home by Southern Mississippi, losing by 28 points. Beating its bitter rival, as Navy did last week in Colorado Springs, can also cause what Niumatalolo calls "being on Cloud 9" to linger. It happened in Niumatalolo's first season as head coach five years ago when the Midshipmen lost at home to Pittsburgh two weeks after a six-point win at Falcon Stadium.

Ricky Dobbs holds a special place in the recent history of Navy football. In the two seasons he started at quarterback, he led the Midshipmen in rushing and put up more than respectable numbers passing. He led the team to 10- and nine-win seasons. He helped Navy twice beat Notre Dame, as well as Missouri in a bowl game. He nearly beat Ohio State at "The Horseshoe. " As a result, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo and offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper have been hesitant to compare any of their team's quarterbacks since to Dobbs.

Navy quarterback Trey Miller was held out of practice Monday after sustaining an ankle injury in Saturday's 28-21 overtime win at Air Force. With his left foot in a boot, Miller watched as freshman Keenan Reynolds ran most of the drills in preparation of Friday's game at Central Michigan. Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said before practice in Annapolis that the protection on Miller's foot was "a precaution" and he wouldn't know until seeing how the junior responds to treatment whether he will play this week.
