The FBS regular season has concluded as the Navy Midshipmen took down the 22nd-ranked Army Black Knights 31-13. This game was not very close as the Midshipmen stepped up with three interceptions on the defensive side of things while quarterback Blake Horvath had a career game.

Navy (9-3) looks toward the Armed Forces Bowl against the Oklahoma Sooners on Dec. 27 to get to double-digit victories this season. Army (11-2) are now preparing for the Independence Bowl to play against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs as the Bulldogs are replacing the Marshall Thundering Herd.

Navy vs. Army Game Summary

The Navy Midshipmen were able to control the game offensively as they tallied 31 points on 378 total yards (107 passing, 271 rushing). The Midshipmen went 7-of-13 on third downs while converting their singular fourth down try.

The team may have only completed four passes but averaged 11.9 yards per pass while the ground game accounted for 5.9 yards per carry. Navy’s defense recorded three interceptions on the day to maintain their multiple-possession lead later in the game.

The Army Black Knights looked completely outmatched for this game as they finished with 13 points, gaining 178 total yards (65 passing, 113 rushing). One positive was the fact the Black Knights only committed one penalty for five yards.

However, three interceptions are difficult to overcome, especially when your defense doesn’t force any turnovers. The offense for Army went 5-of-14 on third downs and 2-of-2 on fourth downs but the team could not move the ball too well. They averaged 4.1 yards per pass and 2.9 rushing yards per attempt.
