by Scott Strasemeier, Sr. Associate Athletic Director • Navy and fifth-ranked Ohio State will meet for the fifth time on the gridiron when they square off this afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium (71,008) in Baltimore. Kickoff is set for 12 noon with Under Armour serving as the participating game day sponsor.

• The Midshipmen received two points in the Associated Press Preseason Top 25 Poll. Meanwhile, it’s the 26th consecutive year that Ohio State has been ranked in the AP preseason poll, which is the best mark in the FBS. Oklahoma is the next closest, having been ranked 15 consecutive years.

• This will be just the second time that Ohio State has come East to play Navy. The two teams met in Baltimore in 1930 at old Municipal Stadium, with the Buckeyes coming out on top, 27-0. In the last meeting between the two schools, the 2009 season opener, Ohio State hung on for a 31-27 win when Brian Rolle picked off Navy’s two-point conversion attempt with 2:23 remaining and returned it 100 yards for two points to give the Buckeyes the win.

• Navy’s last victory over a team ranked in the top 25 came on Nov. 7, 2009, when the Mids knocked off #19 Notre Dame in South Bend, 23-21. Navy’s last win over a team ranked in the top five was on Nov. 17, 1984, when it stunned #2 South Carolina, 38-21, in Annapolis.

• Senior offensive tackle Bradyn Heap, senior outside linebacker Chris Johnson, senior safety Parrish Gaines and senior punter Pablo Beltran have been named to the Phil Steele 2014 Preseason All-Independent First Team.

• Steele ranks four Navy units among the best in the country. He ranks Navy’s quarterbacks as the nation’s 20th best (Ohio State #5), the running backs (SB’s and FB’s) were ranked 39th (Army #9, Ohio State #22 and Notre Dame #24), the offensive line is ranked 33rd (Notre Dame #16) and Navy’s special teams are ranked 24th (Ohio State #15).

• Junior quarterback Keenan Reynolds is on the Watch List for the Maxwell Award, the Davey O’Brien Award, The Manning Award and the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award.

• Johnson is on the Watch List for the Lombardi Award.

• Senior fullback Noah Copeland is on the Watch List for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award.

• The March-On of the Brigade of Midshipmen will take place at 11:40 am.

• The National Anthem will take place at 11:53 am.

• Navy will take the field at 12:01:30 pm, followed by Ohio State at 12:02 pm.

• The two teams will shake hands at mid-field as a show of sportsmanship at 12:03 pm.

• Halftime will feature the Naval Academy Drum & Bugle Corps, followed by the Ohio State Marching Band.

• At the conclusion of the game, the Navy football team will stand at attention facing the Brigade of Midshipmen for the playing of Navy Blue & Gold, the school’s alma mater.

Poll and #6 in the USA Today/Coaches Poll.

• The Buckeyes are led on defense by what has been touted as the top defensive line in the country. Defensive ends Joey Bose (6-5, 278) and Steve Miller (6-3, 255) along with defensive tackles Adolphus Washington (6-4, 295), Michael Bennett (6-2, 288) and Tommy Schutt (6-2, 295) one the best defensive lines Navy has faced in the triple option era.

• Ohio State is expected to start redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett (6-1, 225) at quarterback. He will have a host of talented skill players to get the ball to, including running backs Ezekiel Elliott (6-0, 225), Rod Smith (6-3, 231) and Curtis Samuel (5-11, 196) and H-Backs Dontre Wilson (5-10, 188) and Jalin Marshall (5-11, 205). Tight end Jeff Heuerman (6-5, 255) is one of the top tight ends in the country.

• Navy played eight teams in 2013 that were bowl eligible with the Mids posting a 4-4 record in those games. Navy earned wins over Pitt, South Alabama, San Jose State and Middle Tennessee and lost to Western Kentucky, Duke, Toledo and Notre Dame.

• Navy has been dominant against the other two Service Academies, winning 21 of the last 23 contests (.913) dating back to the 2002 ArmyNavy game. Over that time period, the Mids are 12-0 against Army and 9-2 against Air Force.

• The Mids own a 92-49 (.652) record over the last 11 years after posting a 3-30 (.091) mark from 2000-02. The 92 wins are the 25th most in the country over that time period.

• Since 2003, Navy has won 21 games against schools from a “Power Five” conference. Those 21 wins have come against 10 different opponents and are the most in the country by a non-Power Five school.

• Ken Niumatalolo is just the second coach in school history to start his coaching career at Navy with a 6-0 record against rival Army. Paul Johnson turned in a 6-0 mark against West Point from 2002-07 before leaving Navy for Georgia Tech.

• Niumatalolo has led the Mids to a 49-30 (.620) record over the last six seasons and is third all-time at Navy in career wins. Additionally, he holds Navy coaching records for most wins in the first two (18), three (27), four (32), five (40) and sixth (49) seasons of a career. A victory over Ohio State on Saturday would give Niumatalolo 50 career wins, which would tie him with Eddie Erdelatz (50-26-8 from 1950-58) for second all-time at Navy for career wins. Additionally, he would be the fastest coach in school history to reach 50 wins (80 games). Erdelatz won his 50th game in his 83rd game, while George Welsh (55-46-1 from 1973-81) won his 50th in his 92nd contest.

• Junior quarterback Keenan Reynolds owns a 15-6 (.714) career record as the starting quarterback with wins over Central Michigan, Indiana (2x), East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Texas State, Army (2x), Delaware, Air Force, Pitt, Hawai’i, South Alabama, San Jose State and Middle Tennessee.

• Reynolds has led Navy to five fourth-quarter comeback wins over his career (Air Force, Indiana and Army in 2012, Pitt and San Jose State in 2013). His five career fourth quarter comebacks are the most in the country by an active player (Ohio State’s Braxton Miller, who is out for the year, has six).

• Ohio State had won 22 games in a row before dropping its final two games of the 2013 season, losing to Michigan State (34-24) in the Big Ten Championship Game and to Clemson (40-35) in the Orange Bowl.

• Despite losing starting quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Braxton Miller in the preseason, the Buckeyes are still considered to be one of the top teams in the nation. Ohio State is ranked #5 in the Associated Press

• The 2013 team is just the fifth in Navy’s 132-year history of playing football to win at least nine games in a season, beat Army and win a bowl game.

The 1957, 1978, 2004 and 2009 teams also achieved the feat.

• Navy has won at least nine games five times in the last 10 years. Before the current streak, Navy had won nine or more games just five times in the previous 77 seasons.

THE REYNOLDS FILE • Junior quarterback Keenan Reynolds is 15-6 (.714) as Navy’s starting quarterback, posting a 6-2 record as a freshman in 2012 and a 9-4 mark in 2013. One of his four losses in 2013 was when he was injured in the second quarter at Western Kentucky and left with a 7-3 lead. The Mids would go on to lose that game 19-7.

• He is just the fourth player in NCAA history to rush for 30 or more touchdowns in a season and just the seventh player in NCAA history to score 30 or more touchdowns in a season.

• His 41 career touchdowns are the third most in school history and just three behind second-place Chris McCoy (44 from 1995-97, 43 rushing and one receiving).

• His seven rushing touchdowns against San Jose State set an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback and tied an NCAA record for most touchdowns scored against an FBS opponent by any position.

Reynolds also set a school record for most points scored in a game and most touchdowns scored. Bill Ingram previously held the scoring record with 38 points against Villanova in 1917.

• Reynolds scored three or more touchdowns in seven games in 2013 which was one game shy of the NCAA record set by Barry Sanders in 1988 and equalled by Kapri Bibbs of Colorado State last year. He has scored three or more touchdowns nine times in his career (did it twice as a freshman against East Carolina and Troy).

• He scored a school-record 188 points in 2013. The record had previously been set by Bill Ingram in 1917 with 174.

The school record for rushing yards by a quarteraback is 273 whch was set by Chris McCoy in 1995. McCoy also rushed for 268 against Kent State in 1997.

• He was just the third player (fourth time) to rush for more than 200 yards in a game twice in the same season when he did it in 2013. Chris McCoy did it in consecutive games in 1996 against Delaware and Tulane and again in 1997 in consecutive games against Kent State and Army. Napoleon McCallum did it in consecutive games in 1983 against Air Force and Princeton.

• He is just the fourth player in school history to have at least two 200-yard rushing days in a career joining McCoy (five), Napoleon McCallum (four) and Eddie Meyers (two) • Reynolds rushed for 1,260 yards and threw for 1,038 yards in 2013 to become only the fourth quarterback in school history to rush AND pass for 1,000 yards in a season.

• Reynolds was just the third freshman in program history to start at quarterback, joining Kubiak and Alton Grizzard, who started seven games at quarterback in 1987.

• Against Army as a freshman, Reynolds led Navy on a fourth quarter sevenplay, 80-yard drive that he capped himself with an eight-yard touchdown run to give Navy a 17-13 victory. Reynolds was held to 43 yards rushing, but scored the game-winning touchdown and completed 10 of 17 passes for 130 yards. He became the first player in series history to be named the game’s MVP as a freshman.

• Against Army as a sophomore, Reynolds repeated as the Most Valuable Player, rushing for 136 yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries in Navy’s 34-7 rout of the Black Knights.

Reynolds is just the third sophomore to win the Thompson Cup in the 127-year history of the award and the first sophomore since Roger Staubach, who won the award in 1963. The only other sophomore to win the award was Ben Martin (‘46).

• Following the 2013 season, Reynolds was named the Washington DC Touchdown Club Metro Area Player of the Year and the Columbus (Ohio) Touchdown Club Male Athlete of the Year.

NIUMATALOLO THIRD IN CAREER WINS AT NAVY • Entering his seventh season at Navy, head coach Ken Niumatalolo has led the Midshipmen to a 49-30 (.620) record and stands third all-time at Navy in career wins.

• Niumatalolo holds Navy coaching records for most wins in the first two seasons (18), three seasons (27), four seasons (32), five seasons (40) and six seasons (49) of a career.

• A victory over Ohio State on Saturday would give Niumatalolo 50 career wins, which would tie him with Eddie Erdelatz (50-26-8 from 1950-58) for second all-time at Navy for career wins. Additionally, he would be the fastest coach in school history to reach 50 wins (80 games). Erdelatz won

CLOSE CALLS • Dating back to the 2011 Army-Navy game, Navy has won eight of its last 10 games decided by eight points or less. The Mids were 3-2 in 2013 in close encounters, beating Indiana, 41-35, in the season opener, losing to Toledo, 45-44 in double overtime, beating Pitt, 24-21, losing to Notre Dame, 38-34 and beating San Jose State, 58-52, in triple overtime.

• The Mids are 21-15 (.583) under head coach Ken Niumatalolo in games decided by eight points or less.

THE RED ZONE • Navy scored on 53 of its 61 possessions (.869) in the red zone last year, scoring 42 touchdowns (.689), kicking 11 field goals, losing two fumbles, missing two field goals, taking a knee twice and losing it on downs once.

• The Mids finished 33rd in the country in red zone offense.

• The opposition scored on 35 of its 45 red zone opportunities (.778), scoring 31 touchdowns (.689), kicking four field goals, throwing three interceptions, stopped on downs three times, took a knee once and missed three field goals.

• Navy finished 27th in the country in red zone defense.

MOVING THE CHAINS • Navy finished tied for fourth in the country with Ohio State in 2013 in fewest three-and-outs with just 17 percent of its drives (23 of 135) ending in a three-and-out (or less).

• The statistic is meant to measure how often the offense was not forced off the field without getting a first down so if you threw an interception on second down, that counts; if you lost a fumble on the first play of the series, that counts; if you got a first down on the first play, then turned the ball over on the third play, that does not count; if you scored on the first play, that does not count; if after three plays you miss a field goal, it counts, but if you make the field goal it does not count; it does not count when a team takes a knee at the end of the half or the game.

MIDS CONSISTENTLY AMONG TOP RUSHING TEAMS • Over the last 12 years, Navy has consistently been one of the top rushing teams in the country, never finishing lower than sixth.

• The Mids kicked off the trend in 2002 when they finished third in the country in rushing, averaging 270.8 yds/gm.

• In 2003, Navy led the nation averaging a then school-record 323.2 yds/ gm. That is the fifth-best rushing average for a team over the last 11 years.

• In 2005, Navy led the country in rushing for the second time in three years, averaging 318.7 yds/gm. The 318.7 yds/gm is the seventh-best rushing average by a team in the last 11 years.

• Navy finished the 2006 campaign averaging a nation’s-best and then school-record 327.0 yds/gm. That is the fourth-best rushing average by a team in the last 11 years.

• The Mids rushed for a school-record 348.8 yds/gm in 2007, becoming the first team in NCAA history to lead the nation in rushing threeconsecutive years. The 348.8 yards rushing is the second-best rushing average by a team in the last 10 years. Only the 2000 Nebraska team (349.3) rushed for more over that time period.

• The 348.8 yards per game are the most yards rushing by a FBS team since Nebraska averaged 349.3 yds/gm in 2000.

• In 2008, Navy led the country in rushing for an unprecedented fourthstraight year, averaging 292.4 yds/gm.

• The Mids finished No. 2 in the country in 2013, averaging 325.4 yards per game. It was the best rushing average by a Navy team since 2007 when that team rushed for a school-record 348.8 yards per game.

• Meanwhile, Navy’s 50 rushing touchdowns last fall were the most in the country.

MIDS WANT TO PASS ON THEIR OWN TERMS • With Keenan Reynolds at quarterback, the Mids have wanted to go to the air more than they have in the past as Navy has not had a quarterback, outside of Ricky Dobbs, who can throw it as well as Reynolds in the triple option era.

• With that being said, the Mids still want to pass on their own terms and not be forced to throw when the defense is expecting it. Navy still must have success running the football to make the passing game effective and in games where it is forced to throw, it has not had as much success.

• Dating back to 2003, Navy is 18-1 (.947) when throwing the ball 0-5 times in a game and 47-14 (.770) when throwing the ball 6-10 times. As a whole, the Mids are 65-15 (.813) when throwing the ball 10 or fewer times.

• Conversely, Navy is 27-34 (.443) when throwing the ball 11 times or more, including a 7-13 (.350) mark when throwing the ball 16 times or more.

• With Keenan Reynolds as the starting quarterback, the Mids are 8-1 (.889) when throwing it 0-10 times and 7-5 (.583) when throwing it 11 or more times.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I seNioR FeAtuRe Geoffrey Whiteside: The Quintessential Navy Football Player

by Gary Lambrecht

There they sat in the middle of the night nearly five years ago, father and son, pouring over all of the options, both pros and cons, in their home in Columbus, Ohio. The deadline was fast approaching for Geoffrey Whiteside, who was about to make the most pivotal decision of his young life.

With college football’s National Signing Day upon him, after weighing various offers from Toledo, Northern Illinois, Ohio University, Air Force and the U.S. Naval Academy, the youngest of Larry Whiteside’s three children threw his dad for a loop.

Geoffrey announced he wanted to go to Navy to play football, become a military officer and be a leader in service to his country.

“We were up until 3 or 4 a.m. on Signing Day, going over his choices. When Geoffrey told me that he wanted to come to Navy, it knocked my socks off. It’s a moment I will never forget,” recalled Larry, Sr. “I thought [Geoffrey] might have been a little too sleepy or a little delirious. We don’t have a military background in our family.

“I was apprehensive about it. But I wanted him to make that decision. I asked him if he was sure about it. He said [Navy] could provide him with the best future, and he could still get to play football. It just goes to show you that sometimes kids know what they want. Geoffrey always was a driven young man.”

That hasn’t changed with Whiteside, the senior slot back who, at 5-feet-10, 177 pounds, is scheduled to start in Navy’s much-anticipated season opener against Ohio State – his hometown team. Whiteside expected more than a dozen family members and friends to witness the big event at M&T Bank Stadium, the home of the Baltimore Ravens.

Like many of the players on head coach Ken Niumatalolo’s team, Whiteside has been forced to pay his dues, and then some. Before breaking into the starting lineup of a deep offensive backfield in 2013, when he started seven of 10 games, scored four touchdowns, averaged 7.4 yards on 49 carries and added 158 receiving yards, Whiteside worked tirelessly and somewhat anonymously for several years.

Never mind that, while attending Columbus Bishop Hartley High School, he earned all-Ohio recognition three times in football, was part of a 4 X 100 meter relay team that won a state championship in 2010 and won a conference title in the 100 meters with a time of 10.81 seconds.

Whiteside went back to square one in shoulder pads, first by spending a year at the Naval Academy prep school in Newport, R.I., then by learning the football ropes in Annapolis as a plebe who saw no varsity action as a scout team performer on offense or special teams.

“Everything Geoffrey has gained in our program, he earned. He doesn’t ask for much,” Niumatalolo said. “He was not one of our more highly recruited A backs, just a relentless, humble kid who commands respect. You’ve got to be a tough sucker mentally to put up with what he dealt with – coming from being ‘the man’ to being at the bottom of the barrel. Geoffrey basically forced our hand with the way he did his job.”

“[My path] has been difficult, but I’ve always tried to keep a clear and positive mind, always going forward,” Whiteside said. “Those first two years were kind of discouraging. Coach [Niumatalolo] told me to respect the grind, and eventually things will pay off. I stuck to that plan, and here I am.”

Given where he came from, it’s no wonder that Whiteside, 23, has persevered and reached this point in a solid career.

The Whiteside household has always been about work and goals.

Geoffrey’s father played football at Ohio University, and has worked for 32 years for Franklin County Children Services, where he is a specialist who links families with adopted kids. His mother, Mellisa, owns and operates a successful daycare business that she started.

Then there are the successful siblings.

Larry, Jr., 25, attended St. Augustine’s College in Raleigh, N.C. on a golf scholarship, and works as a software engineer. Brittney, 29, was a four-time, all-Horizon League basketball player at Wright State in Dayton, Ohio.

She played professionally for four years in Germany, before a ruptured Achilles ended her career. She works as a special assistant to the Athletics Director at Wright State.

You might say there was a competitive streak that energized the family.

“I remember when he was about five or six my Mom would take us for walks around this track in the neighborhood. Geoffrey would keep running around the track while the rest of us were walking,” Brittney said.

“I honestly think even then, he was out to prove something to his older siblings. When he was older, the first time he was quick enough and good enough to beat me in one-on-one [basketball], what a moment that was for him.”

Geoffrey also experienced an extremely scary moment as a youngster, when the Whiteside family resided in a stretch of East Columbus that was starting to turn in a dangerous direction.

When he was nine, Geoffrey was walking to catch the bus to school with his older brother. Suddenly, Geoffrey felt a sharp pain on his right ear and cried out. Larry Jr. took a look and realized his little brother was bleeding, and that part of his lower ear was missing.

“I felt this sharp sting. I didn’t know what happened,” Geoffrey recalled. “I remember there was blood trickling down my neck and my brother was saying, ‘Geoffrey, your ear!’”

As it turned out, according to Larry, Sr., a teenage boy in the neighborhood had found a pellet gun in his home, and had fired inexplicably at the unsuspecting Whitesides. Doctors successfully reattached a piece of the ear.

“Geoffrey knew the kid [who shot him]. If that shot had hit him a few more inches over to the left, it could have been bad,” Larry, Sr. said. “The shooter went through the juvenile system and ended up in a diversion program. We ended up moving to a safer neighborhood a few months after that.

“It took two or three weeks before Geoffrey would even go outside

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I seNioR FeAtuRe to play again. We had a basketball court outside, and after a while I coaxed him into coming out to play for a few minutes, then a few minutes longer. By the time we moved, Geoffrey was much better about it.”

Geoffrey remembers “staying positive” after the incident, which he did not discuss in much detail. As his brother recalled, Geoffrey has never been a trouble-maker, before or since.

“There was a ton of trouble you could get into in the inner city, where we grew up, but Geoffrey never went down that path,” said Larry, Jr. “He’s always been more of a leader instead of a follower. He’s a realist who looks after his friends and sees the big picture.”

Navy assistant coach Justin Davis, who recruited Whiteside, remembers being struck by that same maturity in the quick, undersized Whiteside.

“Geoffrey was a late bloomer. You could see on tape that he had speed and athletic ability and had a knack for picking up yards. But after talking to him for 10 minutes and seeing how quiet and humble he was, I knew he would work [at Navy],” Davis said.

“We don’t care about the size [in the slot backs] here. We want workers and leaders, and that’s him. He started out eighth on the depth chart when he first got here, and Geoffrey just came to work with his lunch pail, took his punishment on the scout team and never complained about anything. I’ve loved watching him stay the course.”

“[Whiteside] is the quintessential Navy football player. He isn’t great at any one thing, but he’s very good and consistent at a lot of stuff,” added slot backs coach Danny O’Rourke, who pointed especially to Whiteside’s commitment to blocking.

“Besides quarterback, his position is the hardest to learn,” O’Rourke said. “You’re part of the running, passing and blocking games, and you’ve got to know everything about the offense. Like a lot of freshman, Geoffrey didn’t know his left from his right early on. But he started looking like a totally different player as a sophomore.”

Whiteside recalled the thrill of finally getting on the playing field in 2012 – in Dublin, Ireland, of all places. Navy opened that season against Notre Dame. Whiteside was on the Mids’ coverage team on the opening kickoff.

“I remember feeling that adrenalin running down the field, hearing how loud the crowd was. It was a strange experience,” he said. “I was real nervous leading up to the kickoff, but so excited to actually be out there.”

Gradually, Whiteside earned more snaps and touches in the offensive backfield while playing behind veterans such as Gee Gee Greene and Darius Staten. By the time Whiteside caught a key, third-down pass against Army to set up a game-winning touchdown by Brandon Turner, he already had gained a huge fan in quarterback Keenan Reynolds, then a freshman.

“To me, Geoffrey was an unsung hero that year, lurking in the shadows and grinding,” Reynolds said. “He’s an easy-going guy, not very vocal. But he can make plays, and he’s not afraid to block anybody, whether it’s a 250-pound linebacker or a five-star cornerback in the open field. He takes pride in those blocks on the perimeter. He just plays bigger than what he is, which helps him be a leader of the [slot backs].”

Whiteside became one of Navy’s steady playmakers in 2013. He broke off a career-long, 31-yard run and rushed for a career-high 97 yards in the season-opening, 41-35 win at Indiana. He rushed for two scores and teamed up with Reynolds for a career-long, 61-yard pass play the next week against Delaware.

He remained an integral part of Navy’s 9-4 season all the way to the end, when he spent much of the day producing blocks that helped the Mids grind up Middle Tennessee State with a 24-6 rout in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Navy rushed for 366 yards that day, marking the sixth straight game in which the Mids passed the 300-yard mark.

And now, the swift, undersized grinder from Columbus is ready to take on the school he rooted for in his youth. The adrenalin will be flowing big time in Baltimore.

“You can’t get away from Ohio State in Columbus. There are no pro teams there. I remember watching guys like Ted Ginn and Troy Smith when I was younger. I really looked up to them,” he said.

“Now, I’m really looking forward to playing against them. It’s going to be great in that big stadium. I try not to make the stage too big. I just want to prepare for it the same way I’d prepare for any other game.

But there is a little bit of an extra chip on my shoulder.”

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF’S TROPHY The Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy is presented annually to the winner of the football competition among the three major service academies — Army, Navy and Air Force — and is named in honor of the President of the United States.

Navy has dominated of late, winning the trophy nine of the last 11 years and winning 21 of the last 23 Service Academy games against Air Force and Army in the process.

Navy has won the trophy a total of 14 times: 1973, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1981, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012 and 2013.

