NAVY [7-4, Independent] vs ARIZONA STATE [7-5, 5-4 Pac-12]
The Midshipmen and Sun Devils collide in San Francisco's 11th postseason bowl matchup, the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. 

It is set for Saturday, December 29th, at AT&T Park, home of the World Series champion San Francisco Giants.   Kickoff is 1:00 p.m. [PST]/4:00 p.m. [EST].

The game will feature a contrast in styles, as Navy unleashes its powerful ground game [6th nationally] against the rugged Sun Devils aggressive, punishing defense.

Navy returns to postseason play for the 18th time in its history, returning after a 1-year absence.  The Mids have gone to bowl games nine times in the last 10 years.   Arizona State is playing in its 26th bowl game, its first under new head coach Todd Graham.

Navy began its season 1-3, but reached bowl eligibility on the strength of a 5-game, midseason winning streak.  Arizona State survived a late-season skid to earn wins in its final two games, first over Washington State and then a come-from-behind 24-point 4th quarter that enabled ASU to defeat cross-state archrival Arizona.
