There are road games and then there are road games. Consider the mission Navy undertakes in the opener, traveling to Dublin, Ireland to play Notre Dame, a team that defeated the Midshipmen, 56-14, in 2011. The Middies' second game is a trip to Penn State, then the team settles in for two home games before the Oct. 6 matchup at Air Force. But don't forget the biggest game of them all, the regular-season finale against Army at Philadelphia. By season's end, Navy will be one of college football's most-traveled teams.
Navy has an active YouTube channel. After the jump are two trailers released by the team, plus a video titled "The Journey," which offers an inside look at what it's like to be part of the program.

Navy's feat — at least eight victories in each of the past eight seasons and, as the poster proclaims, eight consecutive bowl games — puts the program in elite company. Only eight other teams — Virginia Tech, Boise State, Oklahoma, Louisiana State, Ohio State, West Virginia, USC and Texas Tech — can claim at least eight wins the past eight seasons.