When there is no clear-cut winner, the trophy remains with the winner of the previous year’s competition.

The three-sided trophy stands two-and-a-half-feet tall and is engraved with the academy seals. Reproductions of the three mascots — the Army Mule, the Navy Goat and the Air Force Falcon — are ensconced on the respective sides of this bauble. The trophy is sponsored by the West Point Association of Graduates, the Naval Academy Alumni Association and the Air Force Association of Graduates.

The year in which the trophy is won is engraved on a plate gracing the respective academy’s side of the trophy.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I BEAT ARMY! At the Naval Academy, beating Army is important. Plebes yell “Beat Army!” in Bancroft Hall, “Beat Army!” is on every weight in the Naval Academy weight rooms, and alums and fans alike yell “Beat Army!” at the end of Blue & Gold, the Naval Academy’s alma mater.

The annual showdown between the two rivals in each sport is deemed the Star Game with the players from the winning team receiving a Star for their lettersweaters. For those sports that face Army multiple times in a season, the Star Game is designated prior to the start of the year.

Patrick Prada, Wrestling

Navy is 38-3-2 against the Black Knights over the last 43 years in the overall series and is 16-1-1 over the last 18 years and 30-4-2 over the last 36 years in the Star series.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I GAME DAY IN ANNAPOLIS An American treasure, Navy football will bring a small historic district to life five times this fall. A Navy football “Game Day Experience” is unrivaled by any other collegiate football game in the country. Each home game lends itself to an entire day of fun, an event to say the least, for fans of all ages. From the minute fans arrive at the stadium, they are entrenched in wholesome entertainment everywhere they turn.

Pageantry

True patriotism and pride in one’s country are felt every home game when the entire Brigade of Midshipmen marches from the grounds of the Academy to midfield of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium to salute its school, its team and most importantly, its country. Immediately following the National Anthem, sung by the Naval Academy glee club, fans experience one of the most breathtaking moments of their lives, as planes fly-by overhead to welcome the start of the game.

Team Walk

Don’t miss the Navy football team’s arrival at the stadium as it makes its way from the team buses through NavyFest and into the locker room.

Join the Navy cheerleaders and fellow fans at the Mid Walk, two-and-a-half hours before every home game near the Blue Angel on the blue (press box) side parking lot.

NavyFest

Looking for a more intimate setting for your group event? NavyFest is an area that provides space for groups of 30 to 1,000 to gather with friends, family, employees, clients and neighbors in anticipation of the heated action on the field. From your game ticket to a buffet lunch by one of our preferred caterers, everything can be provided as you experience one of the best tailgating traditions in college football. It is also the best place to view the march-on by the Brigade of Midshipmen.

The Game

Game day features even more tradition and pageantry, beginning with the sounding of the cannon, symbolizing the official start of the game and heard again only when Navy scores. When the Mids put points on the board, fans witness another spectacle as a sea of uniforms race to the North end zone to do push-ups that match their team’s point total on the scoreboard.

Captain’s B.B.Q.

For those fans who want their pregame tailgate provided for them, this is the perfect solution. You can enjoy an all-you-can-eat and drink buffet for two-and-a-half hours prior to kickoff, while watching all of the pregame festivities from a bird’s eye view inside of the stadium.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I FIRST GAME AT NAVY-MARINE CORPS MEMORIAL STADIUM Navy unveiled its newest pride and joy, the $3 million dollar NavyMarine Corps Memorial Stadium, before 25,000 spectators by beating William & Mary, 29-2, on Sept. 26, 1959. Joe Bellino scored the first points in stadium history on a 53-yard touchdown run, while fullback Joe Matalavage rumbled for an 86-yard touchdown run. Quarterback Jim Maxfield led the Navy offense to two more touchdowns as the Midshipmen piled up 289 yards rushing while holding The Tribe to just 101 yards of total offense.

“I remember that we were all very proud of our new stadium and so impressed with how big and beautiful it was,” Jim Dunn, an offensive center and captain of the 1959 squad, told the Annapolis Capital. “That stadium really helped put Navy football on the map. It made home games much more of an event.”

Plans to construct a new stadium actually began more than two decades before and in 1939, the Naval Academy Athletic Association bought a 106-acre tract of farmland in West Annapolis.

By 1941, architects had completed preliminary plans and specifications, so rough grading of the former Davis-Smith site began.

However, World War II intervened and delayed construction of the stadium until 1956. That is when a survey showed the available athletic space for the Naval Academy intramural program to be woefully inadequate. Demolishing Thompson Stadium, home to Navy football since 1912, would free up five acres of valuable on-campus space for outdoor exercise activities.

Thompson Stadium had become terribly outdated in terms of seating, parking and other amenities and had deteriorated tremendously during its 48-year existence.

Academy officials estimated it would require $300,000 in renovations just to restore the stadium to limited utility without adding another seat, parking space or improved facilities. As a result, a drive to raise private funds for a new stadium began and was coordinated by Rear Admiral William R. Smedberg III, Superintendent of the Naval Academy at the time. Captain Eugene B. Fluckey served as campaign director and is credited with generating contributions that more than covered the cost of constructing the stadium. The stadium was funded by thousands of dedicated alumni, sailors, marines and friends of the United States Naval Academy, who donated the $3 million in private gifts.

As a result, Navy was able to build a stadium that was worthy of its great football tradition.

“Thompson Stadium wasn’t much to speak of. It was like a high school stadium to most of the players,” quarterback Joe Tranchini told the Capital. “Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium was definitely a major upgrade.”

A portion of this story was reprinted from the Annapolis Capital.

The Daniel F. Akerson Tower The east side tower of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium was officially dedicated the Daniel F. Akerson Tower in a private ceremony on May 1, 2014. Dan ’70 and Karin Akerson established the largest private gift in Naval Academy history with their $20 million commitment to the school, a significant portion of which served as the lead gift for the Phase IV renovations to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium that commenced in the summer of 2013. Their generous contribution paved the way for the installation of two new state-of-the-art high-definition video boards, the construction of two enclosed recruiting and hospitality reception areas in the south end zone, the complete refurbishment of the home team locker room and the construction of two premium club lounges on the upper-level of Akerson Tower adjacent to the stadium’s existing upper-level suites.

Cmdr. Michael B. Clark & Lisa Quadrini Postgame Media Center Located inside of the Blue Side Recruiting Suite, the Cmdr. Michael B.

Hamilton Locker Room Complex at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium was officially dedicated at the opening game of the 1992 season.The $800,000 facility includes home and visiting team locker rooms, training rooms, an officials’ dressing area and an office for the stadium supervisor. There are separate dressing and shower areas for coaches in each of the locker rooms. The locker rooms accommodate approximately 100 players and coaches for each team. The 16,000-square-foot structure is of masonry construction and is completely air conditioned. The facility actually includes two buildings and incorporates the arch which has been a traditional part of the entrance at the south end of the stadium. The arch was refurbished to match the decor of the complex. The home team locker room was renovated in the summer of 2013.

Jack Stephens Field The United States Naval Academy Campaign: Leaders to Serve the Nation received a $10 million gift from Mr. Jackson T. Stephens of Little Rock, Arkansas in 2003. The late Mr. Stephens was a 1947 graduate of the Naval Academy and the former Chairman of Stephens Group, Inc. His gift supported the renovations of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, the Class of 1947 Legacy project to benefit the Academy’s Museum, and other important Campaign priorities. The field at NavyMarine Corps Memorial Stadium is named “Jack Stephens Field” in his honor.

Terwilliger Family Scoreboard The Terwilliger Family is honored to have the scoreboard named after it for its contribution to the Naval Academy and to the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium renovation project. Ron Terwilliger is a member of the Class of 1963. His brother Bruce is a member of the Class of 1965.

Both were varsity athletes, scholars and served on active duty upon graduation. They are honored to give back to the Naval Academy, which gave so much to them.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I STADIUM RENOVATIONS Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium was initially renovated with the first of three phases over a four-year time period (2002-05) and transformed into a state-of-the-art multi-use facility hosting Navy football and men’s and women’s lacrosse as well as a myriad of other local, regional, national and international events. Recently (2011-14), the stadium has been further addressed with renovations used for recruiting, hospitality, scoreboards and locker rooms.

The $58M project was privately funded by the Naval Academy Foundation and the Naval Academy Athletic Association (NAAA). 360 Architecture of Kansas City, Kan. and Alt, Breeding, Schwarz of Annapolis, Md. directed the design.

New components include two state-of-the-art video scoreboards, chair back seating, ADA seating platforms and access ramps, concession stands, end zone seating, luxury suites, and additional sideline seating created by lowering the playing field to give the stadium a more intimate look and feel.

In 2004, a 12,000 sq. ft. banquet facility was constructed to host class reunion dinners and other Naval Academy functions.

The first floor Admiral William Lawrence N-Room houses plaques listing the names of all USNA varsity letterwinners and can seat 600 for a banquet or formal dinner.

The second floor is the home of the Bilderback-Moore Navy Lacrosse Hall of Fame. The James H.H. Carrington Room is part of the Hall of Champions that displays lacrosse photos, trophies, memorabilia and a multimedia presentation representing the proud tradition of Navy lacrosse.

The banquet rooms are serviced by a full kitchen and bar areas with a fully-integrated audio and video system that features ten large screen televisions and the ability to give business presentations on both levels of the banquet facility.

The banquet facility is just one of many hospitality areas located in the stadium complex. Ten sideline suites are located on the lower east side of the stadium and eight in the south end zone. Large party tents are utilized with great views of the field in the southeast and southwest corners of the facility. Class reunions are frequently held in Class Ring North, located behind the battle arches in the north end, offering alumni an in-stadium tailgating opportunity.

A renovated press tower was completed prior to the 2004 season.

The fourth level, named the Flag Bridge, was erected under the old press area in the seating bowl. It has 71 permanent seats in front of additional stools, tables and chairs which allows for flexibility in hosting game day viewing or special events on non-game days.

The fifth level is dedicated to the writing press, radio booths, coaches’ booths, scoreboard, public address and operations areas and the sixth level holds six suites.

In 2005, the lower concourse restrooms were expanded and the concourse was totally resurfaced. A major change to the stadium came with the installation of a new synthetic field surface, FieldTurf, which allows the stadium to be used 365 days a year.

In the summer of 2010, four luxury boxes, a television booth and camera locations were constructed on the Upper East Side. The relocation of the television production allows CBS Sports Network to better capture the Navy sideline and Brigade of Midshipmen. In order to enhance the Stadium’s ADA

capabilities, two new elevators make stops at the lower portion of the upper deck to allow for fans to access their seats via a pedestrian bridge.

In the summer of 2011, a new playing surface was installed at NavyMarine Corps Memorial Stadium. The monoblade monofilament turf system was installed by FieldTurf making Navy the first FBS program with this type of field.

In the summer of 2013 two new state-of-the-art high-definition video boards were installed, the brand new construction of two enclosed recruiting and hospitality reception areas were completed in the south end zone and the complete refurbishment of the home team locker room.

In the summer of 2014, following a private dedication, the east tower formerly became known as Akerson Tower, named in honor of distinguished Naval Academy graduate, Daniel F. Akerson ‘70. Additionally, two identical club lounges, with dedicated seating, were constructed on either side of the existing Akerson Tower upper-level suites to provide a premium game day experience for up to 350 people.

The multi-purpose nature of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium has allowed it to play host to three NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals, the 2005 NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship, the 2005 Women’s Lacrosse World Cup, the 2013 First and Second Rounds of the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Tournament, Major League Lacrosse games, as well as numerous high school, professional and local youth events. The stadium is the home of the Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman and the annual site of a Baltimore Ravens’ practice.

The memorial aspects of the original structure were preserved and enhanced during the renovations. More than 8,000 chair back memorial plates were removed, refurbished and reinstalled in the new seats. Hundreds of memorial plaques received the same treatment and are featured on the Memorial Plaque Wall in the North Memorial Plaza. Battle arches and class arches have been constructed to tell the illustrious story of the Naval Services. Each combination of battle arches contains a history lesson on the left arch and a description of the particular battle on the right. Each and every battle fought by either the Navy or Marine Corps is depicted through the use of color-coded battle streamers allowing visitors to chronologically view the story of the brave men and women who we honor for their service to our country.There was also an arch dedicated to those that went on to serve in the Air Force.

The stadium was rededicated on Oct. 8, 2005 before Navy’s annual battle with Air Force. The Mids won the game, 27-24.

The dedication plaque for Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium reads as follows: “This Stadium is dedicated to those who have served and will serve as upholders of the traditions and renown of the Navy and Marine Corps of the United States. May it be a perpetual reminder that the Navy and Marine Corps are organizations of men trained to live nobly and serve courageously in peace, champions of our integrity; in war, defenders of our freedom.”

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I STADIUM BATTLES CHATEAU-THIERRY In the spring of 1918, the German army launched a massive offensive to defeat French and British forces before sufficient American troops could deploy to northern France and tip the balance of power.

The Germans did not achieve that objective. U.S. Army troops and U.S. Marines of the 2nd Infantry Division beat back repeated German attempts to seize the town of Chateau-Thierry and to capture bridges over France’s strategically vital Marne River.

caused the destruction of all of the squadron’s aircraft. Supported by a two-carrier task force, the Japanese then landed 1,000 men of a special naval landing force. Outnumbered and running low on ammunition, and before a relief force dispatched from Pearl Harbor could arrive, the garrison surrendered on the 23rd. The Japanese occupiers sent most of the men captured to prisoner of war camps in China and Japan but later executed 100 civilian contractors whom they kept on the island for construction work.

BELLEAU WOOD During four weeks in June 1918, U.S. Marines of the 5th and 6th Regiments and 6th Machine Gun Battalion attached to the U.S. Army’s 2nd Infantry Division fought strong German forces to control Belleau Wood, a one-mile square dense forest in northern France. On 6 June, the Marines launched an attack into well-fortified enemy positions in the town of Boureches and the surrounding woods, which cost nearly 5,000 casualties, or 50 percent of the men engaged. The Marines, however, drove the last German defenders from their trenches on the 26th. The Marines’ victory at Belleau Wood marked a psychological turning point in the war. Both the allies and the Germans then recognized that America was on the Western Front to fight and win. By the end of the year, the increasing skill and growing size of the American Expeditionary Force of Marines and soldiers, under General John J. Pershing, helped persuade Germany to sue for peace. World War I ended on 11 November 1918.

JAVA SEA On 27 February 1942, a combined fleet of 16 Dutch, U.S., Australian, and British cruisers and destroyers, under the command of Dutch Rear Admiral Karel Doorman, attempted to thwart a Japanese amphibious invasion of the oil-producing island of Java in the Netherlands East Indies. The allied warships fought hard that day and on the 28th to defeat a Japanese force of 17 cruisers and destroyers but the latter’s superior gunfire and especially lethal torpedoes won the battle. The Japanese fleet sank a pair of Dutch cruisers, one Dutch destroyer, and a British destroyer. Mines claimed another British destroyer. Later that night, enemy naval forces intercepted the ships that survived the battle and despite losing two troop transports to allied fire sank American heavy cruiser Houston (CA 30) and Australian cruiser Perth.

PEARL HARBOR With the goal of destroying the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Imperial Japanese Navy forces carried out a surprise attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet base at Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, on the morning of 7 December 1941. In two waves, more than 350 fighters, attack planes, and torpedo planes focused on the American battleships moored off Ford Island.

The attackers sank or heavily damaged Arizona (BB 39) and seven other battleships positioned there as well as a score of other naval vessels in the harbor. Enemy planes also destroyed 188 aircraft at military airfields on the island of Oahu and killed 2,403 American military personnel and civilians. The defending Navy, Marine, and Army forces sank or captured five Japanese midget submarines and shot down 29 aircraft. The attackers failed to sink the fleet’s three aircraft carriers, out to sea that day on military missions, or destroy the base’s fuel tank farm, and submarine base, and navy yard.

The brazen, surprise attack, which occurred even as Japanese diplomats negotiated in Washington, shocked and angered the American people and banished any talk of isolation from what had become a global conflict. On 8 December, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appeared before Congress during which he characterized the 7 December 1941 Pearl Harbor attack as a “date which will live in infamy.” Congress declared war on the Empire of Japan and days later on its Axis allies, Germany and Italy. The event marked America’s entry into World War II. WAKE Beginning on 8 December 1941, Japanese naval forces attacked Naval Air Station, Wake Island, defended by 388 Marines of the 1st Defense Battalion, a detachment from Marine Fighting Squadron 211, and a number of soldiers, sailors, and civilian contractors. The defenders sank two enemy destroyers and a transport and damaged four other ships. On 11 December Japanese surface and air forces pummeled Wake Island with bombs and shells. Bombing raids and antiaircraft fire

CORAL SEA Japan suffered its first strategic setback in the Pacific war when a U.S. fleet under Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher turned back an enemy amphibious attack on New Guinea’s Port Moresby, key to the allied defense of northern Australia. Alerted by code-breakers in Hawaii of Japanese offensive plans, on 7 and 8 May 1942, Fletcher’s force of carriers Lexington (CV 2) and Yorktown (CV 5) and supporting warships intercepted Vice Admiral Takeo Takagi’s fleet of three carriers as they entered the Coral Sea. For the first time in history, neither fleet came in sight of the other to do battle, but both Japanese and U.S. carrier planes sank opposing ships. While the Americans lost Lexington, a destroyer, and an oiler, the Japanese sustained a heavy loss of aircraft and pilots and serious damage to carrier Shokaku. Defeat in the Battle of Coral Sea marked the end of Japan’s seaborne attempt to seize New Guinea.

ALEUTIANS To divert American attention from Midway Island northwest of Hawaii, on 3 June 1942, Japanese carrier aircraft bombed Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands of the North Pacific. Only four days later, Japanese troops occupied Attu and Kiska islands in this same island chain.

In a running sea battle on 26 March 1943, Rear Admiral Charles H. McMorris’ task group of light cruisers Richmond (CL 9) and Salt Lake City (CL 25) and four destroyers evaded interception by a more powerful force of Japanese heavy and light cruisers and destroyers near the North Pacific’s Komandorski Islands. That May U.S. Navy and Army forces recaptured Attu, destroying the enemy garrison there. In August U.S. and Canadian forces occupied Kiska Island, evacuated by the Japanese garrison only the previous month.

MIDWAY To lure the U.S. Pacific Fleet into battle and then destroy it, Japanese navy forces under Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto bombed the U.S. airstrip on Midway Island west of Hawaii on 4 June 1942. Alerted by Commander Joseph J. Rochefort’s Pearl Harbor-based code-breakers of the numerically superior enemy fleet steaming toward the island, Pacific Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz set a trap with carrier Yorktown (CV 5) under Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher and carriers Enterprise (CV 6) and Hornet (CV 8) under Rear Admiral Raymond A. Spruance.

Soon after discovering the Japanese fleet, U.S. torpedo bombers, dive bombers, and fighters pounced on and sank carriers Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu and later in the day Hiryu but not before the planes from the latter ship severely damaged Yorktown. On 6 June, a Japanese submarine torpedoed Hammann (DD 412) and Yorktown, ultimately resulting in their sinking.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I STADIUM BATTLES GUADALCANAL The U.S. victory on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands of the South Pacific marked the beginning of the end for Japan’s Asian empire.

Following the 1st Marine Division’s 7 August 1942 seizure of an airstrip, later named Henderson Field, U.S. and Japanese forces fought day and night engagements for the next six months to secure the island. Naval battles resulted in the loss of so many ships, both U.S. and Japanese, that the Americans labeled the waters off the island “Iron bottom Sound.”

Marine and Army units endured grueling conditions ashore. Ultimately, the superior tactical skill and material strength of U.S. ground, air, and naval forces compelled surviving enemy units to withdraw. The Allied offensive in the Pacific begun at Guadalcanal would end only with the Japanese surrender on board battleship Missouri (BB 63) in Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945.

TARAWA The U.S. assault on Tarawa Atoll, at the start of the Central Pacific drive of World War II, developed into one of the bloodiest operations of the campaign but taught the victors valuable lessons in naval gunfire, close air support, and amphibious warfare. On 20 November 1943, Vice Admiral Raymond A. Spruance’s U.S. Fifth Fleet bombed and shelled the enemy-held islands of Makin, Apamama, and Betio and elements of Major General Holland M. Smith’s V Amphibious Corps landed on all three. Major General Julian C. Smith’s 2d Marine Division had the hardest assignment—take heavily fortified Betio defended by 5,000 Japanese troops, including a special naval landing force. It took three days of heavy fighting, and almost 3,400 Marine casualties, to destroy the Japanese garrison which fought almost to the last man. Tarawa showed that the road to Tokyo would be long and hard.

SAVO ISLAND The naval battle of Savo Island marked one of the greatest disasters in U.S. naval history. On the night of 9 August 1942, Japanese Admiral Gunichi Mikawa’s task force of cruisers and destroyers approached Guadalcanal to destroy Allied supply ships and Marine forces there.

Defending the sea approaches to Guadalcanal was a similar contingent of U.S. and Australian warships. Achieving complete tactical surprise, and making the best use of superior torpedoes and night-fighting skills, Mikawa’s combatants sank U.S. heavy cruisers Astoria (CA 34), Quincy (CA 39), and Vincennes (CA 44) and Australian cruiser Canberra and killed close to 1,100 American and Australian sailors. Mikawa withdrew his force before destroying the unarmed ships off the beachhead but his victory did compel U.S carriers and cargo ships to find safer havens far from Guadalcanal. The Japanese victory at Savo Island dealt a devastating blow to Allied fortunes in the early months of the Pacific offensive campaign.

KWAJALEIN After U.S. forces secured Tarawa and the Gilbert Islands, Pacific Fleet commander Admiral Chester W. Nimitz focused on the Marshalls. As a preliminary to amphibious operations, Rear Admiral Marc A. Mitcher’s Fast Carrier Task Force and land-based air units bombed enemy-held islands throughout the Marshalls during late January and early February 1943. In Operation Flintlock, Army troops then seized Kwajalein while Major General Harry Schmidt’s 4th Marine Division stormed the islands of Roi and Namur. The Marines killed or captured these islands’ 3,700 defenders. Having learned from the Tarawa experience, the U.S. armed services employed their weapons and tactics to much greater effect in these operations.

SOLOMONS The first major World War II offensive mounted by the United States and its Pacific allies took place in this remote island chain. Beginning in August 1942 when the U.S. 1st Marine Division landed on Guadalcanal through late 1943 when the war moved on to the Central Pacific and New Guinea/Philippines campaigns, the Solomons witnessed some of the hardest fighting of the war. At heavy cost, U.S. Marine and Army forces destroyed Japanese garrisons on numerous islands, including Guadalcanal, New Georgia, and Bougainville. During the same period, the U.S. and Japanese fleets traded blows in major naval actions in the battles of the Eastern Solomons, Santa Cruz Islands, Guadalcanal, Kula Gulf, Kolombangara, Vella Gulf, Empress Augusta Bay, and Cape St. George. U.S. planes cleared the seas of enemy warships, troop transports, and supply vessels. After securing the Solomons, the Allies continued the drive to destroy the Japanese war machine.

