Battle of the Forces – Navy Beats Army at LinesMaker

Battle of the Forces – Navy Beats Army

Navy, who Lines­Maker had as 14.5 point favorites, bagged their eighth straight win of the annual bat­tle when they beat Army 17–3 on Sat­ur­day. Despite the vic­tory, the favored Navy squad failed to cover the spread. The Black Knights have now been elim­i­nated from a shot at play­ing in their first bowl game since 1996.

Ricky Dobbs ran for a score to set an NCAA single-season record for rush­ing touch­downs by a quar­ter­back with 24, and threw for a touch­down to help Navy improve to 54–49-7 over­all against Army for its biggest lead in a series that began in 1890.

The annual Commander-In-Chief’s Tro­phy has been awarded to Navy. This acco­lade goes to the team with the best record in games between the three ser­vice acad­e­mies, for a school-record sev­enth straight year.

The Mids (9–4) have secured a post­sea­son date against Mis­souri in the Texas Bowl on Dec. 31.
