2012 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl: Navy vs. Arizona State game preview, location, history and more

The Navy Midshipmen and Arizona St. Sun Devils arrive in the Bay Area this bowl season for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in a game featuring two teams aiming to end their season on a high note.

Both teams enjoyed successful, bounce back-type seasons and the two will try to make one last statement in their first-ever meeting. Arizona State ended its 2012 regular season with a win over the rival Arizona Wildcats on the road, giving the Sun Devils a winning, 5-4, record in the Pac-12 and ending their regular season on a two-game winning streak.

Navy, a FBS independent school, ended its season on a two-game winning streak of its own, including a victory in the famed Army-Navy showdown the weekend after most football teams' seasons had come to a close.

Navy has featured an array of performers all season, as only running back Gee Gee Greene accounted for more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage for the 8-4 Midshipmen. Quarterback Keenan Reynolds was efficient, however, passing for eight touchdowns to just one interception.

Arizona State features the Pac-12's Defensive Player of the Year in defensive end Will Sutton as well as quarterback Taylor Kelly, who passed for 25 touchdowns in 2012.