NEW GUINEA Early in 1942, Allied leaders kicked off a two-pronged offensive in the South and Southwest Pacific. Under the command of Admiral William F. Halsey, U.S. forces formed the eastern wing of this offensive drive while U.S. and Australian forces under American General Douglas MacArthur constituted the western arm. In the fall, MacArthur’s ground troops fought their way over New Guinea’s rugged Owen Stanley Range to the north coast and after bloody fighting destroyed the enemy garrisons at Buna and Gona. Throughout 1943 and into 1944, MacArthur’s forces, including the U.S. Seventh Fleet under Vice Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid, launched amphibious and air assault operations that bypassed enemy strongpoints at Hollandia and Noemfoor. However, it took hard fighting to defeat enemy forces on Biak Island before the New Guinea campaign came to a close in July 1944 and MacArthur set his sights on the Philippines.

MARIANAS In mid-1944 the Pacific Fleet focused on the Mariana Islands, vital to the defense of Japan itself. On 15 June ships under Rear Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner began bombing and shelling the large island of Saipan. Soon afterward Marine Lieutenant General Holland M. Smith’s landing force, which included the 2d and 4th Marine divisions, stormed ashore. The Army’s 27th Infantry Division joined them on the 17th. The American forces killed all but 1,800 of the enemy garrison but in the process lost 16,500 killed and wounded Marines and soldiers.

The fighting was almost as brutal on Guam, seized by the 3d Marine Division, the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade, and the Army’s 77th Infantry Division between 21 July and 10 August. During late July the Marines stormed Tinian, last of the Marianas occupied by the Japanese.

Soon afterward, American B-29 Super Fortress bombers began taking off from airfields on Tinian and bombing targets in the Japanese Home Islands.

PHILIPPINE SEA On 19 June 1944, Japanese Vice Admiral Jisaburo Ozawa’s 56 warships sortied from their bases in the Western Pacific to destroy the American invasion forces off Saipan in the Marianas. Determined to prevent that result, Admiral Raymond A. Spruance, Commander U.S. Fifth Fleet, deployed fifteen carriers, seven battleships, and ninety cruisers and destroyers. The Americans had another edge; 956 aircraft crewed by combat veterans to 473 Japanese planes flown by many inexperienced aviators. In the so-called “Marianas Turkey Shoot,” U.S. carrier planes destroyed 346 enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat for the loss of 30 of their own. That same day, American submarines sank two enemy carriers. On the 20th, the Americans burnished their great victory with the downing of another 65 enemy planes and sinking of another carrier. Japanese naval aviation never recovered from its devastating defeat in the Battle of the Philippine Sea.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I STADIUM BATTLES PELELIU General Douglas MacArthur persuaded his superiors that neutralizing the island of Peleliu in the Palaus was critical to the support of his operations in the Philippines. Hence, on 15 September 1944 U.S. naval forces launched Operation Stalemate II, which fighters on the ground soon confirmed as aptly named. Major General William H. Rupertus, the 1st Marine Division commander, concluded that the operation would take less than a week, but the 10,700 Japanese defenders fought on for two months. The enemy, holed-up in fortified caves on Umurbrogol Ridge, caused so many Marine casualties that Rupertus withdrew Colonel Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller’s 1st Marines after one week, during which time it had suffered 56 percent casualties. The rest of the division fought on and reduced enemy strength until relieved by the Army’s 81st Infantry Division which finally eliminated all enemy resistance on 25 November.

LEYTE GULF On 20 October 1944, U.S. Army troops under General Douglas MacArthur landed on Leyte Island as the first major step in the liberation of the Philippines. The Japanese navy launched an all-out attack to destroy the American forces at Leyte. On the 24th, Vice Admiral Takeo Kurita’s Central Force approached the Americans through San Bernardino Strait while a Southern Force moved through Surigao Strait.

U.S. carrier planes temporarily turned back Kurita’s force when they sank battleship Musashi. The Southern Force came to grief when it was set upon by U.S. PT boats, torpedo-firing destroyers, and six old but lethal battleships. Meanwhile, the Northern Force decoyed Admiral William F. Halsey’s U.S. Third Fleet away from Leyte. On the 25th, once again heading into battle, Kurita’s Central Force emerged from San Bernardino Strait and closed with the transports and supply ships off Leyte. While only six American escort carriers and seven destroyer types were there to protect the landing forces, they fought so ferociously that Kurita withdrew. The U.S. Navy sank 23 major enemy warships in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. The Japanese navy never again threatened America’s control of the sea.

LINGAYEN GULF In early January 1945, a powerful force of U.S. and Australian battleships, cruisers, and destroyers under Rear Admiral Jesse B. Oldendorf entered Lingayen Gulf and began bombarding enemy positions near the town of Lingayen. This advanced force accomplished its mission, even in the face of furious enemy Kamikaze attacks that sank or heavily damaged twenty five ships. On the 9th, Vice Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid, Commander Seventh Fleet and commander of the Luzon Attack Force (CTF 77), ordered Vice Admiral Daniel E. Barbey and Vice Admiral Theodore S. Wilkinson, amphibious task force commanders, to land four infantry divisions of Army Lieutenant General Walter Krueger’s U.S. Sixth Army. The ground forces quickly moved ashore and established a secure beachhead. The liberation of the island of Luzon, last major refuge of the Japanese army in the Philippines had thus begun.

OKINAWA On 1 April 1945, the Pacific Fleet deployed thousands of U.S. and British naval vessels off the western coast of the large Japanese island of Okinawa. In Operation Iceberg, Admiral Raymond A. Spruance’s U.S. Fifth Fleet landed a force that eventually totaled 183,000 men and consisted of the 1st Marine Division, 6th Marine Division, and four Army infantry divisions, all under Army Lieutenant General Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr. The landing force quickly and relatively bloodlessly secured all but the southern third of the island. On 6 April however, the Japanese command launched 700 conventional and Kamikaze suicide planes on the first of many assaults against the Allied fleet. The enemy eventually sank 34 U.S. naval vessels, severely damaged hundreds more, and killed 5,000 sailors. And after early April, the war ashore became just as bloody. The relentless Allied ground assault that took until 21 June to destroy the 100,000-man enemy army cost the lives of General Buckner and 7,600 Marines and soldiers. Fortunately for all, the bloodiest battle of the Pacific war was to be its last.

BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC In a titanic struggle that lasted from the outbreak of World War II in September 1939 to the defeat of Nazi Germany in May 1945, U.S., British, Canadian, and German naval and air forces battled for control of the sea lanes of the Atlantic. German land-based aircraft, surface warships, and U-boats, the latter often operating in “Wolf Packs,” attempted to prevent merchant ships from delivering food and military cargoes to Great Britain and the Soviet Union. German Admiral Karl Doenitz’s submarines sank 3,500 merchantmen and 175 warships but failed to starve Britain into submission or prevent U.S. and other Allied troops from reaching Europe. The Allies employed intelligence codebreaking and innovative tactics involving convoys, surface escorts and aerial patrols, advanced sonar equipment, and lethal antisubmarine weapons to defeat the enemy threat. By May 1945, Allied naval and air forces had sunk 783 U-boats, many of which went down with their entire crew.

NORTH AFRICA In Operation Torch, on 8 November 1942 the Allied nations carried out the first major amphibious assault in the European/Mediterranean theater of World War II. The object of the landing and later ground campaign was to free Vichy France’s African territories from the German grip and to defeat General Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps. In separate operations, Allied naval task forces landed 107,000 American and British troops at Casablanca in French Morocco and at Oran and Algiers in Algeria. Because Vichy French forces resisted at Casablanca, American ships and aircraft were compelled to destroy a number of warships, submarines, and aircraft. Overcoming initial but scattered resistance from Vichy French forces ashore, Allied ground troops quickly secured Morocco and Algeria and launched an offensive against German and Italian forces holding Tunisia. On 13 May 1943, Allied commanders accepted the surrender of all German and Italian forces in North Africa.

IWO JIMA The February-March 1945 amphibious assault on the island of Iwo Jima proved to be one of the most bloody and drawn-out but memorable battles of World War II. Beginning on 19 February, naval forces under Vice Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner landed the 4th Marine Division and 5th Marine Division on the eight-square-mile volcanic island. A force of 21,000 Japanese soldiers under Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi awaited them in heavily fortified positions on Mount Suribachi in the south and high ground to the north. The Marines stormed the mountain and raised “Old Glory” on the 23rd but the battle was far from over. Not until the troops, reinforced by the 6th Marine Division and supported by continuous naval and air support, had destroyed the enemy garrison did fighting cease. The battle that ended on 24 March cost the lives of more than 6,000 American Marines and sailors but it established U.S. military power only 660 miles from Tokyo.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I STADIUM BATTLES SICILY On 10 July 1943, 1,400 Allied ships and landing craft deployed eight American and British divisions on the Italian island of Sicily, defended by 350,000 Italian and German troops. Vice Admiral H. Kent Hewitt’s Western Naval Task Force, a major component of the overall 470,000 Allied military host, deployed three divisions of General George S. Patton’s Seventh Army at Gela. The amphibious contingent complemented units of paratroopers dropped behind the beaches the night before. Naval gunfire from light cruisers Boise (CL 47) and Savannah (CL 42) and eight destroyers helped turn back an attack on 11 July by German troops that threatened the American beachhead. By early August, Allied ground troops had driven enemy forces from the island and were preparing to invade Italy itself.

SALERNO The first major Allied amphibious assault against Hitler’s “Fortress Europe” occurred at Salerno in southern Italy on 9 September 1943.

Supported by Vice Admiral H. Kent Hewitt’s Allied naval force, American General Mark Clark’s Fifth Army quickly secured a beachhead. The Germans reacted just as quickly, reinforcing their defending units and deploying heavy artillery and armored vehicles to stop an Allied move inland. U.S. Navy warships were instrumental in defeating strong German attacks against beachhead forces. With the help of naval bombardment, Clark’s army broke out of the confined coastal zone and linked up with British General Sir Bernard L. Montgomery’s Eighth Army on the 16th.

ANZIO Hoping to outflank German forces that had delayed the Allied advance through southern Italy for much of late 1943, on 22 January 1944 Rear Admiral Frank J. Lowry’s naval task force landed American and British troops at Anzio just southwest of Rome. The amphibious forces, however, proved unable to break through the increasingly strong German defenses that featured tank, artillery, and elite infantry units.

In fact, only heavy and sustained naval gunfire and air support by U.S. and British warships prevented the enemy from overwhelming the Allied ground troops. Finally, American General Mark Clark’s 5th Army pushed up from the south and broke through to the beleaguered beachhead force on 25 May. The linkup enabled the Allied armies to proceed with the liberation of Rome on 4 June.

NORMANDY The long anticipated liberation of German-occupied Western Europe began on 6 June 1944 when Allied ground, air, and naval forces under U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower assaulted Hitler’s army on the beaches of France’s Normandy peninsula. That day Allied naval forces transported invasion troops across the English Channel from Great Britain, kept German U-boats at bay, cleared safe lanes through enemy minefields, and blasted open breaches in coastal defenses.

Supported by almost 7,000 Allied naval vessels, thousands of aircraft, and three airborne divisions, in Operation Overlord American, British, and Canadian troops stormed ashore. Helped by accurate and sustained naval gunfire, especially at Omaha Beach, by nightfall more than 130,000 ground troops had carved out a defensible beachhead.

Artificial harbors and piers installed by Seabees and other support units facilitated an almost uninterrupted flow shoreward of tanks, trucks, supplies, ammunition, and reinforcements. The successful D-Day landing marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany.

SOUTHERN FRANCE In Operation Dragoon, on 15August 1944 Vice Admiral H. Kent Hewitt’s Western Naval Task Force landed the 3rd, 36th, and 45th infantry divisions of General Lucian K. Truscott’s U.S. VI Corps at several beaches in southern France. Free French troops reinforced the initial assault units. The object of the operation was to open up additional French ports for the logistic support of the ground offensive against Germany. By the end of August, U.S. and French forces under American Lieutenant General Jacob L. Devers, commander of the U.S. 6th Army Group, had broken through relatively weak enemy defenses, liberated Marseilles and Toulon, and pushed forward into central France to link up with the Allied armies advancing from Normandy.

PUSAN PERIMETER Several weeks after the 25 June 1950 North Korean invasion of the Republic of (South) Korea, enemy tank and infantry forces pushed U.S. and South Korean ground troops into the southeast corner of the peninsula behind the Naktong River. To prevent the North Koreans from seizing the port of Pusan, vital to the continued defense of South Korea, the U.S. Navy transported the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade and Army infantry divisions to the “Pusan Perimeter.” Cruisers and destroyers sank enemy combat and supply vessels and bombarded enemy troops and transport vehicles using coastal roads. Navy carrierbased squadrons pummeled airfields and military depots in North Korea and naval aircraft provided allied troops with close air support. By midSeptember, this naval support, along with hard fighting by allied ground troops, had stalled and indeed crippled the enemy offensive.

INCHON-SEOUL In one of the most dramatic amphibious assaults in military history, on 15 September 1950 the 230 ships of Vice Admiral Arthur D. Struble’s Joint Task Force 7/U.S. Seventh Fleet, under the overall command of General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, deployed the 1st Marine Division, South Korean marines, and elements of the Army’s 7th Infantry Division behind enemy lines at Inchon on Korea’s west coast.

With the naval gunfire support of U.S. and allied warships and the close air support of carrier squadrons, the ground forces in Operation Chromite seized the port, and by the end of September captured Seoul, the capital of South Korea. The Inchon assault and the breakout from the Pusan Perimeter of allied troops compelled the beaten enemy to flee in disorder to North Korea. The Inchon landing proved to be one of the war’s key turning points and a classic demonstration of sea power.

CHOSIN RESERVOIR On 27 November 1950, eight divisions of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army launched an all-out attack on the 1st Marine Division and other allied troops deployed near the Chosin (Changjin) Reservoir in the snow-covered, frigid mountains of North Korea. Although heavily outnumbered, the Marines badly bloodied their Chinese attackers and fought their way out of the potential trap to reach Hungnam on the Sea of Japan. Helping them make that epic fighting withdrawal were Navy carrier and Marine shore-based aircraft, Seventh Fleet battleships, cruisers, and destroyers, and Royal Marine Commandoes. In a masterful operation, by 24 December Rear Admiral James H. Doyle’s Task Force 90 had evacuated from Hungnam 105,000 allied troops, 91,000 civilian refugees, 350,000 tons of cargo, and 17,500 military vehicles. The troops were soon back in the fight to defend the Republic of Korea against its Communist attackers.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I STADIUM BATTLES WONSAN SIEGE From 16 February 1951 to the end of the Korean War on 27 July 1953, U.S. and allied naval forces mounted an 861-day operation to deny North Korea the use of its most important port and nearby coastal areas on the Sea of Japan. U.S. Seventh Fleet, South Korean, British, Canadian, Australian, and other warships, including battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and rocket ships, pounded enemy coastal batteries, supply depots, trains and tracks all along the coast. The naval forces prevented the enemy from using offshore waters for their own military purposes. The United Nations’ navies also landed commandoes and special forces troops on the enemy coastline for sabotage operations.

South Korean marines occupied and held a number of islands in the harbor.

38TH PARALLEL Following China’s intervention into the Korean War in late 1950, UN and Communist forces executed a number of offensives and counteroffensives, with the front lines eventually stabilizing near the 38th parallel between North and South Korea. From the summer of 1951 to the summer of 1953, the contending armies fought over key mountains, ridges, and valleys in the rugged region. The 1st Marine Division took part in many bloody operations with such names as “Killer” and “Ripper” and often served as the spearhead of allied offensives.

Marines, along with their Navy doctors, corpsmen, and chaplains, would long remember the “Punchbowl,” “Horseshoe Ridge,” “Bunker Hill,” and other sites because of the ferocity of the fighting there. Navy warships and carrier planes and Marine shore-based aviation squadrons routinely backed up their Marine and Navy comrades on the ground.

LEBANON The July 1958 deployment of the U.S. Sixth Fleet and three Marine battalion landing teams to Lebanon in the Eastern Mediterranean was similar in many ways to naval contingency operations executed around the globe and throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered the operation because he was concerned that both external and internal forces threatened to destabilize the pro-American government of Lebanon. Army and Air Force units reinforced the naval contingent. Aircraft from carriers Essex (CV 9), Saratoga (CV 60), and Wasp (CV 18) overflew the country to protect the forces afloat and ashore. This visible U.S. support deterred further action by its foreign and domestic antagonists and promoted political stability in Lebanon.

CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS During this crisis in the fall of 1962, when the United States and the Soviet Union came as close as they ever would to a nuclear conflict, the U.S. Navy demonstrated the value of sea power in settling international confrontations short of war. When President John F. Kennedy discovered that the Soviet Union had deployed nuclear-capable missiles and longrange bombers to Cuba in the Caribbean, he ordered the Navy to prevent further seaborne deliveries. The fleet’s aircraft carriers, surface warships, attack submarines, and patrol aircraft deployed in force to the Atlantic and the Caribbean, highlighting U.S. strength and Soviet weakness. Recognizing this fact, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to withdraw the offending weapons from Cuba. Thus, the Navy accomplished the President’s goal of reducing the threat to America without having to order an invasion of Cuba and war.

MEKONG DELTA U.S. and South Vietnamese forces fought Communist troops for control of this populace and vital region, the food-growing bread basket of the Republic of Vietnam. Naval forces were especially critical to allied success in the Mekong Delta, laced by many miles of rivers, streams, canals, and other waterways. In 1966 the U.S. Navy established the River Patrol Force to conduct Operation Game Warden and to complement the river assault groups of the Vietnam Navy. The following year saw the creation of the Mobile Riverine Force, a joint Army-Navy formation employing two infantry brigades and a flotilla of heavily armed and armored river craft. The MRF fought heavy battles with main-force enemy units and proved to be a valuable asset during the Tet Offensive

of 1968. In the SEALORDS Campaign from 1968 to 1970, U.S. and South Vietnamese naval forces severely curtailed enemy operations in the Mekong Delta.

I CORPS-DMZ From the first deployment of major Marine forces to Danang in March 1965 to their withdrawal from the country in 1973, the 1st Marine Division, 3rd Marine Division, and Marine advisory teams operated in the I Corps military region of northern South Vietnam. Some of the heaviest battles occurred near the Demilitarized Zone that separated North Vietnam and South Vietnam. Marine infantry units, with their assigned Navy corpsmen, doctors, and chaplains, fought sometimes fleeting engagements with Viet Cong guerrillas in I Corps but just as often main-force North Vietnamese regulars armed with heavy artillery, advanced infantry weapons, and on occasion armored vehicles. Gunfire from battleship New Jersey (BB 62), heavy cruisers, and U.S. and Australian destroyers, and air support from carrier- and shore-based naval aircraft often made the difference between victory and defeat in this hotly contested region.

KHE SANH In early 1967, the U.S. commander in Vietnam, General William C. Westmoreland, deployed Marine combat forces to the rudimentary airstrip and combat outpost at Khe Sanh in the northwest corner of South Vietnam. His goal was to contest the strong enemy presence in the area and in nearby Laos, site of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. North Vietnamese forces responded by isolating the base from ground support, concentrating powerful infantry units around it, and bombarding it with artillery and rocket fire. While concerned that the enemy might try to overrun Khe Sanh, Westmoreland saw an opportunity to devastate the massed enemy forces with air power. During the first months of 1968 Air Force B-52 bombers and Marine and Navy tactical aircraft took a huge toll of the attacking forces. With this support, the 26th Marines, a detachment of Navy Seabees, and South Vietnamese troops fought off all enemy ground assaults on Khe Sanh.

HUE In the Tet Offensive, on 30 January 1968 Vietnamese Communist troops launched attacks on U.S., South Vietnamese, and allied forces in all but a few of the provinces and cities of the Republic of Vietnam.

One of the enemy’s prime targets was the old imperial capital of Hue in northern South Vietnam. In a surprise attack, enemy forces seized much of the city, including the thick-walled ancient citadel. Once in control, the Communists executed thousands of innocent civilians. Recovering from the initial shock, U.S. Marine and South Vietnamese forces launched a counterattack that the Navy reinforced with naval gunfire and logistic support. Bitter and bloody house-to-house fighting caused more than 1,000 American casualties. On 2 March, after three months of heavy combat, U.S. and South Vietnamese marines finally ejected enemy forces from the city.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I STADIUM BATTLES TONKIN GULF Throughout the Vietnam War, the U. S. Navy projected seapower ashore from a staging area in the Gulf of Tonkin called Yankee Station.

Aircraft operating from the Seventh Fleet’s Task Force 77 carriers at Yankee Station (as well as shore bases in South Vietnam) bombed targets in North and South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia and destroyed 60 enemy MiGs and other aircraft in air-to-air combat. Vietnamese, Laotian, and Chinese Communist air defense units shot down 1,125 Navy and Marine Corps aircraft and captured 156 men. 816 Navy and Marine aviators and other air crewmen died in the line of duty. U.S. search and rescue aircraft, often braving heavy enemy fire, retrieved many air crewmen from the jungle and the sea.

Routinely, three or four aircraft carriers concentrated their firepower against targets around Haiphong and Hanoi and in the “panhandle” of southern North Vietnam. Cruisers, destroyers (American and Australian), and for a time battleship USS New Jersey (BB 62) shelled targets within reach of their guns all along the North Vietnamese coast.

Air strikes of Operation Rolling Thunder from 1965 to 1968 did not completely cut enemy supply lines between North and South Vietnam but did weaken and complicate enemy combat operations throughout the war zone. In the Linebacker I campaign during 1972, Navy and Marine aircraft from six carriers closed all of North Vietnam’s ports with sea mines and attacked bridges, rail yards, air defense sites, and fuel depots throughout the country. When North Vietnamese negotiators at the peace talks in Paris proved intractable, an even heavier bombing campaign, Linebacker II, finally helped persuade Hanoi to cease its delaying tactics. The belligerents signed the Paris Peace Accords on 27 January 1973.

PERSIAN GULF Since 1949, U.S. naval forces have operated regularly in the Persian Gulf to defend U.S. interests. The work could be dangerous, as shown when an Iraqi jet mistook guided missile frigate Stark (FFG 31) for an enemy ship in 1987 and nearly sank her with air-to-surface missiles.

The following year Iranian naval vessels harassed oil tankers in transit and laid mines in heavily traveled gulf waters. The severe damage to guided missile frigate Samuel B. Roberts (FFG 58) from an Iranianlaid sea mine prompted Operation Praying Mantis in April 1988 during which carrier aircraft, surface warships, and Marine units destroyed two Iranian military platforms in the gulf and sank a pair of naval vessels.

From 1990 to 2003, U.S. naval forces enforced an embargo of Iraq’s overseas trade to dampen Saddam Hussein’s aggressive behavior. For the same reason, carrier aircraft flew patrols over Iraq in operations Southern Watch and Northern Watch.

BOSNIA With the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991, the Serb, Croat, and Muslim populations of Bosnia-Herzegovina fought to establish their own political entities. The Bosnian Serbs, militarily supported by Slobodan Milosevich’s Serbia, engaged in the “ethnic cleansing” of areas they wanted to populate. Serbs, but also Croats and Muslims committed atrocities. To stop the killing, from 30 August to 20 September 1995 NATO carried out a sustained air campaign, under U.S. Admiral Leighton Smith, that involved forces from 15 nations, including carriers Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) and America (CV 66) and their escorting cruisers and destroyers. U.S. and other NATO warships and submarines patrolled the Adriatic Sea. In one notable operation, elements of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit operating from amphibious assault ship Kearsarge (LHD 3) rescued downed Air Force pilot Scott O’Grady.

The successful air campaign compelled Milosevich to sign the Dayton Accords ending the conflict in December 1995.

