OU will face Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl. Here are five things to know about the matchup, including the Oklahoma ties from Navy's head coach.

OU has had three historically awful offenses; lucky Navy gets to play against the 1965 Sooners and now gets to do the same against the 2024 unit.

Navy’s passing game was similarly dysfunctional, as Horvath overthrew four receivers who were wide open behind the OU secondary.

Navy gets to opposing quarterbacks 2.1 times per game on average, and the Midshipmen front should be a group that OU’s offensive line can handle to help Hawkins out Friday morning.

Oklahoma takes on Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl, which pits a top-tier program against a service academy.

Following a missed 52-yard field goal attempt by OU with 12:06 left in the game, Navy took 7:32 to drive 66 yards in 12 plays to take a 21-14 lead on a 6-yard rush by Horvath.
