Well the mystery of what opponent Navy added to the schedule to replace Houston has been solved. It is Arkansas State. Navy released its final 2010 schedule today and the addition of a home game against Arkansas State as opposed to a road game against Houston is the only change from the schedule that was printed in the media guide.
An interesting game is against Georgia Southern, which is now under the direction of former Navy assistant Jeff Monken.