KOSOVO Atrocities committed by Serb forces under Serbia’s Slobodan Milosevich against the Muslim citizens of Kosovo Province prompted the North American Treaty Organization to intervene in the conflict in Operation Allied Force. From 24 March to 10 June 1999, Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), screened by cruisers and destroyers, as well as British, French, and Italian carriers struck targets in Belgrade and other sites in Serbia. NATO aircraft flew 38,000 combat missions during the

conflict. U.S. and British submarines and surface ships operating in the Adriatic complemented the air campaign with Tomahawk cruise missile strikes. The military operation, led by U.S. Army General Wesley Clark, combined with diplomatic pressure, economic sanctions, and the threat of a ground intervention into Kosovo, compelled Milosevich to submit to NATO’s requirements for a ceasefire.

AFGHANISTAN Less than one month after the 11 September 2001 Al-Qaeda terrorist attack on America, U.S. military forces deployed to Afghanistan to destroy Osama Bin Laden’s organization and the Taliban government in Kabul supporting it. In Operation Enduring Freedom, U.S. and British cruisers, destroyers, and submarines operating in the North Arabian Sea fired Tomahawk cruise missiles and Kitty Hawk (CV 63) and other carriers launched air strikes and special forces units against targets in Afghanistan. Early in the war, naval aviation units carried out 85 percent of the U.S. strike operations. In November 2001 the 15th and 26th Marine Expeditionary Units deployed hundreds of miles inland from amphibious ships in the North Arabian Sea to Afghanistan’s southern desert and shortly afterward captured Kandahar City, spiritual birthplace of the Taliban. In 2009 the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade led a surge of U.S. and NATO forces into southern Afghanistan and since that time Marine and Navy units have worked with the Afghan National Army to secure the country.

IRAQ When Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi army invaded Kuwait in August 1990, President George H.W. Bush deployed U.S. military forces to defend Saudi Arabia and other friendly Persian Gulf countries. On 17 January 1991, when it was clear Saddam would not withdraw his troops from Kuwait, U.S. and allied UN forces inaugurated Operation Desert Storm.

During the next five weeks, Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from two battleships, other surface warships, and submarines, and aircraft from six carriers hit military targets in Kuwait and Iraq. U.S. and allied naval forces neutralized the Iraqi navy and cleared paths through enemy minefields. On 24 February, the UN coalition launched a ground assault into Kuwait and Iraq spearheaded by the 1st Marine Division and 2nd Marine Division under the I Marine Expeditionary Force.

The Desert Storm campaign compelled the Iraqi dictator to sue for peace only four days later. Several years later, frustrated by Saddam Hussein’s aggressive behavior and persuaded that his regime harbored weapons of mass destruction, on 20 March 2003 the United States and a “coalition of the willing” launched an invasion of Iraq, Operation Iraqi Freedom. Supported by U.S. Navy and other coalition warships, Marine, SEAL, and British ground combat units seized critical oil fields in southern Iraq and the port of Umm Qasr. Meanwhile Navy carriers, surface warships, and submarines launched aircraft and cruise missiles at military targets throughout the country. The I Marine Expeditionary Force then fought a major battle at Nasiriyah and along with U.S. Army divisions stormed Baghdad on 9 April. Despite this victory, it took another eleven years for the U.S. naval services and other allied units to defeat a bloody insurgency, reduce sectarian violence, and develop capable Iraqi military and police forces. By the end of 2011 President Barak Obama had withdrawn all U.S. forces from Iraq.

The Battle Names memorialized on the facade of this stadium have been made possible by the Class of 1966 in honor of their gallant Classmates who gave their lives in the service of their country.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY As the undergraduate college of the Naval service, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women to become professional officers and leaders in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Naval Academy students are midshipmen on active duty in the U.S. Navy. They attend the academy for four years, graduating with a bachelor of science degree and commissioned as ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Naval Academy graduates serve at least five years as Navy or Marine Corps officers.

Founded in 1845 by Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, the Academy started as the Naval School on 10 acres of old Fort Severn in Annapolis with an original class of 55. In 1850 the Naval School became the United States Naval Academy. A new curriculum went into effect requiring midshipmen to study at the Academy for four years and to train aboard ships each summer.

Congress authorized the Naval Academy to begin awarding bachelor of science degrees in 1933. Today, the Academy offers 24 major fields of study, a wide variety of elective courses and advanced study and research opportunities.

USNA Mission Statement “To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order to graduate leaders who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have potential for future development in mind and character to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government.”

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I ACADEMY HISTORY AND TRADITIONS From the first athletic competition played on the gridiron in 1879 to Navy’s recent triumphs, several events, people, rivalries and personalities have shaped the entire Naval Academy athletic program.

Below is a look at just some of the history and traditions that make Navy one of the most storied programs in all of collegiate athletics.

Blue & Gold

This song was written in 1923 by Cmdr. Roy DeS. Horn, USN (Ret.) with music composed by J.W. Crosley. Following every home athletic competition, the team faces its fans with their hands on their heart and sings the following:

Anchors Aweigh

“Anchors Aweigh” was written by Lt. Charles Zimmermann, Musical Director of the Naval Academy in 1906, with the lyrics provided

by Alfred H. Miles of the Class of 1906, as a fight song for the 1907 graduating class instead of the usual class march Zimmermann had composed for previous classes.

The song made its debut at the 1906 Army-Navy game, and when the Midshipmen won the game, the song became traditional at this game. It gained national exposure in the 1920s and 1930s when it was heard on the radio and was in a number of popular movies. In 1997 a one-hour documentary on the history of Navy football, titled “Anchors Aweigh for Honor and Glory”, was produced by NFL Films. The film was deemed a success by both critics and fans alike. Here are the words: Stand Navy down the field, Sails set to the sky, We’ll never change our course, So Army you steer shy.

Roll up the score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh, Sail Navy down the field, And sink the Army, Sink the Army Grey

Now, colleges from sea to sea May sing of colors true; But who has better right than we To hoist a symbol hue?

For sailors brave in battle fair, Since fighting days of old, Have proved the sailor’s right to wear The Navy Blue and Gold

Enterprise Bell

From the bridge of the famed World War II aircraft carrier, it has been a part of the Naval Academy tradition since 1950. The late Admiral Harry W. Hill, then Superintendent, was instrumental in bringing the “E” Bell to Annapolis. It rings during special ceremonies when Navy scores a majority of victories over Army in any one of the three sports seasons.

The bell also rings during Commissioning Week for those teams that beat Army and have not participated in a previous bell-ringing during the academic year. The bell is stationed in front of Bancroft Hall.

Gokokuji Bell

The bell is an exact replica of the 1456 casting brought to this country

by Commodore Matthew C. Perry following his expedition to Japan in 1854. The original bell, donated to the Naval Academy by Commodore Perry’s widow, was returned by the Navy to the people of Okinama in 1987. Like the original bell, the replica is rung to celebrate football victories over Army. The bell is stationed in front of Bancroft Hall.

Bancroft Hall

Named after former Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, the Hall is home for the entire Brigade of Midshipmen. It contains 1,873 midshipmen rooms, nearly five miles of corridors and approximately 33 acres of floor space, making it one of the largest single dormitories in the world. All of the basic facilities midshipmen need for daily living, and many for recreation, are found in the Hall.

Bill the Goat

The first recorded use of a goat mascot for Navy athletic teams was in 1893 when an animal named El Cid (The Chief) was turned over to the Brigade by young officers of the USS New York. El Cid helped Navy to a 6-4 triumph over Army that year. Two cats, a dog, and a carrier pigeon have also enjoyed brief reigns as the Navy mascot, but goats have served without interruption since 1904. Bill XXXIII and XXXIV are the current mascots. They are taken care of by 15 goathandlers made up of five midshipmen from the first, second and third classes. The goathandlers undergo rigorous training prior to handling Bill on the field.

IB Believe elieve T That hat We Will Win

“I Believe That We Will Win” is one of the most popular sports chants in the country, and while often replicated, the chant can trace its roots back to the Naval Academy.

In 1998 at the Naval Academy Preparatory School, Jay Rodriguez was tasked to come up with a cheer for his platoon. He began by chanting the word “I” and then asked his classmates to chant it back. He then said “I Believe” and again asked them to chant it back. This continued until the full phrase of “I Believe That We Will Win” was completed and it was then repeated multiple times in unison while everyone jumped up and down. The chant made its sporting event debut at the Army Prep vs. Navy Prep men’s basketball game in Newport, R.I. that year.

The following year, Rodriguez was a plebe at the Naval Academy and he taught the chant to classmate Corey Strong, a member of the cheerleading team. During Navy’s 19-9 win over Army at the 1999 Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia, Strong led the Brigade of Midshipmen, over 4,000 strong, to a stirring rendition that helped the chant reach a new level of prominence.

Midshipmen have since been performing the chant at football games and other sporting events in the closing minutes of games in which a Navy victory is imminent.

Tecumseh T ecumseh

The familiar Native American figurehead facing Bancroft Hall and Tecumseh Court has been an Annapolis resident since 1866. Originally, the figurehead of the USS Delaware was meant to portray Tamanend, the great chief of the Delawares. It developed that Tamanend was a lover of peace and did not strike the fancy of the Brigade. Looking for another name, Midshipmen referred to the figurehead as Powhatan and King Philip before finally settling on Tecumseh, the fierce Shawnee chieftain who lived from 1768-1813. The original wooden statue was replaced after some 50 years in the open weather by a durable bronze replica, presented by the Class of 1891. It is considered a good-luck “mascot” for the midshipmen, who in times past would throw pennies at it and offer left-handed salutes whenever they wanted a ‘favor’, such as a sports win over West Point, or spiritual help for examinations. These days it receives a fresh coat of war paint and is often decorated in various themes during football weeks and other special occasions such as Commissioning Week.

Midshipman

The word midshipman first appeared in English in the 17th century in the form of the word midshipman to designate those men who were stationed “amidships,” i.e. in the waist or middle portion of the vessel, while on duty. By 1687, however, the second ‘s’ had been dropped to give the current form of the word. Midshipmen were originally boys, sometimes as young as seven or eight, who were apprenticed to sea captains to learn the sailor’s trade.

In the early days of the American Navy, midshipmen trained aboard ship until they were eventually commissioned as ensigns. With the founding of the Naval Academy in 1845, it became possible, as it still is, for a midshipman to enter the Navy directly from civilian life. The name of students at the Naval Academy changed several times between 1870 and 1902, when Congress restored the original title of Midshipman, and it has remained unchanged since.

N-Star

Members of varsity teams who qualify for their varsity letter receive an N-Star if they participate in a victory over Army in any sport’s designated “Star” competition. Navy is 16-0-1 against Army over the last 17 years in the Star series and is 30-3-2 over the last 35 years.

This was the case when Navy earned its lone national championship in 1926, as the Midshipmen shared the honor with Stanford and Alabama.

A 7-7 tie between Alabama and Stanford in the 1926 Rose Bowl gave the Cardinal a 10-0-1 mark, while the Crimson Tide and the Mids each had identical 9-0-1 records.

The Midshipmen opened the ‘26 season with a new coach, Bill Ingram.

A former Navy standout from 1916-1918, Ingram took over a Navy team that had only won seven games in the previous two seasons combined. One of the keys to Navy’s 1926 squad was a potent offense led by All-America tackle and team captain Frank Wickhorst, who proved to be a punishing blocker for the Navy offense. One member of the Navy offense that appreciated the blocking of Wickhorst was Tom Hamilton. The quarterback and kicker had a pair of 100-yard rushing games en route to All-America honors.

Navy’s biggest win that year was against Michigan in front of 80,000 fans in Baltimore. The Mids scored 10 second-half points to upset the Wolverines, 10-0. Navy’s offense tallied 165 yards behind the powering attack of Hamilton and Henry Caldwell who scored Navy’s lone touchdown on a one-yard plunge. Jubilation from the victory continued after the game, as the Midshipmen tore down the goal post at each end of the field and carried away all the markers that lined both sides of the field. The joy replaced the disappointment of the previous year when Michigan handed Navy its worst loss in school history at the time, 54-0.

Navy headed into its season finale against Army with a 9-0 record. The game was to be played in Chicago at Soldier Field, which had been built as a memorial to the men killed in World War I. It was only natural Army and Navy would be invited to play the inaugural contest there. James R. Harrison of the New York Times described the game as “the greatest of its time and as a national spectacle.” Over 110,000 people witnessed the Midshipmen open up a 14-0 lead on the Cadets, only to see Army fight back to take a 21-14 lead early in the third quarter. The Navy offense responded behind its strong ground game led by running back Alan Shapley. On fourth down and three yards to go, Shapley ran eight yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 21. As the final quarter concluded, Army mounted a brief threat only to miss a 25-yard field goal.

The tie gave the Midshipmen a share of the national championship, as a pair of polls, Boand and Houlgate, named Navy the national champion.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I JOE BELLINO H 1960 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER JO In 1960, Joe Bellino, the Winchester Rifle, the “player who was never caught from behind,” became the first Naval Academy football player to win football’s coveted Heisman Trophy. That achievement merely underscored what an outstanding athlete Bellino was.

His football feats are even more remarkable when it is pointed out that he played the sport in the one-platoon era, with players going both ways.

His collegiate statistics had him, in just three years, score 31 touchdowns, rush for 1,664 yards on 330 carries, return 37 kicks for 833 more yards and altogether set 15 Naval Academy football records.

One of the most interesting stories about Bellino’s on-field exploits involves his 50-yard touchdown run against Boston College in the 1959 season opener. As he crossed the goal line, he began to limp and fell to the ground. Navy partisans looked on anxiously, thinking he had incurred an injury.

Not so. The Midshipmen were wearing new knee length socks for the first time that day. Bellino’s calves were as a thick as some men’s thighs. The elastic rims on the top of the stockings had cut off his circulation and his feet had turned blue because of a lack of circulation. Those socks were cut to allow him to continue to play that day and new socks were ordered.

Bellino was a unanimous All-America selection at halfback in 1960 and was also the winner of the Maxwell Award. His end zone interception preserved Navy’s 17-12 win over Army that season. The Midshipmen were ranked as a high as fourth in the country and went on to play in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 1961.

Bellino was an outstanding catcher and later outfielder on Navy baseball teams. He hit .428 in 22 games in 1959 and led the Eastern Intercollegiate League in stolen bases. He had a .320 average in 1960 and was the baseball team captain in 1961.

Army partisans can hardly forget the 1959-60 academic year for what Bellino did to the Cadets.

In addition to his three-touchdown performance in the 1959 Army-Navy game, he was equally sensational in the Army-Navy baseball game of Commissioning Week in 1960. The Cadets had won the Eastern League title and their pitcher had won nine games in a row. Bellino went 4-for-4 at the plate, drove in three runs, stole two bases and threw out two Army runners attempting to steal as Navy carved out a 9-1 win.

He capped off his senior year (1960-61) at the Academy by winning the school’s top two athletic awards, the Thompson Trophy and the Naval Academy Athletic Association Sword, marking

the first time in 41 years that one midshipman received both of these awards.

Bellino’s number 27 jersey was retired after the 1960 season. He had a three-year stint with the Boston Patriots after he had completed his fouryear service obligation. He stayed in the Navy Reserves and reached the rank of Captain.

Bellino was a 1977 inductee into the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame and was a charter inductee into the Maryland Football Shrine in 1984.

The Bellino Auditorium in Ricketts Hall is named after this outstanding athlete.

In 2009, he was named to the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial All-Stadium team.

Bellino is semi-retired after working for 40 years in the auto leasing and auction industry. His son, John, is a 1989 graduate of the Naval Academy, and his daughter, Therese, is a public school teacher in Cambridge, Mass.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I ROGER STAUBACH H 1963 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER Known as “Roger the Dodger,” Roger Staubach has scrambled his way to success as a college athlete, an All-Pro NFL quarterback and as a successful businessman.

In 1963, Staubach became the second Naval Academy football player in four years to win the Heisman Trophy. It was his junior season with the Midshipmen, and all he did was lead Navy to a ranking of second in the country and a berth in the Cotton Bowl, where he set Bowl records for pass completions (21-of-31) and yards passing (228).

The Midshipmen posted wins over West Virginia, Michigan, Notre Dame and Maryland that season.

He completed 106 passes in 161 attempts for 1,474 yards, while earning consensus All-America honors, as well as the Maxwell Trophy and Walter Camp Memorial Trophy.

At one time, Staubach, who was hampered by injuries in his senior season of 1964, had set 28 Naval Academy records in football. He also had some outstanding performances as a varsity baseball player and a brief but significant moment as a varsity basketball player. He lettered in baseball three-straight years (1963-65) as an outfielder and pitcher. In 1963, he hit .420, and in 1965 he was the team captain. He also won a letter in basketball in 1962-63.

Staubach was the recipient of the Thompson Trophy Cup at the Academy for threeconsecutive years and was the 1965 winner of the Naval Academy Athletic Association Sword. He was the first sophomore to win the Thompson Trophy Cup and is its only three-time winner. He was only the fourth midshipman since 1900 to win both the Thompson Trophy Cup and NAAA Sword.

After four years in the U. S. Navy, including a tour in Vietnam, Staubach joined the Dallas Cowboys and led that team to unprecedented heights. Again, displaying the daring play he had shown at Navy, Staubach directed the Cowboys to 23 fourth-quarter comeback wins, 14 in the final two minutes of a game or in overtime. He played 11 season with the Cowboys and led them to the Super Bowl four times, including world championships in 1972 and 1978. The Cowboys were 90-31 with Staubach as their starting quarterback.

Among his awards were the NFL Players Association Most Valuable Player and The Sporting News NFL Player of the Year in 1971, Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl VI (1972), Washington Touchdown Club NFC Player of the Year in 1976 and 1978, NFC Pro Bowl selection five times, the Vince Lombardi Sportsman of the Year Award in 1975, NFL Players’ Association NFC Offensive Player of the Year (1978), and the Byron “Whizzer” White Humanitarian Award in 1979.

Staubach was named Walter Camp Foundation Man of the Year in 1985, was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985, his first year of eligibility, and inducted into the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame in 1981.

The football locker room in Ricketts Hall was named in his honor in 1996 and in 2008, Staubach received the National Football Foundation’s Gold Medal, the highest honor one can receive from that organization. Staubach has also been honored as a “Distinguished Graduate” of the United States Naval Academy.

He recently was named to the Walter Camp AllCentury Team, was elected into the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame, spearheaded a successful movement to land North Texas and the Dallas Cowboys the Super Bowl in 2011 and was named to the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium All-Stadium Team.

Staubach is a member of the Board of Directors at Jones Lang LaSalle.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I CHET GLADCHUK H DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

GLADCHUK’S RESUMÉ 14TH YEAR at NAVY _____________________ ADMINISTRATIVE BACKGROUND Associate Athletics Director Syracuse, 1985-87 Director of Athletics Tulane, 1987-90 Director of Athletics Boston College, 1990-97 Director of Athletics Houston, 1997-2001

In his 13 years as Director of Athletics, Chet Gladchuk has overseen a renaissance of the Naval Academy athletic program. His administrative leadership has helped lead the program to one of the most successful periods in school history.

The 2013-14 season was another successful year for Navy athletics as the Midshipmen won 64 percent of their contests, produced 16 AllAmericans, 12 conference coaches of the year, 16 conference athletes of the year and 12 conference championships.

Additionally, Navy won the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, which is awarded to the member institution with the highest cumulative sports point total based on conference championships and final regular season standings in sponsored men’s and women’s sports, for the second time in the last three years.

Navy got it done in the classroom as well, ranking in the top 10 among schools with FBS football programs in graduation rates at 90 percent. The Mids had seven Academic AllAmericans and three Patriot League ScholarAthletes of the Year.

Gladchuk has engineered Navy’s move to the American Athletic Conference in football starting in 2015. Navy will play in the Western Division of the AAC with Houstin, Memphis, SMU, Tulane and Tulsa. The Eastern Division will be made up of Cincinnati, Connecticut, East Carolina, South Florida, Temple and UCF. The move to the AAC will continue to secure Navy’s future as a strong national FBS football program for the future.

Gladchuk’s efforts have been recognized on a national level, as the Division IA Athletic

Directors Association named him the 2005 Bobby Dodd Athletic Director of the Year. The award is presented in recognition of an athletic director’s support and commitment toward the successful advancement of the department, most specifically in the sport of football. Additionally, he was recognized by the Secretary of the Navy for his contributions and service to the Navy and the Naval Academy with the Superior Public Service Award to the Department of the Navy.

Gladchuk has been able to parlay Navy’s athletic success into an exclusive television deal with CBS Sports Network that has increased Navy’s television exposure both in the United States and internationally. CBS Sports Network, the first 24-hour college sports network, televises every Navy home and select neutral site football games (excluding Notre Dame and Army which are televised nationally by CBS), as well as other Midshipmen men’s and women’s athletic events, original programming and documentaries centered on the storied Navy athletic program.

The long-term, multi-media agreement includes internet streaming, broadband and video-ondemand rights and high definition rights. A major part of the agreement was that all home football games would be played on Saturday for the convenience of the Navy alumni. Navy sports are seen all over the world with the international distribution of Navy programming, especially to the troops serving abroad. Navy’s contract with CBS Sports Network runs through 2018.

Gladchuk has also added radio giants WBAL (1090 AM) in Baltimore and WFED (1500 AM, 1050 AM, 820 AM) in Washington D.C./Northern Virginia to Navy’s radio network.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I CHET GLADCHUK H DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS WBAL Radio, which is also the home of the Ravens, is Maryland’s dominant and most powerful radio station.

WFED Radio, which is also the home of the Washington Nationals, is a 50,000-watt station that will air a minimum of 10 regular-season football games.

Since being introduced as the Academy’s 28th Director of Athletics on Sept. 4, 2001, Gladchuk has pressed forward on numerous fronts with energy and vision. From the hiring of some of the top coaches in the country to the renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, Gladchuk has made improvements in several key areas that will prove more success on the athletic fields for years to come. Head coaching hires such as Ken Niumatalolo, who is six wins from becoming the school’s all-time winningest football coach, Bill Roberts in men’s swimming, John Morrison in women’s swimming, Paul Kostacopoulos in baseball, Keith Puryear in women’s tennis, Nadia Ste-Marie in women’s golf, Cindy Timchal, the all-time winningest women’s lacrosse coach in NCAA history, Stefanie Pemper, one of the all-time winningest Division III women’s basketball coaches, Dave Brandt, the all-time winningest soccer coach in NCAA history, Larry Bock, the all-time winningest coach in collegiate volleyball history, Ed DeChellis, the 2009 Big Ten Basketball Coach of the Year at Penn State, Rick Sowell, who was a two-time America East Men’s Lacrosse Coach of the Year, Chris Garner, who led Amherst to two NCAA Division III Men’s Tennis titles, and Joel Sharratt, a three-time All-American wrestler at Iowa.

During Gladchuk’s tenure at the Naval Academy, he has seen the Midshipmen win 115 conference titles, produce 170 All-Americans and 70 Academic All-Americans.

He has embraced the local community and alumni base, and is an often-requested speaker, visiting areas all over the country as he shares the vision of the Naval Academy and the Naval Academy Athletic Association.

Gladchuk’s biggest impact on the Naval Academy has been the $64 million renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium where under his leadership the stadium was completely refurbished over a six-year time frame. Gladchuk has worked closely with the city, county, state and neighborhood associations to ensure proper communication and sensitivity to issues that benefit both the NAAA and community at large. The NAAA was awarded the Green Star award by former Annapolis Mayor Ellen Moyer for commitment to the environment during the ongoing renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I CHET GLADCHUK H DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS USA Championships, while making significant strides in the academic success of their student-athletes, gender equity and fiscal management.

