Patriots

The Navy football team will travel to its final game of the 2019 college football season in fine fashion.

The New England Patriots have lent one of their team planes to Navy, ensuring a smooth ride to Memphis, where the Midshipmen will play Kansas State in the Autozone Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31.

It's a fitting ride for a team of actual Patriots who represent the red, white and blue so well.
