Before the season[]

Previous season[]

The Navy Midshipmen began the 2016 season with three straight wins, but lost to military rival Air Force. However, the Midshipmen had victories over fellow American Conference teams #6 ranked Houston and Memphis. After beating long-time rival Notre Dame, winning the Rip Miller Trophy, the Midshipmen went on a three game winning streak. However, Navy ended their season with a loss over military rival Army in the 117th Army–Navy Game, ending Navy's 14th consecutive victories over Army. The Midshipmen finished the regular season with a 9–4 record. Despite this slide, it earned them an invitation to the Armed Force Bowl, their 13th bowl game in a row, but they lost to the 8–5 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs 45–48.