Before Houston, Gladchuk was the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Intramurals and Recreation for seven years at his alma mater, Boston College. Under Gladchuk, Boston College emerged as one of the NCAA’s elite programs of the 1990s winning numerous Big East and NCAA Championships. The school’s graduation rate for all studentathletes was over 90 percent and the Eagles won the College Football Association’s Academic Achievement Award for the highest graduation rates among all Division I schools in three of his last five years at Boston College. Gladchuk led the Alumni Stadium expansion effort, which resulted in a $35 million improvement to the football stadium.

Prior to rejoining Boston College, Gladchuk served as AD at Tulane University from 1987-90. During his tenure, he directed the reinstatement of the Green Wave basketball program to Division I status. In addition, he oversaw the construction of new facilities for the athletics administration as well as baseball, track and field and tennis teams after a $25 million athletics campaign was successfully completed.

From 1985-87, he served as Associate AD at Syracuse University, heading operations, NCAA compliance, financial aid and facility operations.

Gladchuk lettered in football at Boston College and graduated with honors in business management in 1973. He earned a master’s in sports administration from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in 1974, where he began his career in intercollegiate athletics, including serving for seven years as Director of General Physical Education, Assistant and Associate Athletic Director for the university. He also has served as Director of Athletics and head football coach for the New Hampton (Prep) School in New Hampshire prior to leaving for UMass.

He and his wife, Kathy, have four children: John, a graduate of Loyola Marymount; Katie, a graduate of Boston College; Christie, a graduate of Trinity; and Julie, a graduate of the University of North Carolina.

Gladchuk and the NAAA have also teamed up with the Naval Academy Foundation to raise private funds for facilities such as the Brigade Sports Complex (hockey and tennis), Max Bishop Stadium (baseball), varsity squash courts, various team locker rooms and a number of practice facilities.

Other highlights during Gladchuk’s tenure at the Naval Academy include the recent renegotiation of the Army-Navy contract which resulted in over $46 million to the two schools over an eight-year period, scheduling Maryland, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Army at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore to promote Navy football in the community, negotiating the extension of the Navy-Notre Dame football game television contract with CBS through 2018 and negotiating bowl deals with the Houston, Emerald, Poinsettia, Meineke Car Care, EagleBank, Texas, Armed Forces and Military Bowls.

Gladchuk is heavily involved with NCAA and Patriot League committees. He was selected to serve on the NCAA Leadership Council, which is one of the highest NCAA appointments an athletic director can realize. The council helps set the Division I legislative agenda and advises the NCAA regarding major legislative issues being considered.

Gladchuk has been on the NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors) Executive Committee and has served as the Chairman of the Executive Committee in the Patriot League and a member of the NCAA Olympic Sport Liaison Committee.

Gladchuk came to the Naval Academy from the University of Houston, where he had been the Director of Athletics for four years.

Recognized as one of the nation’s top leaders in intercollegiate athletics management, he guided the Cougars to 19 Conference

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I SCHOLAR-ATHLETE Joe Worth: Leading from the Front

by Sean Labar

For many kids, it is difficult to see the bigger picture as they navigate through the rigors of childhood. The immediate future carries the most importance, and the need for instant gratification often trumps future success.

But for senior linebacker Joe Worth this was never the case. Worth has always been driven.

He has always kept his goals and aspirations in the forefront and strove to obtain them.

Worth, the son of a Navy helicopter pilot, learned about commitment, camaraderie, and dedication at a young age. He was surrounded by the military throughout his youth which helped shape his character today.

“My parents instilled it in me and my older sister Jen led by example” Worth said.

“I come from a military family. I was taught to get your work done before you go outside and play. Make sure to work on a project and don’t procrastinate.”

His grandfather is a 1953 graduate of the Naval Academy and both of his parents entered the service through the Reserve Officer Training Corps. His younger brother, William Worth, is a sophomore quarterback on the Navy football team.

In high school, Worth excelled both academically and athletically. At Newsome High School in Central Florida, he was a four-year football letter winner, a member of three-straight district championship teams and team captain his senior year. But Worth’s success wasn’t confined to the gridiron.

He was a member of the principal’s Honor Roll for four years, served as student body president his senior year, and received the principal’s leadership award.

Worth enjoyed the athletic honors, but never deemed them possible without placing academic success as the first priority.

“I focused on grades first and making sure that I had everything in order academically so that my mind was clear when it came to athletics,” Worth said.

Worth carried his superior work ethic and mentality with him upon his arrival at the Naval Academy in 2011. During his first three years in Annapolis, he has earned a 3.8 cumulative grade point average and ranks in the top 10 percent of his class in Overall Order of Merit, which combines academic and military performance. He majors in math, and admits that his experience with problem solving has been a valuable asset on the football field.

There aren’t many college students that face a daily grind comparable to Worth’s. He has developed a rigorous routine to keep up with the challenges that the Naval Academy has placed before him. Each day he wakes up and begins studying and preparing for his classes. His afternoon consists of film sessions and football practice. After all of the sweat and grunt work, he is back to the books and calculator for the remainder of the evening. In Worth’s mind, there is very little room for downtime. ”Sometimes I have to sacrifice some relaxation. There are plenty of nights where I have to stay up until 2 a.m. You have to be ahead of the game and it can be tough. There are nights where you are exhausted from games or practices, but you just know you have to get work done. My dad always talks about compartmentalizing, and knowing when you have time to rest. The worst thing you can do is to get behind.”

A Leader on and off the Field

This season, Worth will be competing for playing time at linebacker and on special teams.

Senior Jordan Drake is making the move from outside linebacker to inside linebacker in an attempt to bolster the unit after losing last year’s standouts Cody Peterson and D.J. Sargenti.

Drake is a proven player, having started 26 games during his tenure with the Midshipmen.

This will create an obstacle for Worth, but adversity doesn’t scare him. He has already cemented himself as a leader both on and off of the field.

Earlier this year, Worth was selected as the Regimental Commander for Plebe Summer at the Naval Academy. This is one of the highest leadership honors that the Naval Academy offers. His duties included overseeing the training of approximately 1,200 incoming plebes. The strict guidelines for selection included a detailed review of Worth’s service record as well as an extensive interview process.

Capt. Bill Byrne, the Commandant of Midshipmen, was responsible for the decision and reached out to Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo about the commitment that Worth would now be accepting.

“I told Kenny that I was going to demand an awful lot of Joe and I need a commitment out of you that he can pull it off,” Capt. Byrne said to the Capital Gazette. “Without hesitation, Kenny said that Joe would do a tremendous job and that I would not be disappointed.”

On the field, Worth knows his role. He understands that the younger players will be looking to him for guidance and watching his every move.

Whether it is with the corps of linebackers or on special teams, he is ready to make himself available. Just like a sponge, they will absorb everything Worth says and does, a responsibility he has prepared for.

“I would like to think of myself as a leader,” Worth said. “Someone is always watching, so you have to do the right thing. It doesn’t matter if it is a freshman or just the guys around the hall. If you do the right thing people will follow. For me, it’s all about having strong morals and good character.”

As the Midshipmen prepare to kick off their 2014 campaign against one of the biggest powerhouses in college football, Niumatalolo understands that his defense will need to play with poise and focus if they want to make the game competitive. Ohio State’s offense was ranked fifth in the country in 2013, averaging 45.5 points per game. Navy’s coaching staff knows that Worth’s leadership will be a valuable asset for their squad.

“He is a guy that our team looks up to,” Niumatalolo said. “Joe epitomizes everything that we look for in a Navy football player. He is the prototype that we are looking for, just a great young man.”

The Buckeyes won’t be the only high-powered opponent on Navy’s schedule this season. They will square off with No. 17 Notre Dame at FedEx Field on Nov. 1.

Niumatalolo noted that that the younger guys should mimic Worth’s preparation and training if they want perform at a high level against some of the elite competition in the nation.

“He knows one way, just doing everything the best you can. Lifting, stretching, or watching film, he is trying to excel in everything that he does.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I SCHOLAR-ATHLETE finishing 9-4, and bringing home the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the ninth time in the last 11 years. They also qualified for a bowl game for the 10th time in the last 11 years, and won a bowl game for just the eighth time in school history.

Worth believes the team can take the momentum from last season and run with it. He thinks this year’s group of men has the talent to hang with anyone in the country. He plans to exit on top.

“Our goal is always to go undefeated, go to a bowl game, and beat Army,” Worth said. “We have to put our heads down and keep grinding. I have a lot of faith in our team and the brothers that I am playing with.”

But on Dec. 13, after the final whistle blows at M&T Bank Stadium in downtown Baltimore, Worth will take off the historic blue and gold colors for the final time in a regular season game (if Navy wins six games they will play in the Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 23 in San Diego). He will have just finished his final game against Army, and been part of one of the storied rivalries in all of sports. His jersey bearing the number 56 will be passed along to the next hungry Midshipmen. One can only hope that his successor will serve his team, school and community with the same pride that Worth did.

Life After School

The Naval Academy varies from most colleges upon graduation. Worth won’t have the opportunity to try out for a professional football team, or pursue a job as an accountant. Just like the other service academies, he will begin a career in the military. He will either serve in the Navy or the Marine Corps, a decision that he is anxiously awaiting.

Worth isn’t worried about the future task at hand, but only the details of his assignment.

“I’m a little nervous. I’ve put a lot of time and thought into it, I’ve been around a lot of mentors and leaders and they have helped make me more comfortable,” Worth said.

If the stars align, Marine Cops barracks will be the next stop on Worth’s journey. He dreams of working in the Marine Ground Combat Element, a division that focuses on land-based and amphibious operations, including offensive, defensive, humanitarian, reconnaissance and security operations.

A decision should be reached in December.

Niumatolo is confident that Worth is ready for any challenges that he will face in his career. He has prepared himself for a life in the military, and will take the skills and lessons he has learned at The Naval Academy and apply them in real life situations.

“I think you can already see his leadership, people follow him,” Niumatalolo said. It is easy to follow someone when he is leading the pack.

No doubt in my mind he is a great leader and that will help him. He stands out amongst leaders on our team, and that isn’t always easy to do.”

From now until the spring, Worth will do what he has always done. He will work hard academically, and continue to provide leadership for those that will come after him. There will be late nights, exhausting days, and situations that would cause most people give up. That’s not an option for Worth, he will continue to persevere.

“I’ve learned so much about myself,” Worth said about his time at The Naval Academy. “I’ve learned how to succeed in the classroom and on the football field. I’ve learned the value of teamwork, brotherhood and leadership. These are all things will help me later in life.”

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I AROUND THE YARD Mids Spend Summer Experiencing Asian-Pacific Cultures from USNA Public Affairs

Witnessing a Developing Democracy in Indonesia Midshipman 1st Class Annie-Norah Beveridge and Midshipman 2nd Class Richard Kuzma write about their experiences traveling to Indonesia this summer.

No matter how many texts we studied or how many documentaries we saw, it was necessary to travel 10,158 miles in order to fully immerse ourselves in the history, culture, and traditions of Indonesia.

The opportunity to examine a new democracy in its infancy was an incredible way to gain an understanding that has gone beyond just our initial research topics to affect the way that we view the world and its people.

We are so lucky to have had this chance as members of ALLIES and the Joint Research Project. From the temples of Ubud to the cobra cookouts of Jakarta; from sunrise at the Mt. Batur volcano to the Ancol fish market, our most important research took the form of experiential learning in ways that we could never have imagined.

The ALLIES (Alliance Linking Leaders in Education and the Services) club serves to bring together students from the Naval Academy, West Point, and Tufts to consider carefully the current issues of civil-military relations.

Each summer ALLIES sends a delegation of students to a foreign country to consider the state of civil military relations and write a research paper. After research is conducted for a semester, the summer trip serves to provide an invaluable grassroots perspective and truly heighten the understanding of all students about life far beyond the borders of the United States.

Past trips have gone to Panama, Rwanda, and Turkey, and this year’s trip to Indonesia was particularly exciting as we had the opportunity to examine a new democracy in its infancy. One of our goals was to gain a perspective of the human and social development of the Indonesian people after the change from an authoritarian leader, General Suharto, in 1998.

No amount of work could fully prepare us for stepping off the plane in Jakarta and being hit by that first wall of searing heat and humidity. The skyline was a haze of pollution from the industrializing economy churning day and night. We greatly overestimated the amount of English spoken by the general population which required much more careful communication on our part when seeking out opinions on the upcoming presidential election.

Another huge hurdle at the outset was finding the right experts that could speak to our research. It was a lot of work tracking down people from all over the public and private sector. Once contacts were made and meetings set, the trip took a blistering pace as we scrambled from one interview to another, experienced the cultural sites, and tried all the foods we could. By the time the work day was over, we were just getting started – blogging about the present day and pouring over literature from previous research took up many nights – leaving little time for jaunts to food markets or wandering the city of Jakarta.

Though every day was a new test, we loved every minute of it and wish we could go back.

Toward the tail end of the journey the group managed a quick trip to Ubud, one of the cultural centers of Bali. We could never have imagined the sights and sounds there. We trekked through ancient temples older than Machu Picchu, explored caves, roamed around remote rice paddies, and finally capped it all off with a climb up a volcano.

Back in Jakarta, the ten storey malls and luxurious automobile dealerships stood in stark contrast to the slums that we viewed on the slideshow the mayor of North Jakarta presented. The overwhelming income disparity is an issue that the government of Indonesia will have to face along with the rampant deforestation that takes place in Sumatra, the pollution in Jakarta, and the overall lack of health and education infrastructure.

As Indonesia finds its way in the future, it seems as though the democratic process will be at the forefront of decision making. With a voter turnout rate of more than 85 percent and a passionate electorate that we were able to witness on our trip, the country will continue to develop as a democracy, and the relationship between the civilian sector and their military counterparts will also continue to develop. Just like our own nation, civil-military relations will be a factor of progress for Indonesia.

All in all, our trip was an enriching experience which has impacted us in countless ways. We have come away with a greater knowledge

of Indonesian government, religion, and culture than we ever could have learned from reading a textbook.

Immersing ourselves in the country has proved to be the most valuable research mechanism and we are extremely grateful for the opportunity to do so.

Experiencing Chinese Culture in Taiwan Midshipman 1st Class Britton Haynes and Grady Weber and Midshipman 2nd Class Kathleen Heinbach and Betty Yi write about their trip to Taiwan this summer.

In just nine days, we became immersed in the Taiwanese culture, meeting numerous high ranking naval officers, visiting naval bases and the Marine Corps museum, discovering the meaning of flower fire and inter-tidal activity, and learning proper meal etiquette.

The first stop was the Taiwanese Naval Academy in Kaohsiung. The academy’s superintendent and commandant of midshipmen ¬welcomed us and gave us a tour of the campus.

The school has a total of 700 midshipmen, organized into seven companies. Unlike USNA, the companies are not co-ed. Instead, two companies are composed entirely of females, and they live in separate dorms from the males.

The students’ academics and extracurricular activities mostly parallel USNA, except they do not have a football team. We enjoyed getting to know our Taiwanese counterparts, and the Taiwanese were happy to practice their English-speaking skills. There was a stark contrast in the way the Taiwanese mids interacted. There is greater separation and formality between each class so the mids bond mostly with mids in their own class only. This differs from the Naval Academy, where that line of formality is only between the plebes and the upperclassmen.

Overall, the Taiwanese Naval Academy made a positive impression with their discipline, respect, and kindness.

The next stop was the beautiful island of Penghu. After the 30 minute flight from Kaohsiung, we arrived on the island and immediately went to the beach. The next day, we experienced inter-tidal activity by spending the day on a large fishing boat. First, we reeled in fish and even a stingray with a large net. The catches became the ingredients for dinner that evening.

Then we all received fishing rods and proceeded to fish for small red and blue fish. It was a calming experience and reminded us that even in the busy lives of midshipmen, there are moments of serenity. The same evening, we discovered what flower fire is: fireworks. For three months, every Monday and Thursday, the island holds a 15-minue fireworks show, which made the island seem wondrous.

The last stop was Taipei, essentially the New York City of Taiwan. The night life was bustling with activity, and it felt like Christmas with all the bright lights. We visited the night market and explored the different venues.

It was surprising to hear numerous English-language songs playing, and we quickly learned that English is looked upon endearingly in Taipei.

Throughout the trip, we ate at a variety of restaurants, and they all had one thing in common: if you finish your plate, someone will give you more food. Chinese culture interprets a finished plate as one enjoying the food, so it is polite to give more. We tried foods we had never seen before and sometimes didn’t know the contents. We all agreed that plain squid is not appetizing.

Lastly, we met the commander of the Taiwan Navy Admiral Chen Yeong-kang at the naval headquarters in Taipei. It was an incredible honor to meet him and his staff.

Ultimately, the trip to Taiwan developed us both professionally and personally as we practiced interacting with military officers of high rank, immersed ourselves in the culture, and widened our perspectives as we encountered another navy and its structure. We have become more wellrounded individuals and will use this experience to become competent leaders in the Navy and Marine Corps.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I THE AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE Not entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are provided with the means to succeed in their quests for excellence.

With roots that extend to three conferences, the American Athletic Conference membership in 2014-15 consists of 11 institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, East Carolina University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the University of South Florida Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa.

The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only.

Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, has immediately taken a place at the forefront of Division I athletics, with schools that have played in four Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won nine NCAA women’s basketball championships since 1995.

Two American Athletic Conference football teams were ranked in the top 15 of the final 2013 Associated Press poll. Five were selected for bowl games, including UCF, which won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 10 nationally. The conference produced 14 players who received All-America recognition by a major outlet.

The American had four players chosen in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, trailing only the SEC and the ACC among FBS conferences.

UCF quarterback Blake Bortles highlighted a group of 12 American Athletic Conference players chosen when he was taken No. 3 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The success of The American in Year 1 was not limited to the gridiron.

UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s basketball. The conference had the best postseason winning percentage of any league in men’s basketball, while The American produced top-10 teams in baseball, men’s soccer and men’s golf and sent half of its participating teams to the NCAA Softball Championship.

The American Athletic Conference holds television partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which will give the conference unprecedented national exposure. The football portion of the contract, which begins in the 2014 season, calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-controlled games

on national broadcast or national cable platforms.

The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played in 2015, will be carried either on ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday.

In men’s basketball, the television deal calls for all conference-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slotted for national broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postseason tournament will be televised, including the championship game, which will be either on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on either national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3.

American Athletic Conference teams will have access to the pinnacle of college football’s postseason structure. An American representative would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams following the regular season.

Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl or Peach Bowl if it is ranked higher than the champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.

Additionally, The American has announced primary or secondary partnerships with 12 bowls for the next six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable postseason destinations to member institutions and their fans.

The American Athletic Conference administers to its membership from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, R.I. The location of the conference headquarters – just steps from the city’s Amtrak station and 10 minutes from T.F. Green International Airport – gives the conference easy access to its member schools.

The conference headquarters is equipped with a complete video production studio, serving as the home of the American Digital Network, and small- and large-scale meeting rooms to accommodate the many coaches’ and administrators’ meetings held on-site each year.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I KEN NIUMATALOLO H HEAD COACH

NIUMATALOLO’S RESUMÉ 17TH SEASON at NAVY SEVENTH SEASON as HEAD COACH (49-30, .620) _____________________ COACHING BACKGROUND Graduate Assistant Hawai’i, 1990-92 Assistant Coach Hawai’i, 1992-94

Entering his seventh season at the helm of the Navy football program, head coach Ken Niumatalolo continues to engineer a program that has hit on all cylinders since he took over the reins in 2008. He has repeatedly guided the Midshipmen to success both on and off the gridiron. Included in his accomplishments are a number of milestones never before achieved be a coach or team in the program’s 132-year history.

Now, as he embarks upon the start of the 2014 campaign, he looks to become the school’s all-time wins leader. Boasting a 49-30 record and having won more games by a Navy coach in his first seven years, he trails Eddie Erdelatz (1950-58) by one win and the Mids’ all-time winningest coach George Welsh, who amassed a 55-46-1 record from 1973-81.

He led Navy to a 10-win season in 2009, which tied for the most wins in school history, and he is the first coach in program history to lead Navy to a bowl game in each of his first three seasons. He is also the first Service Academy coach to win the Commander-InChief’s Trophy in his first two years as a head coach.

This past fall, Niumatalolo was selected to the inaugural class of the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame and was inducted on January 23 in Honolulu.

Niumatalolo is just the second coach since World War II to lead Navy to a winning record in each of his first three seasons at the helm and joins Eddie Erdelatz and Wayne Hardin as the only Navy coaches to beat Notre Dame in consecutive seasons. He and Paul Johnson are the only coaches in Academy history to start their careers 6-0 against Army.

Navy has won at least nine games five times in the last 10 years. Before the current streak, Navy had won nine or more games just five times in the previous 77 seasons.

Navy finished the 2013 campaign with a 9-4 record, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the ninth time in the last 11 years, qualified for a bowl game for the 10th time in the last 11 years, won a bowl game for just the eighth time in school history (beat Middle Tennessee, 24-6, in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl) and defeated Army for a series-record 12th consecutive year. The 2013 squad is just the fifth in Navy history to win at least nine games in a season, beat Army and win a bowl game. The 1957, 1978, 2004 and 2009 teams are the only other teams to have achieved that feat.

Niumatalolo led Navy to an 8-5 record in 2012 and a berth in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, which was Navy’s ninth bowl game in the last 10 years. Navy defeated Air Force, 28-21, in overtime and Army, 17-13, to give the Mids the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

Navy was 5-7 in 2011 that included a series record 10th-straight victory over Army. The Mids played seven teams that finished with a winning record and six that went to bowl games.

The Mids posted an impressive 9-4 record in 2010, defeated Army for a series record ninth-consecutive time, defeated Notre Dame in consecutive seasons for only the third time in school history and appeared in a school-record eighth consecutive bowl game The 2009 season was one to remember for the Midshipmen, as Navy tied a school record for wins with 10, won a school-record seventh consecutive Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a seventh consecutive bowl game, beat Notre Dame in South Bend for the second straight time and ran their winning streak against the other two Service Academies to an amazing 15 straight games. The Mids capped the season off with a 35-13 rout of Missouri in the Texas Bowl.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I KEN NIUMATALOLO H HEAD COACH

In 2008, Niumatalolo became the first coach to lead Navy to a bowl game in his inaugural season and, thanks to a 33-27 victory over Air Force and a 34-0 win over Army, he became just the second Service Academy coach to win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy in his first year. Niumatalolo led the Midshipmen to an 8-5 record, the most wins for a first-year coach at Navy since 1934. Included in those eight wins was a 24-17 victory over 16th-ranked Wake Forest, which was Navy’s first win over a team ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 since 1985. Navy also beat teams currently in the BCS in back-to-back weeks (Rutgers and Wake Forest) for the first time since 1981 and defeated a program-record four bowl teams.

Niumatalolo, 49, was promoted to head football coach at the Naval Academy on Dec. 8, 2007, by Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk.

He is the second Polynesian head coach in Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history and the first Samoan collegiate head coach on any level.

Prior to being named head coach, Niumatalolo had two coaching stints at the Naval Academy for a combined 10 seasons, including the last six where he served as assistant head coach and offensive line coach.

Niumatalolo and the majority of his coaching staff have been part of a staff that has brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight over the last 11 seasons, compiling an 92-49 record (.652). The 92 wins are the 25th most in the country over the last 11 years.

