Navy hosts Tulsa on Saturday, Oct. 10 at 3:30 p.m. ET at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, with CBS Sports Network carrying the broadcast (streaming on CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports App) and Navy favored by 2.5 points.
Tulsa opened the year by stunning Oklahoma State but enters Saturday on a two-game losing streak, including a heartbreaker overtime loss to North Texas last week.
Navy fell to 1-3 after losing the first leg of the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy race to Air Force, 14-9, last week — a defensive struggle in which the source says the Midshipmen must 'figure some things out offensively' to beat the Golden Hurricane.
The source calls Saturday's game vital to Navy's chances of earning a bowl bid after the Air Force loss.
The Navy-Tulsa matchup is the middle leg of a CBS Sports Network service-academy football tripleheader, with Tulane at Army kicking off at noon and Air Force at Northern Illinois closing the night at 7:30 p.m.

Why it matters: A Navy loss pushes the Midshipmen to 1-4 and effectively ends their early bowl-game aspirations before midseason, while a Tulsa win delivers the Golden Hurricane's first AAC victory of 2025 and gives the Oklahoma State upset real staying power.
