SAN DIEGO — Navy is back in a Navy town, ready to take on San Diego State in what’s essentially another Aztecs home game.

And Rocky Long will be in his element during tonight’s Poinsettia Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium.

As a quarterback at New Mexico, Long ran a triple-option offense. As San Diego State’s defensive-minded coach, he’ll use his 3-3-5 alignment to try to stop junior quarterback Keenan Reynolds and the rest of the Midshipmen.

Navy leads the nation with 345.1 yards rushing per game.