During that time, Navy made a school-record eight-consecutive bowl game appearances, won seven-consecutive Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies, earned 15-consecutive wins over the other two Service Academies and claimed an NCAA-record four-consecutive NCAA rushing titles.

In 2007, with Niumatalolo as the Assistant Head Coach, he saw the Mids post an 8-5 record, win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appear in a fifthstraight bowl game (Poinsettia Bowl, which was Niumatalolo’s first game as a head coach), set a school record for rushing (348.8 yards per contest) and defeat Notre Dame for the first time since 1963.

In 2006, Navy averaged a then school-record 327.0 yards per contest, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy and participated in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. One of Niumatalolo’s pupils, Antron Harper, was named to the ESPN.Com All-Bowl Team for the second-straight year.

In 2005, Niumatalolo helped develop an offensive line that, despite having just one returning starter, paved the way for the nation’s best rushing offense (318.7 yards per contest), went to a bowl game for a third-straight year, won a second-straight bowl game and won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

In 2004, Niumatalolo’s efforts helped an offensive line that was hampered by injuries all year to perform well enough for the Midshipmen to finish third in the country in rushing (289.5), win a school-record tying 10 games (the most wins since 1905), go to back-to-back bowl games for the second time in school history, win the Emerald Bowl and win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

Despite a lack of experience up front, the Mids led the nation in rushing (323.2 yards per contest) in 2003 and set seven school records as Navy went 8-5, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy and earned a berth in the Houston Bowl.

In 2002, the Navy offensive line helped the Mids to the third-best rushing average in the country (270.75).

Niumatalolo was also an assistant at Navy from 1995-98, serving as the offensive coordinator in 1997 and 1998.

As the offensive coordinator, Niumatalolo tutored Chris McCoy, who set the then-NCAA record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a season with 20 in 1997 and became just the 10th player in NCAA history to rush for more than 1,000 yards and pass for more than 1,000 yards in the same season. In addition, Navy finished among the nation’s top five in rushing his last-two years and broke 38 school offensive records during his tenure.

Niumatalolo coached at UNLV for three seasons (1999-01) and called the plays his final year (2001) in Vegas. He also worked with the kickoff return unit and, under his guidance, UNLV ranked sixth in the nation in kickoff returns in 2001 and finished second in 1999.

A 1989 graduate of Hawai’i, Niumatalolo lettered three years as a quarterback and was a part of Hawaii’s first bowl team in 1989. He was hired as a fulltime assistant by his alma mater in 1992 and spent three seasons coaching on the offensive side of the ball.

A native of Laie’, Hawai’i, Niumatalolo and his wife, Barbara, have three children, Alexcia, Va’a and Ali’i.

GREEN’S RESUMÉ 13TH SEASON at NAVY _____________________ COACHING BACKGROUND Graduate Assistant NC State, 1979 Assistant Coach LSU, 1980 Defensive Coordinator Southern, 1981-82 Assistant Coach VMI, 1983 Assistant Coach Auburn, 1984-85 Assistant Coach NC State, 1986-89

Buddy Green is entering his 13th season as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach at the Naval Academy. He has been an integral part of a staff that has brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight with a 92-49 (.652) record over the last 11 years, that includes 10 bowl games and nine Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies.

Navy has won at least nine games five times in the last 10 years. Before the current streak, Navy had won nine or more games just five times in the previous 77 seasons.

Navy finished the 2013 campaign with a 9-4 record, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the ninth time in the last 11 years, qualified for a bowl game for the 10th time in the last 11 years, won a bowl game for just the eighth time in school history (beat Middle Tennessee, 24-6, in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl) and defeated Army for a series-record 12th consecutive year. The 2013 squad is just the fifth in Navy history to win at least nine games in a season, beat Army and win a bowl game. The 1957, 1978, 2004 and 2009 teams also achieved that feat.

The Navy defense held eight of its 13 opponents below their scoring average for the season. Navy opponents averaged 29.9 points on the year, but just 24.4 points against the Mids. They finished 27th in the country in red zone defense and 40th in scoring defense and pass defense.

Green helped lead Navy to an 8-5 record in 2012 and a berth in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Navy defeated Air Force, 28-21, in overtime and Army, 1713, to win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

Green’s defense finished 19th in the country in red zone defense, allowing just 37 scores in 50 opportunities.

Navy compiled a 5-7 record in 2011 that included a series record 10th-straight victory over Army. Navy played seven teams that finished with a winning record

and six that went to bowl games. The Mids finished 15th in the nation in turnover margin (+0.8).

The Mids posted an impressive 9-4 record in 2010, defeated Army for a series-record ninth-consecutive time, defeated Notre Dame in consecutive seasons for only the third time in school history and appeared in a school-record eighth-consecutive bowl game The 2009 season was one to remember, as the Mids tied a school record for wins with 10, won a schoolrecord seventh-consecutive Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a seventh-consecutive bowl game and ran its winning streak against the other two Service Academies to an amazing 15-straight games.

The Mids capped the season off with a 35-13 rout of Missouri in the Texas Bowl thanks in part to Green’s 2-4-5 defensive alignment that flummoxed the Missouri offense.

The Mids posted an 8-5 record in 2008 and participated in the EagleBank Bowl. The Mids won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy thanks to a 33-27 victory over Air Force and a 34-0 win over Army.

Other landmark wins during the 2008 season included a 24-17 victory over 16th-ranked Wake Forest, which was Navy’s first win over a team ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 since 1985, as well as Navy’s victory the previous week over Rutgers. It was the first time since 1981 that Navy beat teams currently in the BCS in back-to-back weeks.

The 2007 season was also a memorable one as the Midshipmen posted an 8-5 record, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a fifthstraight bowl game, and defeated Notre Dame for the first time since 1963.

Green’s defense was stout in 2006, giving up just 116.7 yards per game (38th in the country) on the ground and, more importantly, 20.1 points per game (41st in the country) as the Mids finished 9-4 and won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

In 2005, Green did a remarkable job with a defense that returned just three starters from the year before as the Mids appeared in a third-straight bowl game, won a second-straight bowl game and won a third-straight Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

In 2004, Green’s efforts helped Navy finish 26th in the country in scoring defense (19.83), win a school-record tying 10 games (the most wins since 1905), go to back-to-back bowl games, win the Emerald Bowl and win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

In 2003, Green’s defense finished 14th in the nation in pass defense (61st the year before), 42nd in pass efficiency defense (116th the year

before), 34th in total defense (100th the year before) and 34th in scoring defense (108th the year before) as he helped lead Navy to eight wins, the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy and a berth in the Houston Bowl.

In Green’s first season as Navy’s defensive coordinator, the Mids were devastated by injuries at nearly every position. Green, however, kept the unit together and the Mids played their best at the end of the year and held Army to just 12 points in the season finale.

Green is a 1976 graduate of NC State where he earned his B.A. in speech communication. A two-sport athlete for the Wolfpack, he played football and baseball. He played on two ACC Championship teams in baseball and was a member of Lou Holtz’s 1972 Peach Bowl squad.

Green earned his first collegiate coaching job in 1979 as a graduate assistant at NC State, a year the Wolfpack won the ACC Championship.

The following year, Green moved on to a coaching post at LSU for one season. In 1981, he earned his first coordinator job, serving as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Southern University from 1981-82. He took his first head coaching job at Northern Nash High School in North Carolina for one season where he was also the Director of Athletics. Green got back into the college ranks at VMI as the secondary coach in 1983 and moved on to Auburn where he helped lead the Tigers to the 1985 Cotton Bowl.

He returned to his alma mater in 1986 where he was the secondary coach for eight years and the defensive coordinator for four of those seasons (1990-93). While at NC State, he helped lead the Pack to six bowl games.

Green left NC State in 1994 to become the head coach at TennesseeChattanooga, where he coached for six seasons and was also the Director of Athletics for two years. In 1997, Green led his Chattanooga squad to a I-AA national ranking and its first winning record in six years. He also helped develop one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, Terrell Owens.

Green returned to Raleigh in 2000 and took over one of the worst defenses in the ACC. By the time he left, they were ranked in the top 25 in scoring defense and were at or near the top in every defensive category.

Green and his wife, Sharon, have two children, Todd and Courtney.

JASPER’S RESUMÉ 15TH SEASON at NAVY _____________________ COACHING BACKGROUND Graduate Assistant Hawai’i, 1995 (Spring) Assistant Coach Navy, 1995-96 Offensive Coordinator Naval Academy Prep School, 1997 Offensive Coordinator Indiana State, 1998 Assistant Coach Georgia Southern, 1999-2001

Ivin Jasper is entering his 15th year at the Naval Academy, his 13th as the quarterbacks coach and his seventh as the offensive coordinator. He has been an integral part of a staff that has brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight with a 92-49 (.652) record over the last 11 years, that includes 10 bowl games and nine Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies.

Navy finished the 2013 campaign with a 9-4 record, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the ninth time in the last 11 years, qualified for a bowl game for the 10th time in the last 11 years, won a bowl game for just the eighth time in school history (beat Middle Tennessee, 24-6, in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl) and defeated Army for a series-record 12th consecutive year. The 2013 squad is just the fifth in Navy history to win at least nine games in a season, beat Army and win a bowl game. The 1957, 1978, 2004 and 2009 teams also achieved that feat.

The offense led the nation in fewest turnovers (10), was second in rushing offense (325.4), third in fewest tackles for a loss allowed per game (3.62), sixth in passing yards per completion (15.1) and sixth in third down conversions (.511).

Navy scored a touchdown on 45 percent (58130) of its drives last year, which was the sixth-best percentage in the country, and went three-and-out just 17 percent of the time (23 times in 135 possessions), which was tied for the fourth-best percentage in the country.

Sophomore quarterback Keenan Reynolds had one of the greatest seasons by a Navy football player in school history, rushing for 1,346 yards and 31 touchdowns, while throwing for 1,057 yards and eight touchdowns. His 31 rushing touchdowns not only was a school record, but an NCAA record for a quarterback.

He is just the fourth player in NCAA history (any position) to rush for 30 or more touchdowns in a single season. Reynolds finished the 2013 campaign No. 1

in the country in scoring per game (14.7 points per contest) and tied for first in touchdowns (31). His 1,346 rushing yards are the 14th most in NCAA history by a quarterback and the third most in school history by any player. His seven rushing touchdowns against San Jose State set an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in any game and tied the NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by any player against an FBS opponent.

Navy has won at least nine games five times in the last 10 years. Before the current streak, Navy had won nine or more games just five times in the previous 77 seasons.

A big part of Navy’s success on offense has been Jasper’s ability to develop quarterbacks such as Craig Candeto, Aaron Polanco, Brian Hampton, Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada, Jarod Bryant, Ricky Dobbs and Keenan Reynolds.

Additionally, his work has catapulted Navy to No. 1 in the nation in rushing in five of the last 11 seasons, including an NCAA-record four-straight years from 2005-08.

Jasper helped lead Navy to an 8-5 record in 2012 and a berth in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Navy defeated Air Force, 28-21, in overtime and Army, 1713, to win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

Navy finished 5-7 in 2011 that included a series record 10th-straight victory over Army. Navy played seven teams that finished with a winning record and six that went to bowl games. The Mids finished fourth in the nation in rushing offense, averaging 312.3 yards per game.

The Mids posted an impressive 9-4 record in 2010, defeated Army for a series-record ninth-consecutive time, defeated Notre Dame in consecutive seasons for only the third time in school history and appeared in a school-record eighth-consecutive bowl game. The Mids finished sixth in the country in rushing offense

In 2002, Navy had the third-best rushing average in the country (270.75) and scored 30 or more points on four occasions.

Jasper came to Navy from Georgia Southern where he served as the quarterbacks and fullbacks coach for three years and helped lead the Eagles to a 38-6 record and back-to-back NCAA Division I-AA National Championships in 1999 and 2000.

Prior to his appointment at Georgia Southern in January 1999, Jasper served as offensive coordinator at Indiana State during the 1998 season.

As quarterbacks and fullbacks coach, he helped ISU turn in a 5-6 overall record, an improvement from a three-win season in 1997.

Before assuming the offensive coordinator’s position at the Naval Academy Prep School in Newport, R.I., in 1997, Jasper spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Navy in 1995 and `96, handling the quarterbacks, fullbacks and slot backs.

Jasper is a 1994 graduate of the University of Hawai’i where he earned his bachelor’s degree in sociology/criminology. He was a three-year letterman for the Rainbow Warriors (1991-93) at quarterback and slot back, where he helped lead Hawai’i to a Western Athletic Conference title.

Justin Davis is entering his eighth season at the Naval Academy and his fourth working with the outside linebackers. Davis worked with the outside linebackers in 2007 before moving to the defensive line from 2008-11.

Navy has compiled a record of 62-41 (.602) in his seven years in Annapolis, beating Army all seven times, earning six bowl bids, winning five Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies and beating Notre Dame three times.

O’ROURKE’S RESUMÉ 13TH SEASON at NAVY _____________________ COACHING BACKGROUND Assistant Coach Georgia Southerm, 2000 Assistant Coach Valdosta State, 2001 Assistant Coach Navy, 2002-Present _____________________ PERSONAL Date of Birth January 4, 1976

Danny O’Rourke is entering his 13th season at Navy and his fourth as the slot backs coach.

O’Rourke has also coached the secondary (four seasons), wide receivers (three seasons) and the inside linebackers (two seasons) and served as the head junior varsity coach for two years (2005-06).

He led the JV team to an 11-0 record in his two years at the helm. O’Rourke is also heavily involved in special teams, coaching the kickoff return team for the past four years and before that the punt block team for four years. He has been an integral part of a staff that has brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight with a 92-49 (.652) record over the last 11 years, that includes 10 bowl games and nine Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies.

Navy finished the 2013 campaign with a 9-4 record, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the ninth time in the last 11 years, qualified for a bowl game for the 10th time in the last 11 years, won a bowl game for just the eighth time in school history (beat Middle Tennessee, 24-6, in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl) and defeated Army for a series-record 12th consecutive year. The 2013 squad is just the fifth in Navy history to win at least nine games in a season, beat Army and win a bowl game. The 1957, 1978, 2004 and 2009 teams also achieved that feat.

The offense led the nation in fewest turnovers (10), was second in rushing offense (325.4), third in fewest tackles for a loss allowed per game (3.62), sixth in passing yards per completion (15.1), sixth in third down conversions (.511), 11th in fourth down conversions (.679) and 12th in fewest fumbles lost (6).

Navy scored a touchdown on 45 percent (58130) of its drives last year, which was the sixth-best percentage in the country, and went three-andout just 17 percent of the time (23 times in 135 possessions), which was tied for the fourth-best percentage in the country.

O’Rourke helped lead Navy to an 8-5 record in 2012 and a berth in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

Navy defeated Air Force, 28-21, in overtime and

Education West Georgia, B.S., 1999 Temple, M.Ed., 2002 Wife Michelle Children Kaeli and Sean

Army, 17-13, to win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

The win over Army marked Navy’s 11th consecutive victory over its biggest rivals.

Navy posted a 5-7 record in 2011 that included a series record 10th-straight victory over Army. Navy played seven teams that finished with a winning record and six that went to bowl games.

The Mids posted an impressive 9-4 record in 2010, defeated Army for a series-record ninth-consecutive time, defeated Notre Dame in consecutive seasons for only the third time in school history and appeared in a school-record eighth-consecutive bowl game.

The Mids finished sixth in the country in rushing offense (284.8) and ninth in the country in passing efficiency (156.7).

The 2009 season was one to remember, as the Mids tied a school record for wins with 10, won a school-record seventh-consecutive CommanderIn-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a school-record seventh-consecutive bowl game and ran its winning streak against the other two Service Academies to an amazing 15-straight games. The Mids capped the season off with a 35-13 rout of Missouri in the Texas Bowl. The offense finished fourth in the country in rushing, averaging 280.5 yards per game.

The Mids posted an 8-5 record in 2008 and participated in the EagleBank Bowl. The Mids won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy thanks to a 33-27 victory over Air Force and a 34-0 win over Army.

The 2007 season was one to remember as well as the Midshipmen posted an 8-5 record, won a school-record fifth-consecutive CommanderIn-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a school-record fifth-straight bowl game, and defeated Notre Dame for the first time since 1963.

In 2005, O’Rourke helped tutor a young secondary that continued to improve throughout the year as Navy finished 8-4, won a schoolrecord second-straight bowl game and won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

In 2004, O’Rourke’s efforts helped Navy win a school-record tying 10 games (the most wins since 1905), win the Emerald Bowl and capture the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

In 2003, O’Rourke was part of a defensive staff that saw great improvement on the defensive side of the football as the Mids posted an 8-5 record, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy and played in the Houston Bowl.

O’Rourke came to Navy from Valdosta State where he was the secondary coach for one year.

Prior to his coaching stint at Valdosta, he coached the safeties at Georgia Southern in 2000 and helped the Eagles to a I-AA National Championship.

A native of Snellville, Ga., O’Rourke was a threeyear letter winner at West Georgia and helped lead the team to back-to-back league titles his junior and senior years.

He was also an academic all-conference performer throughout his collegiate career.

O’Rourke received his master’s degree in education administration from Temple in 2002. He and his wife, Michelle, have a daughter, Kaeli, and son, Sean.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I BRYCE MCDONALD DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS Bryce McDonald is in his third year as the Director of Football Operations after spending three years as the Executive Administrator and Military Liaison Officer for the football team. McDonald also assists Coach Niumatalolo and the military officer representatives with professional development and molding Navy football players to assume future positions of leadership in the Navy and Marine Corps.

A 2003 graduate of the Naval Academy, McDonald was a three-year letterwinner at fullback for the Midshipmen.

His senior year he was coached by current offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper.

Following graduation, McDonald was commissioned into the United States Marine Corps and served until 2012.

McDonald and his wife, Jana, are the parents of daughters, Kayleigh and Kendall, and son, Thomas.

JOHN MCGUIRE VIDEO COORDINATOR John McGuire enters his 19th year as Navy’s Director of Video Operations. Since coming to the Naval Academy in 1996, he has overseen the growth of the Ricketts Hall video department to its present standing as one of the best in collegiate athletics.

In 2004, McGuire helped with the renovation of the football offices and meeting rooms to insure their compatibility with the latest state-of-the-art digital and computer technology. Coaches and players can gain instant access to the information most important in preparing for the opponent each week. The capabilities of the system networked throughout the building allow meeting and film study time to be used in an extremely efficient manner with minimal waste during an always busy day. The addition and continual upgrade of this system assures Navy football of being technologically compatible well into the new century.

In the spring of 2009 a new editing system, DVSport, was installed in both the football and men’s lacrosse offices.

This system’s capabilities allow even more latitude for the

coaches and players to make the most efficient use of their time. Laptop technology allows video to be viewed and studied at the office, on the road or at home.

While keeping in step with the latest advances, the video department is also working to preserve Navy’s rich athletic past. Football films from as far back as the 1926 Army-Navy game in Chicago have recently been transferred to a video format.

A native of Philadelphia, McGuire is a 1978 graduate of Villanova, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing. He came to the Naval Academy from Rutgers, where he served as Director of Video Operations for four years.

While at Rutgers, McGuire was instrumental in the development of the state-of-the-art integrated video system installed in Rutgers’ new stadium, constructed in 1994.

Prior to Rutgers, McGuire worked for Tucker Sport Films of Philadelphia for 15 years. During this period, he became the Film Coordinator for the Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars of the United States Football League.

GREG MORGENTHALER ASSISTANT ATHLETIC DIRECTOR FOR EQUIPMENT OPERATIONS Greg Morgenthaler is in his 12th season at the Naval Academy and his ninth as the Assistant Athletic Director for Equipment Operations.

Morgenthaler came to the Naval Academy from Sacred Heart, where he served as Equipment Coordinator for three years. A 1998 graduate of Kansas with a Bachelor of Science in education, Morgenthaler was a student manager with the Jayhawk football team that won the 1995 Aloha Bowl.

Morgenthaler began his career as an equipment manager intern at Virginia. He then served as a graduate assistant equipment manager at Oklahoma, while working on his Master’s degree in athletic administration. Upon leaving Oklahoma, Morgenthaler had a brief stint as head equipment manager in the defunct Spring Professional Football League for the San Antonio Matadors.

Morgenthaler is a certified member of the Athletic Equipment Managers Association (AEMA) and was named the AEMA Equipment Manager of the Year for 2012-13. He was elected the District Director for District 2 in 2009 and was the District 2 Equipment Manager of the Year in 2010.

He is also a member of the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA).

Morgenthaler and his wife, Kris, who is the Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Promotions at the Naval Academy, reside in Annapolis and they have two daughters, Kelsey and Karlee.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I ARMY-NAVY GAME RECAPS NAVY 11, ARMY 7

Dec. 1, 1900 – Philadelphia, Pa. Navy’s Bryon Long may have hit the game-tying field goal in the first half, but his recovery of a blocked punt in the end zone proved more valuable in the Midshipmen’s 11-7 win over Army.

Emory Land’s touchdown run early in the second half snapped a 5-5 tie and made the score 11-5 after Orie Fowler’s extra point. Then, with 10 seconds left in the game, the Cadets’ Quinn Gray blocked Charles Belknap’s punt into the Navy end zone. If Gray recovers the punt, it’s an Army touchdown. But if Long recovers it, it’s a safety. Fortunately for the Midshipmen, Long pounced on the ball in the end zone, and Navy had itself an 11-7 triumph.

ARMY 11, NAVY 5

The 1890 Navy team defeated Army, 24-0, in the first meeting between the schools.

NAVY 24, ARMY 0

Nov. 29, 1890 – West Point, N.Y. Veteran Red Emerich scored 20 of Navy’s 24 points in its seriesopening shutout of the host Cadets. Moulton Johnson added the other touchdown (touchdowns were worth four points), as the Mids served as Army’s first college football opponent.

ARMY 32, NAVY 16

Nov. 28, 1891 – Annapolis, Md. Army avenged its series-opening loss to Navy by doubling up the Midshipmen, 32-16, in Annapolis.

The Cadets overpowered the Midshipmen on the ground, scoring three first-half touchdowns to take an 18-6 lead at intermission. Elmer Clark scored on two touchdown runs, while plebe Fine Smith blocked Worth Bagley’s punt and returned it for a touchdown.

Navy was not to be embarrassed on its home field and answered with touchdowns from C.F. Maclin and Henry Pearson to open the second half.

Nonetheless, the Cadets padded their lead with two more touchdowns to provide the 16-point difference.

NAVY 12, ARMY 4

Nov. 26, 1892 – West Point, N.Y. Worth Bagley proved to be quite valuable to Navy, accounting for eight of the team’s 12 points in a 12-4 win over Army.

All of the scoring came in the second half. Walter Izard had Navy’s first touchdown run, and Bagley added the conversion. Army’s Thomas Carson answered with a touchdown for the Cadets, but Bagley put the game away with six more points late in the half.

ARMY 22, NAVY 8

Nov. 29, 1902 – Philadelphia, Pa. Offense, defense and special teams each had a hand in Army’s 22-8 victory over Navy. Paul Bunker and quarterback Charles Daly each had rushing touchdowns for the Cadets, while Navy’s Ralph Strassburger tackled Daly in the end zone for a safety. Navy cut Army’s lead to 10-8 just before halftime when Strassburger returned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown.

The Cadets held off the furious Navy comeback with a pair of secondhalf touchdowns. Bunker reached the end zone for the second time that afternoon, while Daly scored a touchdown and added the extra point.

