Injury Report
Navy carries the major injury concern. Quarterback Braxton Woodson is dealing with an ankle injury after leaving the Florida Atlantic loss and is listed out, while Landon Walker, Jeremiah Chalmers, and Merrick Barlow are questionable with undisclosed issues. UAB's current matchup report lists no injuries, giving the Blazers the healthier profile entering Friday.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
Navy's ground game is the clearest structural edge. The Midshipmen average 376 rushing yards and 6.9 yards per carry, while UAB is allowing 192 rushing yards per game and just gave up 225 at Louisiana. If Navy stays on schedule with the option, it can control possession and protect whichever quarterback takes the snaps.
3 Things to Watch
- Woodson's ankle and quarterback rotation
- UAB's edge discipline against the option
- Navy's vulnerable downfield pass defense
Betting Breakdown
Navy enters Friday as an 11.5-point road favorite, and the matchup explains why: the Midshipmen are averaging 376 rushing yards per game at 6.9 per carry, while UAB has allowed 192 rushing yards per game and surrendered 225 at Louisiana. That ground mismatch is the foundation of the spread, but Navy's quarterback situation adds real variance. Braxton Woodson injured his ankle at Florida Atlantic, and Jackson Gutierrez responded with 175 total yards and three touchdowns in relief. UAB is coming off a damaging 21-14 loss in which its offense managed only 218 total yards and 74 on the ground, although the Blazers are 1-0 at Protective Stadium. The counterargument to laying double digits is Navy's 0-2 ATS start and a secondary that allowed 386 passing yards and five touchdowns at FAU. UAB needs Ryder Burton to attack that weakness and force Navy away from a slow, possession-heavy script. The current 54.5 total leaves room for scoring if either side creates explosives.
Navy Betting Outlook
Navy is 1-1 straight up but 0-2 ATS, a reminder that its rushing dominance has not translated cleanly to market value. The Midshipmen ran for 506 yards against Towson and 246 at Florida Atlantic, and they still average 376 per game. Woodson's ankle injury shifts attention to Gutierrez, who produced 100 passing yards, 75 rushing yards, and three total touchdowns in relief at FAU. The offense should still stress UAB's front with option volume and quarterback carries. The bigger betting concern is pass defense: Navy allowed 386 passing yards and five touchdowns in its loss, creating a path for UAB if Burton can stay efficient.
UAB Betting Outlook
UAB is 1-2 and 1-2 ATS after a 21-14 road loss to Louisiana that exposed its rushing consistency. The Blazers finished with only 218 total yards and 74 on the ground after producing 266 rushing yards against ULM one week earlier. Home field matters because UAB is 1-0 at Protective Stadium, but it failed to cover 9.5 points in that win. Ryder Burton now faces a Navy defense that was torched through the air by Florida Atlantic, so UAB's best counter is likely early-down passing rather than trying to match Navy's run volume. Defensively, assignment discipline against the option is the central challenge.
