ANNAPOLIS, Md. (Interstat) — Tulsa will try to snap a two-game losing streak when it visits Navy in an NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision game Saturday at Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

Tulsa enters 3-2 after a 45-44 loss to North Texas. The Golden Hurricane also fell at Arkansas 34-6 after opening with wins over Oklahoma State, Sam Houston and Texas A&M-Commerce. Quarterback Baylor Hayes is the player to watch. In the North Texas loss, Hayes passed for 211 yards and added 14 rushing yards while producing multiple touchdowns. Running back Damari Alston rushed for 79 yards and caught four passes for 22 yards with a score. Trequan Jones added 25 rushing yards and returned two kickoffs for 41 yards.

Navy is 1-3 and comes off a 14-9 loss at Air Force. The Midshipmen beat Towson 42-15 before losses at Florida Atlantic and UAB. Quarterback Jackson Gutierrez guides the offense. Against Air Force, Gutierrez passed for 140 yards and rushed for 33 yards with a touchdown. In the UAB loss, he passed for 104 yards and rushed for 134 yards with another score. Braxton Woodson and Michael Barrow also contributed in the Air Force game, with Barrow rushing for 44 yards and catching one pass for 4 yards.

Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium will host the matchup. The weather forecast at game time is 74 degrees. Navy returns home for the first time since its opening win over Towson. Tulsa will look to get its offense moving behind Hayes and a running game that showed balance against North Texas. Navy will lean on Gutierrez and a rushing attack that has produced explosive efforts from its quarterback. The Midshipmen will need to limit turnovers and sustain drives against a Tulsa defense that has had mixed results. The Golden Hurricane will need to protect Hayes and finish scoring chances after a one-point loss last time out. Tulsa has allowed 45 points in its most recent game and 34 at Arkansas. Navy has allowed 38 points at Florida Atlantic and 24 at UAB.

Tulsa’s upcoming schedule includes a trip to Rice, a home game against Army, visits to Tulane and Texas-San Antonio, and home dates with Florida Atlantic and Charlotte. Navy will visit Texas-San Antonio before home games against North Texas, Notre Dame, Temple and Memphis, plus a trip to Charlotte and the annual game against Army.