ARMY 40, NAVY 5

Nov. 28, 1903 – Philadelphia, Pa. Army used two Navy fumbles and a blocked field goal attempt to overcome a five-point deficit and overwhelm the Midshipmen, 40-5.

Navy took a 5-0 lead on an H.L. Chambers field goal in the first half, but that was the extent of the Mids’ offensive output. They mustered just three first downs the rest of the day. Army, on the other hand, boasted a balanced scoring attack. Fred Prince had 15 points, Ray Hill added 10, Tom Doe seven, Russell Davis five, while Ernest Graves, Charles Davis and Horatio Hackett had one point each.

Dec. 2, 1893 – Annapolis, Md. Henry Kimball’s one-yard touchdown run and two-point conversion was all Navy needed in a 6-4 victory over Army. The Cadets’ Thomas Carson responded with his second touchdown in as many years against Navy, but the two-point conversion was unsuccessful.

ARMY 17, NAVY 5

Nov. 30, 1901 – Philadelphia, Pa. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt, who was sworn in as chief executive right after William McKinley was assassinated, became the first president to watch an Army-Navy game. He saw Army quarterback Charles Daly turn in a fine individual performance, leading the Cadets past Navy, 11-5.

Daly opened the scoring with a first-half field goal, only to have Navy’s Newton Nichols tie the score with a touchdown just before intermission.

The multi-talented Daly then took the wind out of Navy’s sails with a 95yard kickoff return for a touchdown to open the second half and clinch the 11-5 victory.

Dec. 2, 1899 – Philadelphia, Pa. In the first Army-Navy game held at Franklin Field, Army’s Verne Rockwell and Bob Jackson combined to score three touchdowns in the Cadets’ 17-5 victory. Considering Navy had shut out its previous three opponents — North Carolina, Trinity and Lehigh — by a combined 71-0 score, this game was termed an upset of sorts.

After Jackson started the scoring in the first half with a short run, Navy drove to the Army nine-yard line before time ran out in the half.

Rockwell and Jackson tallied second-half scores, as the Cadets took a commanding 17-0 lead. The Midshipmen avoided a shutout when Ward Wortman scored with just seconds left in the game.

Nov. 26, 1904 – Philadelphia, Pa. Midway through the first half, Navy lined up to accept Army’s punt at the 50-yard line. The ball apparently touched Navy’s Homer Norton, and the Cadets’ Art Tipton, racing down the field, kicked the ball ahead of him. The game had suddenly transformed into a modern day soccer match, with Tipton kicking the ball once again toward the Navy goal line.

When the ball reached the end zone, Tipton fell on top of it for Army’s first touchdown.

Despite the controversy surrounding this incident, it was ruled a touchdown and set the tone for Army’s 11-0 triumph. This was the Cadets’ fourth win in a row over Navy and Army’s first shutout in series history.

After five years with a victory in the series, Navy got back on the winning side of things with a 10-0 win over Army in 1906.

Dec. 2, 1905 – Princeton, N.J. Princeton President Woodrow Wilson convinced West Point and Annapolis officials to play the 1905 Army-Navy game at Princeton, where the two service academies battled to a 6-6 tie.

It was immediately obvious that Princeton was ill-equipped to handle the large crowd in attendance, as a huge traffic jam made both teams late for kickoff. As a result, the game was suspended with four minutes left due to darkness. Henry Torney scored Navy’s touchdown early in the first half, while Archibald Douglas tallied Army’s touchdown.

Dec. 1, 1906 – Philadelphia, Pa. “Anchors Aweigh” made its debut at the 1906 Army-Navy game, and the Midshipmen took the song to heart in defeating the Cadets, 10-0. The win over Army was Navy’s first since 1900.

The 1906 football season was memorable nationwide, as it marked the debut of the forward pass. Navy coach Paul Dashiell added a twist to this new rule to help his team to victory. Thanks to a long field goal by Percy Northcroft, Navy led 4-0 in the second half. On the Mids’ next possession, Navy’s Homer Norton dropped back in punt formation. Yet, when the ball was snapped, he threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jonas Ingram to give Navy the 10-0 victory.

NAVY 6, ARMY 0

Nov. 30, 1907 – Philadelphia, Pa. Navy combined an early Army turnover with a solid defensive outing to turn back the Cadets, 6-0.

The Midshipmen’s Percy Wright recovered Frederick Montiford’s punt at the Army 25-yard line. It took Navy six plays to score, as Archibald Douglas plowed through from the one-yard line to give Navy all of the points it would need in its second-straight shutout over Army.

ARMY 6, NAVY 4

Nov. 28, 1908 – Philadelphia, Pa. Ed Lange’s fumble on the opening kickoff proved costly to Navy, as Army’s Henry Chamberlain retrieved the loose ball and raced all the way to the Navy one-yard line.

From there, Bill Dean crossed the goal line for the touchdown (worth five points). He kicked the extra point himself to account for all six points in the 6-4 Army win. Lange somewhat redeemed himself by kicking a second-half field goal (worth four points), but it wasn’t enough to upend the Cadets.

NAVY 3, ARMY 0

Nov. 26, 1910 – Philadelphia, Pa. Seven proved to be a lucky number for both Jack Dalton and his Midshipmen teammates.

After missing his first-six field goal attempts in the 1910 Army-Navy game, Dalton connected on his seventh, which was all Navy needed in a 3-0 triumph. This field goal was also valuable in that it capped the Mids’ first undefeated season, a year that saw them outscore all nine opponents, 99-0. Dalton’s field goal was the lone offensive highlight in a game that saw both clubs combine to punt 40 times.

Nov. 25, 1911 – Philadelphia, Pa. On paper, the 1911 Army-Navy game was slated to be an even matchup. Army entered the season finale 6-0-1, while Navy was 5-0-3.

Each team had surrendered less than two points per contest, while averaging two touchdowns per outing. The game lived up to its billing, with Jack Dalton’s second-quarter field goal proving to be the difference in a 3-0 win. Dalton did much more than kick a field goal, however. He had a pair of 15-yard runs on the Mids’ scoring drive and also recorded a 72-yard punt.

Nov. 30, 1912 – Philadelphia, Pa. At 6-2, 228 pounds, Navy’s John “Babe” Brown was not your typical placekicker. In fact, he used his imposing frame to his advantage in the 1912 Army game, and the result benefitted all of the Midshipmen. With five minutes left in the game, he lined up to attempt a field goal. But rather than dropkick the ball when it was snapped to him, he took off running before the Cadets tackled him at the five-yard line. He booted a 12-yard field goal two plays later and tacked on a 35-yarder with less than a minute left to give Navy a 6-0 victory. The triumph was Navy’s sixth in nine decisions and dropped Army’s final record to 5-3.

ARMY 22, NAVY 9

Nov. 29, 1913 – New York, N.Y. Navy coach Doug Howard could look at the 1913 season from two perspectives. His defense allowed a total of 29 points in nine games, which is quite impressive. But when you consider the Midshipmen allowed 22 in one game, and it was the game against Army, Howard’s club did not end the year on a solid note.

Indeed, Navy would need more than three Babe Brown field goals to overcome the Cadets. Vernon Prichard and Louis Merrilat caught the Midshipmen defense off-guard with two touchdown passes, and Merrilat’s 60-yard run set up West Point’s other score in the 13-point victory.

ARMY 20, NAVY 0

Nov. 28, 1914 – Philadelphia, Pa. Army capped its first undefeated season (9-0) with a “textbook perfect” 20-0 triumph over Navy. The Cadets took advantage of a blocked punt and two Navy fumbles to score their first 14 points. After forcing Navy to punt on its opening possession, Louis Merrilat blocked the punt in the end zone for a safety. The Mids’ H.C. Blodgett fumbled a second-quarter punt that Robert Neyland picked up at the Navy 20-yard line. One play later, Merrilat was in the end zone after catching a 20-yard touchdown pass from Vernon Pritchard. Finally, Blodgett fumbled a second punt that quarter which resulted in a Paul Hodgson one-yard touchdown run.

Nov. 27, 1915 – New York, N.Y. The 1915 Army-Navy game marked the first time each team wore numbered jerseys for identification. However, the Navy offense finished with the same number it had a year ago, 0, as Army blanked the Midshipmen, 14-0.

Elmer “Ollie” Oliphant certainly left his impression on the Navy defense, accounting for 130 of his team’s 196 total offensive yards, along with 11 punt returns for 114 yards. The contest once again fell victim to bad weather, which factored into a combined 30 punts and 10 turnovers between the two teams.

ARMY 15, NAVY 7

Nov. 25, 1916 – New York, N.Y. Through 103 Army-Navy games, there has been one constant — neither team can afford to miss an extra point. Of course, there are exceptions to this standard. Take 1916, when Ollie Oliphant missed the extra point on Army’s first score of the afternoon. Army coach Charles Daly could not have been that upset, considering Oliphant had carried the ball three times for 89 yards during that drive. It was just a sign of things to come for Navy, which suffered a 15-7 defeat at the hands of the Cadets.

Oliphant added a field goal late in the first quarter, and the Cadets used a trick play for their final score of the day. Army was attempting a field goal when holder Charles Gerhardt took the snap and threw to fullback Eugene Vidal for the touchdown.

Navy scored its first series touchdown since 1907 when Harry Goodstein blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown.

NAVY 6, ARMY 0

Nov. 29, 1919 – New York, N.Y. After a two-year series hiatus due to World War I, Army and Navy renewed their heated rivalry in 1919. Despite posting seven times as much total offensive yardage as the Cadets, Navy could only manage a pair of Clyde King field goals. Fortunately for Naval Academy fans, that was enough for a 6-0 win. The victory marked the fourth time in 10 years that Navy had beaten Army strictly by kicking field goals.

Although the game was played in a steady downpour, neither team lost a fumble or committed a turnover. The Midshipmen finished the year 6-1, while the Cadets were 6-3.

NAVY 7, ARMY 0

Nov. 27, 1920 – New York, N.Y. Navy’s first offensive touchdown in 10 Army-Navy games proved to be a big one, handing the Cadets a 7-0 defeat. This also evened the all-time series mark at 11-11-2.

Army was unable to convert on any of its three first-half field goal attempts, forcing the teams into halftime deadlocked in a scoreless tie.

This remained until Vic Noyes tossed a seven-yard touchdown to Ben Koehler for the score. The Midshipmen nullified any hopes of an Army comeback with an interception at midfield to end the game.

NAVY 7, ARMY 0

Nov. 26, 1921 – New York, N.Y. Allowing just 124 yards of total offense, Navy posted its sixth shutout in its last seven wins with a 7-0 victory over Army.

Vince Conroy gave Navy all the points it needed with a short touchdown run midway though the first quarter. The Midshipmen defense sealed the deal with a superb effort, halting the Cadets on two key occasions.

Army had driven to the Navy 33-yard line in the fourth quarter, as Denis Mulligan’s field goal attempt fell short. The Midshipmen’s Ira McKee spoiled Army’s next hope with an interception at the Navy eight-yard line.

This win was Navy’s third-straight victory over its archrival. In addition to outscoring Army 20-0 in the last three quarters, Navy had a 40-13 advantage in first downs and had outgained the Cadets, 683-230.

ARMY 17, NAVY 14

Nov. 25, 1922 – Philadelphia, Pa. Army’s George Smythe proved to be a thorn in Navy’s side, as his 47-yard punt return set up his seven-yard touchdown pass to Fran Dodd and gave the Cadets a 17-14 win before 55,000 fans at Philadelphia’s Franklin Field.

Trailing 10-7, momentum swung to Navy’s side as Vince Conroy’s one-yard touchdown run gave the Midshipmen a 14-10 lead at the start of the fourth quarter. However, the excitement shifted back to the Army sideline, as Smythe’s punt return and touchdown pass gave the Cadets a lead they would not relinquish. The Army defense clinched the victory by stopping Navy at the Cadet 22-yard line late in the game. Despite the final outcome, the Midshipmen won the statistical battle, outgaining Army, 283-154.

NAVY 0, ARMY 0

Nov. 24, 1923 – New York, N.Y. The 1923 Army-Navy game may have resulted in a scoreless tie, but that doesn’t mean the afternoon was lacking in excitement. After all, when the two teams combine to punt 26 times, something is bound to happen — maybe even more than once.

On the first play of the fourth quarter, Army’s Henry Baxter blocked Navy punter Carl Cullen’s kick. The alert Cullen scrambled to recover the punt inside his own 10-yard line, which under the rules allowed Navy to retain possession. Although this was long before instant replay existed, the 65,000 fans were treated to the same incident on Navy’s next punt.

Again, the Mids were inside their own 10-yard line as August Farwick got a hand on Cullen’s kick, which the Navy punter also recovered.

Navy closed its season with a 14-14 tie against Washington in the Rose Bowl to finish 5-1-3 on the year.

ARMY 12, NAVY 0

Nov. 29, 1924 – Baltimore, Md. Given the choice of where to play the 1924 Army-Navy game, Annapolis officials chose Baltimore’s 80,000-seat stadium. But this supposed home field advantage did not pay the dividends the Mids had hoped, as Edgar Garbisch booted four field goals to give Army a 12-0 win.

He may have accounted for all 12 points, but Garbisch had the opportunity to score 21 against the Mids. Army’s opening drive ended with Garbisch attempting a 30-yard dropkick field goal, however, it was blocked. Garbisch recovered the block, but his 40-yard attempt four downs later fell short. He also had a 45-yard attempt midway through the second quarter that sailed wide.

Navy may not have reached the end zone, but it wasn’t due to a lack of effort. The Mids set a then series record by completing 12-of-22 passes for 50 yards. The Army victory gave the Cadets a 13-12-2 series advantage, a lead it would not relinquish for 56 years.

ARMY 10, NAVY 3

Nov. 28, 1925 – New York, N.Y. Six turnovers proved to be Navy’s demise, as Army held on for a 10-3 triumph before 60,000 fans at the Polo Grounds.

After driving to the Army three-yard line early in the second quarter, Navy had to settle for a 12-yard field goal by Tom Hamilton. The Cadets, on the other hand, were able to capitalize upon a fourth down situation just before halftime. On fourth-and-four from the nine, Neil Harding hit Henry Baxter for the touchdown and the 7-3 win. Russell Reeder tacked on a field goal in the fourth quarter for the victory.

ARMY 21, NAVY 21

Nov. 27, 1926 – Chicago, Ill. In his first season as head coach at his alma mater, West Point graduate Biff Jones used an intriguing strategy for the Army-Navy game.

By starting his second-team units against the Midshipmen, he hoped to give Navy a false sense of confidence. The Mids took full advantage of the “mismatch,” as touchdown runs by Henry Caldwell and James Schuber handed Army an early deficit.

The Cadets responded with three touchdowns, the last a 44-yard run by Chris Cagle, to take the lead by the end of the third quarter. Nonetheless,

Navy played Army to a 21-21 tie in 1926 at Soldier Field in Chicago. an eight-yard touchdown run by Alan Shapley in the fourth quarter salvaged a 21-21 tie for Navy. Army may have spoiled the Midshipmen’s bid for a 10-0 record, but coach Bill Ingram’s club still laid claim to the national title.

ARMY 14, NAVY 9

Nov. 26, 1927 – New York, N.Y. In the last Army-Navy game played at the Polo Grounds, the Cadets overcame a pesky Midshipmen club to claim a 14-9 victory.

Navy held a 2-0 lead at halftime, but it could have just as easily been 16-0. On its first possession, Navy reached the Army eight-yard line, but came away without a point. Midway through the second quarter, the Mids’ Carl Giese blocked a punt out of the end zone to give Navy a 2-0 lead.

Navy had another chance to reach the end zone just before halftime, but Army stopped Joe Clifton on a fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line.

A two-yard run by Lighthorse Harry Wilson gave the Cadets a 7-2 advantage early in the third quarter. Army added another touchdown to its lead when Chris Cagle intercepted an Ed Hannegan pass and returned it 41 yards to the Navy four-yard line. Wilson scored again, and Army was on its way to the win. Navy scored its touchdown when Russell Lloyd hit Ted Sloane on a 28-yard touchdown, but it wasn’t enough.

ARMY 6, NAVY 0

Dec. 13, 1930 – New York, N.Y. A disagreement regarding eligibility policies may have cancelled the 1928 and ’29 Army-Navy games, but a capacity crowd at Yankee Stadium welcomed the rivalry’s return Dec. 13, 1930. Unfortunately for Navy, Army retained its recent series dominance with a 6-0 victory.

The final score certainly doesn’t reflect Army’s commanding performance, as the Cadets finished the afternoon with 265 yards of total offense, compared to 63 for the Midshipmen. Yet, Navy was able to keep Army off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter, when Ray Stecker ran 56 yards for the game’s lone score.

Navy had a chance to win the game on its final possession. Army’s Wendell Bowman fumbled a punt on his own 37-yard line, and the Midshipmen’s John Byng recovered. The Mids drove 12 yards, but were stopped on downs. The Cadets took over and advanced to the Navy seven-yard line as time ran out.

ARMY 17, NAVY 7

Dec. 12, 1931 – New York, N.Y. The running of Ed Herb and Ray Stecker paced Army to a 17-7 win over Navy at Yankee Stadium.

The first of Herb’s touchdown runs and a Travis Brown 25-yard field goal gave the Cadets a 10-0 halftime lead. Navy cut the deficit to 10-7 in the third quarter when Lou Kirn and Harvey Tschirgi connected on a 55-yard scoring strike. Herb then erased any hopes of a Navy triumph when he went up and over from the one-yard line late in the final stanza.

By reaching the end zone twice, Herb certainly garnered a majority of the headlines. However, the real hero was Stecker, who turned in a workmanlike 141 yards on 29 carries.

ARMY 20, NAVY 0

Dec. 3, 1932 – Philadelphia, Pa. Thanks in large part to a Navy offense that mustered just 15 yards on the ground and turned the ball over seven times, Army rolled to a 20-0 win over the Midshipmen.

Rip Miller’s club had an early indication this may not be its day when its opening drive was halted by an interception at the Army six-yard line.

On first down, the Cadets’ Kenneth Field “quick-kicked” the ball 85 yards to the Navy 15-yard line. Peck Vidal opened the scoring with a two-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, and Army added two more scores in the final half. Jack Buckler scored one on a short run and took a lateral from Tom Kilday and passed 43 yards to Bill Frentzer for the other touchdown.

ARMY 12, NAVY 7

Nov. 25, 1933 – Philadelphia, Pa. Army scored a pair of first-half touchdowns and held on for a 12-7 win over a feisty Rip Miller-coached Navy club. The win was Army’s ninth in as many games, and a Dec. 2 victory over 2-5-1 Notre Dame would all but guarantee the Cadets the 1933 national title. However, the Fighting Irish spoiled these hopes by handing Army a 13-12 setback.

For the first time since 1916, Army scored in the opening quarter against Navy. Paul Johnson took Bill Clark’s punt and returned it 81 yards for the touchdown. But the extra point was blocked, which enabled Navy to take a 7-6 lead when Red Baumberger galloped 38 yards to the Cadet end zone. Nonetheless, Army’s Jack Buckler, whose extra point was blocked on his team’s first score, raced 25 yards for the winning touchdown in the second half.

NAVY 3, ARMY 0

Dec. 1, 1934 – Philadelphia, Pa. Despite the driving rainstorm at Franklin Field, Navy kicker Slade Cutter’s 28-yard field goal ended an 11-game drought, as the Midshipmen’s 3-0 win marked their first triumph over Army since 1921.

Nothing indicates the treacherous weather conditions better than the final statistics. Army and Navy combined to record five first downs and 132 yards of total offense between them. Collectively, they also completed three-of-eight passes and punted 25 times.

ARMY 28, NAVY 6

Nov. 30, 1935 – Philadelphia, Pa. The 1935 matchup was a tale of two halves. In the first two quarters, Army piled up 303 yards of total offense, holding Navy to just 37. Yet, in the second half, the Mids had more than eight times the total offense than that of the Cadets — 259 yards to 31 for Army. Despite these similarities, there was also one visible difference. Army scored four times in its half, while the Mids were unable to reach the end zone. Final score: Army 28, Navy 6.

Quarterback Monk Meyer had 35- and 40-yard touchdown passes in the opening half, while Whitey Grove added an 80-yard touchdown run on a reverse. Sneed Schmidt’s four-yard touchdown plunge in the fourth quarter was the only offensive highlight in the Midshipmen’s season finale.

Nov. 28, 1936 – Philadelphia, Pa. In an effort to meet the supreme ticket demand, the 1936 game was moved from 88,000-seat Franklin Field to 102,000-seat Municipal Stadium.

Despite driving deep into Navy territory in the first half, Army was unable to capitalize, as John Schmidt’s three-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter was all Navy needed for a 7-0 win over the Cadets.

Following the series’ first scoreless opening half since 1930, the third quarter was even less exciting. Army fumbled the football away on three of its next-four possessions, while the Midshipmen were unable to reach the Cadet end zone on three possessions. However, Navy was able to take advantage of a Monk Meyer fumble in the fourth quarter. Aided by a pass interference call against the Cadets’ Jim Craig, Schmidt scored his touchdown with two minutes left.

ARMY 6, NAVY 0

Nov. 27, 1937 – Philadelphia, Pa. In a game that saw the two teams punt a combined 32 times, Army’s Jim Craig managed to score on a three-yard touchdown run to give his team a 6-0 victory.

Craig’s run capped off a 44-yard scoring drive highlighted by a 19-yard pass from Woody Wilson to Jim Schwenk. The teams had a combined 255 yards of total offense, as Craig was the game’s high rusher with 47 yards on 20 carries.

ARMY 14, NAVY 7

Nov. 26, 1938 – Philadelphia, Pa. In front of 102,000 fans, the largest crowd to see a sporting event in 1938, Woody Wilson scored on a one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to help Army to a 14-6 win over Navy.

Army’s Charley Long brought the Cadet faithful to their feet in the first quarter when he returned Lem Cooke’s punt 79 yards for a touchdown.

Navy drove deep into Army territory on each of its next two possessions, only to be stopped once on downs and once on a Wilson interception.

However, Cooke tied the score with a one-yard touchdown run before halftime.

Navy opened the third quarter poised to take the lead, but Emmette Wood fumbled on the Cadet 17-yard line. Army more than capitalized on this miscue, driving the length of the field to take the lead, and eventually the win, on Wilson’s touchdown.

NAVY 10, ARMY 0

Dec. 2, 1939 – Philadelphia, Pa. When Emory “Swede” Larson took over the Navy program in 1939, no one had to define the magnitude of the Army-Navy rivalry to him. A three-year letterwinner (1919-21), Larson had played on three teams victorious over the Cadets. In fact, Larson arranged to have Billy VIII, Navy’s mascot, wear the same blanket that adorned the 1921 goat. This superstition must have paid off, as the Midshipmen shut out Army, 10-0.

Navy scored on its opening drive, as Ulmont Whitehead booted a 33yard field goal between the uprights to give the Mids a 3-0 lead. Halfback Dick Shafer added a 22-yard touchdown run in the last quarter, as Navy utilized six Army turnovers to finish 3-5-1 on the season.

NAVY 14, ARMY 0

Nov. 30, 1940 – Philadelphia, Pa. Navy celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Army-Navy game with a solid, all-around effort, resulting in a 14-0 triumph.

Navy scored on its first drive, as Bill Busik went the final two yards for the touchdown to make it 7-0. The Midshipmen covered 54 yards in 12 plays, with Busik accounting for 50 of those 54 yards. Although the Army offense could muster just 107 yards of total offense on the afternoon, the Cadet defense held Navy without a point on its next two drives, which were halted deep in Army territory. However, the Midshipmen tallied their final score in the third quarter when Howie Clark tossed a nine-yard touchdown pass to Everett Malcolm.

