No. 21 Navy will face Kansas State for the first time ever in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31 in Memphis, Tennessee. This game matches two of the nation's most improved teams. Navy went 3-10 last year but carries a 9-2 record into its regular-season finale Saturday with Navy. Kansas State has gone 8-4 in coach Chris Klieman's debut season after going 5-7 last season. Kansas State handed playoff-bound Oklahoma its only loss of the season. Navy leads all Football Bowl Subdivision teams in rushing.