NAVY 14, ARMY 6

Nov. 29, 1941 – Philadelphia, Pa. As a Naval Academy player from 1919-21, Swede Larson never lost to Army. And in his first-two years as head coach, his teams shut out the Cadets by a combined score of 24-0.

But prior to the 1941 Army-Navy contest, the Marine major was informed he was being sent to the Naval War College in Newport, R.I. immediately after the football season. As you can imagine, he wanted nothing more than a final victory over Army, which is why he was less than pleased when his club trailed West Point, 6-0, at halftime.

Challenging his team to win its last battle on the football field, the Midshipmen answered the call in the second half. Bill Busik’s effective running and passing set up touchdowns by Phil Hurt and Howie Clark, which led to a 14-6 Navy win.

NAVY 14, ARMY 0

Nov. 28, 1942 – Annapolis, Md. In an effort to conserve transportation resources due to World War II, the Army-Navy game was moved to Annapolis in 1942 and West Point for 1943. This meant the West Point Corp of Cadets, with the exception of two cheerleaders, would not be permitted to attend the game, nor would anyone else outside a 10-mile radius of the Maryland state capital. Thus, half of the Brigade of Midshipmen would serve as the Army cheering section, while the other half would root for the Mids. As it turns out, the Cadets would need much more help than this, as Navy turned back Army, 14-0.

Backup halfback Joe Sullivan opened the scoring with a short touchdown run in the second quarter. Hillis Hume set up the other touchdown with an interception deep in Cadet territory midway through the third stanza. Hal Hamberg proceeded to hit Ben Martin with an 18yard scoring strike. Hume clinched the win with another interception of Army quarterback Doug Kenna at the Navy seven-yard line.

NAVY 13, ARMY 0

Nov. 27, 1943 – West Point, N.Y. For the first time in 50 years, West Point, N.Y. played host to an ArmyNavy game. The Midshipmen were less than gracious guests on the field, however, scoring two touchdowns in the second half of a 13-0 triumph.

In the first half, Army got inside the Navy 40-yard line three times but failed to reach the end zone. Navy finally cracked the scoreboard midway through the third quarter when Bob Jenkins capped a 42-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run. Jim Pettit then contributed two of the game’s biggest plays, one on each side of the ball. His one-yard touchdown run stretched the lead to 13-0, and he halted an Army drive at the Navy 24 when he intercepted Doug Kenna’s pass.

ARMY 23, NAVY 7

Dec. 2, 1944 – Baltimore, Md. Two weeks prior to the 1944 Army-Navy game, President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced the contest would be moved from Annapolis to Baltimore as part of the “Sixth War Bond Drive.” The U.S. Treasury Department designated 20,000 seats as War Bond Seats. In other words, buy a war bond and get a free ticket to the game. The arrangement not only generated $58.6 million in war bonds, but also allowed 70,000 fans to see a 23-7 Army win.

Dale Hall put Army on the scoreboard with a 20-yard touchdown run, and Joe Stanowicz’s blocked punt in the end zone stretched the lead to 9-0 in the third quarter. Clyde Scott’s one-yard touchdown run cut the deficit to 9-7, but “Mr. Inside,” Doc Blanchard, and “Mr. Outside,” Glenn Davis, each scored fourth-quarter touchdowns to put the game out of reach. The 9-0 Cadets closed the fall atop the Associated Press poll, while 6-3 Navy finished fourth.

Dec. 1, 1945 – Philadelphia, Pa. Navy entered the 1945 season finale toting a 7-0-1 record. The No. 2 Midshipmen defense opened the season with three-consecutive shutouts and had never allowed more than one touchdown in any of the following five contests. However, it hadn’t played an offense as potent as No. 1 Army, who posted a decisive 32-13 win.

Felix “Doc” Blanchard caught the attention of the Heisman Trophy voters, who awarded the Army halfback with the honor days after his three-touchdown performance. The Cadets jumped out to a 20-0 lead, and the Mids were unable to recover. They scored their first touchdown on a 39-yard Bruce Smith-to-Clyde Scott touchdown to cut the halftime deficit to 20-7.

Blanchard erased any hope of a Navy comeback when he intercepted Smith’s pass and returned it 52 yards for his last touchdown of the game.

Smith returned the favor by intercepting a Glenn Davis pass to set up Navy’s second touchdown, a Joe Bartos three-yard plunge. Finally, Davis atoned for his aerial miscue by scampering 28 yards for the final score to give Army the win and eventual national title.

ARMY 21, NAVY 18

Nov. 30, 1946 – Philadelphia, Pa. After finishing second in the final 1945 AP poll, Navy endured the other end of the spectrum in 1946. With just eight returning lettermen, Navy struggled to a 1-8 campaign. While these eight losses included a 21-18 defeat at the hands of rival Army, it was the Cadets who held the short end of the stick when all was said and done.

Three weeks before its annual grudge match against Navy, No. 2 Army and No. 1 Notre Dame played to a scoreless tie. And while the Cadets would battle the Mids on Nov. 30, the Fighting Irish were set to meet Southern California. Thus, the outcomes on this day were critical to the final AP polls.

Down 21-6 at halftime, Navy came back with a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter — Bill Hawkins had a two-yard rushing touchdown, and Reaves Baysinger hit Leon Bramlett for a short touchdown to bring the Midshipmen within three points.

Unfortunately for the Mids, they were unable to convert on any of the extra points, and the Cadets prevailed. Unfortunately for Army, AP voters took more notice of Notre Dame’s 26-6 victory than they did of Army’s narrow triumph, voting Notre Dame first in the final AP poll.

ARMY 21, NAVY 0

Nov. 29, 1947 – Philadelphia, Pa. In front of 103,000 fans, including President Harry S. Truman, Army scored one touchdown in each of the first-three quarters to cruise to a 21-0 victory over Navy.

A Bill Hawkins fumble led to Army’s first touchdown, as Bill Kellum caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Elwyn Rowan.

Navy drove right back down the field on the next possession, but turned the ball over on downs inside the Army 10-yard line.

On Army’s first play from scrimmage, Rowan went around the end and down the field 92 yards for the go-ahead score. He finished the afternoon with 148 yards rushing.

NAVY 21, ARMY 21

Nov. 27, 1948 – Philadelphia, Pa. Considering Army entered the 1948 season finale with an 8-0 mark, as opposed to Navy’s 0-8 record, it should not be a surprise that the Cadets were a 20-point favorite. Yet, the Midshipmen proved the oddsmakers wrong by battling Army to a 21-21 tie.

Navy quarterback Reaves Baysinger opened the scoring with a twoyard touchdown run midway through the first quarter. However, short touchdown runs by Rudolph Cosentino and Harold Shultz enabled the Cadets to take a 14-7 lead at the half.

Navy responded with a one-yard Bill Hawkins touchdown run to tie the game at 14 in the third quarter. Army then took its second lead of the game when quarterback Arnold Galiffa scored on a 10-yard bootleg.

Finally, Hawkins preserved the tie with clutch plays on both sides of the ball. He followed a one-yard touchdown run by knocking away a Galiffa pass on fourth down to end the game.

ARMY 38, NAVY 0

Nov. 26, 1949 – Philadelphia, Pa. If Navy had any question about Army’s No. 4 national ranking in 1949, the Cadets erased those doubts with a 38-0 trouncing of the Midshipmen in the 50th meeting between the two academies.

The statistics certainly told the story on this afternoon — Army had 27 first downs compared to eight for Navy, not to mention a 459-107 advantage in total offensive yardage. The Mids advanced no further than the Army 47-yard line, as Cadet fullback Gil Stephenson gained 127 yards on 26 attempts.

NAVY 14, ARMY 2

Dec. 2, 1950 – Philadelphia, Pa. In 1950, Eddie Erdelatz took over the helm of the Midshipmen football program. Although his team struggled to a 3-6 record, the rookie head coach became well acquainted with the magnitude of the Army-Navy rivalry, as his Mids stunned the No. 2 Cadets, 14-2.

Navy scored both of its touchdowns in the second half. The first came on a seven-yard run by quarterback Bob “Zug” Zastrow. Later, Zastrow found end Jim Baldinger in the end zone for a 30-yard score and a 14-0 lead.

Baldinger and Zastrow may have stolen the headlines, but the true heroes were the Navy defensive players. The high-powered Cadet offense managed just one first down and three paltry yards of offense in the first half, and the second half wasn’t much better. Army advanced inside Navy’s 20-yard line seven times in the third and fourth quarters, but came away with nothing to show for it.

NAVY 42, ARMY 7

Dec. 1, 1951 – Philadelphia, Pa. For the first time in series history, the Army-Navy game would be shown on live television. However, this was hardly a “made for TV” special, as both the Midshipmen and Cadets entered the annual grudge match with losing records for the first time ever. Nonetheless, Navy ended its season on a much more pleasant note with a 42-7 victory.

Ironically, the game’s biggest play was significant in more ways than one. Trailing 14-7, Army was driving to tie the score. On third-and-goal from the Navy six, Freddie Meyers’ pass was intercepted by Navy’s John Raster who returned it 101 yards for a touchdown. This took what could have been a 14-14 game and made it a 21-7 Navy lead.

NAVY 7, ARMY 0

Nov. 29, 1952 – Philadelphia, Pa. When a team gains three times as much total offensive yardage as its opponent, as Navy (323) did against Army (106) in 1952, one would think the score would be much loftier than 7-0. However, factor in the 13 turnovers committed by both teams, and the picture becomes much clearer.

The 13 miscues, seven by Army and six by the Midshipmen, tied the series record set in 1950. Halfback Phil Monahan was the only player to reach the end zone when he popped over from the two-yard line. Navy advanced inside Army’s 35-yard line eight more times, but came away

The Midshipmen finished 6-2-1 on the year, while the Cadets dropped to 4-4-1.

ARMY 20, NAVY 7

Nov. 28, 1953 – Philadelphia, Pa. The 1953 Army-Navy game was full of surprises. Navy elected to receive the opening kickoff, but the Cadets recovered their own onsides kick. This set the stage for sophomore fullback Pat Uebel, whose three touchdowns, including a 70-yard punt return, propelled Army past Navy, 20-7.

After Uebel’s five-yard touchdown run made it 7-0, Navy had the chance to tie the score late in the first quarter. The Midshipmen drove to the Army six-yard line, but George Welsh’s pass was intercepted in the end zone. Navy avoided the shutout when Jack Garrow scored on an eight-yard run with 44 seconds left on the clock.

NAVY 27, ARMY 20

Nov. 27, 1954 – Philadelphia, Pa. With each team boasting an offense ranked among the top three in the nation, the 1954 Army-Navy game certainly lived up to its billing. The lead was exchanged several times before the No. 6 Midshipmen, “The Team Named Desire,” posted a 27-20 victory over the No. 5 Cadets.

Down 14-6 midway through the first half, Army roared back to take a 20-14 lead. The Cadets’ Don Holleder recovered Dick Guest’s fumble at the Navy three-yard line, and Pat Uebel slammed it home from there to cut the lead to 14-13 after the extra point. A little more than a minute later, quarterback Pete Vann hit Bob Kyarsky with a swing pass, and the swift halfback raced 42 yards for the go-ahead score.

After battling back to take the lead, Army spoiled its fortune by attempting an onsides kick that was unsuccessful. Quarterback George Welsh and his teammates took over at midfield, and six plays later, they led 21-20 after Welsh’s five-yard run and John Weaver’s extra point.

Navy opened the second half by driving to Army’s nine-yard line, only to fumble. Fortunately for Eddie Erdelatz’s club, the Cadets were forced to punt on their ensuing possession. Navy made the most of this opportunity, as an Earle Smith five-yard touchdown run made it 27-20.

The Midshipmen preserved the victory with a dramatic goal-line stand midway through the fourth quarter and held Army at midfield to end the game.

ARMY 14, NAVY 6

Nov. 26, 1955 – Philadelphia, Pa. Although he failed to complete either one of his pass attempts, Army quarterback Don Holleder efficiently directed his team past Navy, 14-6.

Navy jumped out to a 6-0 lead, thanks to quarterback George Welsh’s one-yard touchdown run. However, Army’s one-two rushing combination of Pat Uebel and Peter Lash wore down the Midshipmen, as both Cadets managed a touchdown in the second half. Thus, despite posting more first downs (19) and more total offensive yards (330) than Army, Navy could not reach the end zone in the second half.

NAVY 7, ARMY 7

Dec. 1, 1956 – Philadelphia, Pa. Considering there were nine turnovers between the two teams, it was rather appropriate that the two touchdowns scored in the 1956 game were the result of opponent miscues. In the third quarter, Army’s David Bourland intercepted Tom Forrestal’s pass and returned it 26 yards to set up Bob Kyasky’s four-yard touchdown run and a 7-0 lead.

In the fourth quarter, one of Army’s eight fumbles led to a one-yard touchdown run by Rick Dagampat.

NAVY 14, ARMY 0

Nov. 30, 1957 – Philadelphia, Pa. Just as running back Ned Oldham was a two-time Naval Academy debate champion, the Midshipmen’s 14-0 win over Army left little doubt coach Eddie Erdelatz’s club was among the top-five teams in the nation.

Navy followed its Army shutout with a 20-7 win over Rice in the Cotton Bowl. This placed the Mids No. 5 nationally with a 9-1-1 mark.

While Oldham scampered 44 yards for his second touchdown of the day, the Navy defense slowed Army to just 136 total yards. The Cadets entered the game averaging better than 400 yards per game rushing and passing. Defensive guard Bob Caldwell and defensive back Tom Forrestal preserved the shutout with clutch fourth-quarter plays. Caldwell recovered a fourth-quarter fumble at the Navy nine-yard line, and Forrestal picked off a pass in the end zone.

ARMY 22, NAVY 6

Nov. 29, 1958 – Philadelphia, Pa. All-America running back Pete Dawkins took the opening kickoff and raced down the sideline. But when he cut back, he collided with teammate Bill Rowe, popping the ball loose. Navy recovered on the Army 40-yard line, and Joe Bellino later scored the first touchdown of the game on a three-yard run. Nonetheless, the Cadets had the last laugh, capping West Point’s undefeated season with a 22-6 victory over Navy.

Bob Anderson scored Army’s first touchdown just before halftime on a one-yard run and added another short score at the start of the final quarter. Trailing 14-6, Navy was driving down the field with two minutes remaining. But Don Usury picked off Joe Tranchini’s pass and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown. The Cadets finished the year 8-0-1, as Dawkins captured the Heisman Trophy. The Mids closed the year at 6-3.

NAVY 43, ARMY 12

Nov. 28, 1959 – Philadelphia, Pa. Compiling 405 yards of total offense, Navy rolled to a 43-12 victory over Army. Joe Bellino’s 113 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries led a Midshipmen ground game that finished the afternoon with 288 yards. Joe Tranchini added a pair of short rushing scores as the Mids posted 23 first downs compared to 13 for Army.

Despite the statistical difference, Navy held a slim 21-12 lead at the intermission. However, the Midshipmen added three “insurance” touchdowns in the second half. Bellino reached the end zone for the third time in the game, while Tranchini tallied his second touchdown and Roland Brandquist closed the scoring with a one-yard run of his own.

NAVY 17, ARMY 12

Nov. 26, 1960 – Philadelphia, Pa. Army was not unhappy to see Joe Bellino graduate from the Naval Academy, as the star running back clinched the 1960 Heisman Trophy with an impressive all-around performance against the Cadets in the 1960 regular-season finale. He touched the ball 25 times and accounted for 192 yards. He gained 85 yards on 20 carries, caught two passes for 16 yards, returned two kickoffs for 46 yards and intercepted one pass and returned it 45 yards. All this equalled a 17-12 Midshipmen triumph.

Despite Bellino’s exploits, Navy nearly squandered a 17-0 halftime advantage. A pair of Al Rushatz touchdown runs made it 17-12, and Army drove down to the Navy 32-yard line with 1:50 remaining. But quarterback Frank Blanda’s desperation pass was intercepted, by none other than Bellino.

NAVY 13, ARMY 7

Dec. 2, 1961 – Philadelphia, Pa. Navy may have lost its season opener when it dropped a 20-10 decision to Penn State, but it closed the year in fine fashion with a 13-7 win over Army.

Greg Mather, who caught four passes for 36 yards, punted five times for 167 yards and hit 27- and 29-yard field goals, turned in a fine allaround performance. His 27-yarder gave the Mids a 3-0 lead, which they took into the locker room at halftime.

Army took the lead early in the third quarter when it went 76 yards in six plays, capped by Al Rushatz’s one-yard touchdown run. Following an exchange of punts, Navy backup quarterback Bob Hecht took the team 51 yards for the go-ahead score, a 13-yard run by Bill Ulrich. Mather tacked on his second field goal in the fourth quarter to become the first Navy player to score in three series games.

Dec. 1, 1962 – Philadelphia, Pa. Enjoying a fine sophomore season, Navy quarterback Roger Staubach stepped into the national spotlight when he completed a series-record 10of-12 passes in Navy’s 34-14 victory over Army.

The Midshipmen rode the momentum of an early lead, as Army was held deep in its own territory on the game’s opening series and was forced to punt. The snap sailed over Army punter Dick Peterson’s head and out of the end zone for a safety, giving Navy a 2-0 lead. This advantage was extended by six points when Staubach hit Neil Henderson for a 12-yard score. Staubach tacked on a 21-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter for a 15-0 lead.

Although Army scored just before the half to make it 15-6, Navy scored touchdowns on consecutive possessions to take a commanding 28-6 lead. Staubach hooked up with fullback Nick Markoff for a 65-yard touchdown and later added a two-yard touchdown himself.

NAVY 21, ARMY 15

Dec. 7, 1963 – Philadelphia, Pa. In a contest that had been postponed one week due to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Navy held on for a 21-15 victory over the Cadets.

Halfback Pat Donnelly’s three touchdowns gave the Mids a commanding 21-7 lead four minutes into the fourth quarter. Yet, as usual, the next 11 minutes would be plenty interesting.

Army took the ensuing kickoff and drove 52 yards in nine plays (all running plays), with quarterback Rollie Stichweh taking it in from the oneyard line. Stichweh scored the two-point conversion himself, and Navy’s lead was cut to 21-15 at the 6:19 mark.

Not only did Stichweh score the touchdown and extra points, but he then recovered the onsides kick at the Navy 49-yard line. The Cadets drove to the Navy four-yard line, where on third-and-goal, Stichweh handed off to Ken Waldrop, who was tackled by a horde of Midshipmen defenders in a pile. Stuck at the bottom of the pile, Waldrop was unable to get back to the Army huddle before time ran out.

ARMY 11, NAVY 8

Nov. 28, 1964 – Philadelphia, Pa. Barry Nickerson’s 24-yard field goal helped Army snap a five-game losing streak to Navy with an 11-8 triumph.

The Cadet defense made quite a statement on the opening series, as defensive guard Charlie Stowers sacked Navy’s Roger Staubach for a safety less than a minute into the game. Army built upon its lead midway through the second quarter when quarterback Rollie Stichweh hit tight end Sam Champi with a five-yard touchdown pass.

Navy tied the game just before the half when halfback Tom Leiser went up and over from the Army one-yard line. A scrambling Staubach found end Phil Norton for the two-point conversion.

When Nickerson hit the game-winning field goal early in the fourth quarter, it marked Army’s first field goal against Navy in 33 years. On its final drive, Navy faced a fourth-and-36 from its own 47, and Staubach’s pass fell incomplete.

NAVY 7, ARMY 7

Nov. 27, 1965 – Philadelphia, Pa. With each team mustering just one first down in the second half, the 1965 Army-Navy tilt struggled to a 7-7 tie.

The game jumped out to an exciting start, as Sonny Stowers’ 25-yard touchdown run gave Army a 7-0 lead. Quarterback John Cartwright got the Mids on the board with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Terry Murray just before intermission.

The 353 yards of total offense between the two teams represented the series’ lowest total since 1939 (321). This was also the sixth tie in 66 Army-Navy games and the first since 1956 (also by the score of 7-7).

ARMY 20, NAVY 7

Nov. 26, 1966 – Philadelphia, Pa. Keyed by a pair of Steve Lindell touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, Army capped off its best season (8-2) since 1958 with a 20-7 win over Navy.

Sophomore Charlie Jarvis opened the scoring with a 49-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Lindell’s extra point gave the Cadets a 7-0 lead. Under the efficient direction of quarterback John Cartwright, Navy tied the score at seven when Cartwright and Rob Taylor hooked up on a seven-yard touchdown pass.

The Midshipmen had three opportunities to take the lead in the third quarter, but were unable to convert on any of them. The first drive stalled on the Army 47, Cartwright was intercepted inside the Army 20-yard line and John Church’s 42-yard field goal attempt was blocked. Lindell then worked his fourth-quarter magic to ensure Army’s victory.

NAVY 19, ARMY 14

Dec. 2, 1967 – Philadelphia, Pa. After operating all season from the T-formation, Navy switched to the I-formation for the annual Army contest. It helped the Midshipmen jump out to a 17-point lead and hold on for a 19-14 victory.

The Army defense entered the season finale allowing a mere eight points per game, but surrendered twice that many by halftime. Touchdown runs by Dan Pike and Jeri Balsly sandwiched a 29-yard John Church field goal to give the Mids a 17-0 lead. Navy stretched the lead to 19-0 in the third quarter when Bill Dow tackled Army punter Nick Kurilko in the end zone for a safety.

In an effort to energize his struggling offense, Army coach Tom Cahill inserted quarterback Jim O’Toole into the game. O’Toole led the Cadets into the end zone on two-straight occasions, including a 52-yard scoring strike to end Gary Steele.

Army was driving to take the lead when Charlie Jarvis fumbled on the Navy 23-yard line with four minutes remaining. The Mids then ran out the clock to preserve the five-point triumph.

ARMY 21, NAVY 14

Nov. 30, 1968 – Philadelphia, Pa. Leading by a touchdown midway through the third quarter, Army faced a third-and-eight at its own 35-yard line. Army quarterback Steve Lindell dropped back to pass, only to be hit by defensive end Mike Lettieri.

Defensive tackle Tom LaForce caught the fluttering football and raced 36 yards for the tying touchdown. However, backup quarterback Jim O’Toole came on to engineer the game-winning drive late in the third quarter, as running back Charlie Jarvis scored his third touchdown of the day.

Early in the fourth quarter, it appeared as if the Midshipmen were poised to take the lead again, driving 63 yards to set up a fourth-and-five at the Cadet 12-yard line. Mike McNallen completed the pass to Mike Clark, but he was stopped two yards short of the first down and Army held on for a 21-14 victory.

ARMY 27, NAVY 0

Nov. 29, 1969 – Philadelphia, Pa. The new power-I offense installed by Army coach Tom Cahill overwhelmed the Navy defense in the 1969 matchup. Tailback Lynn Moore carried the football 40 times for 206 yards as the Cadets rolled over the Midshipmen, 27-0.

While the Army offense was certainly productive, the efforts of the Cadet defense did not go unnoticed. Navy appeared to be on its way to a touchdown just before halftime, but John Bremner picked off quarterback Mike McNallen’s pass at the Army 23-yard line. Finally, Navy was inside the Army one-yard line late in the fourth quarter, but a dramatic goal-line stand preserved Army’s first series shutout in 20 years.

Nov. 28, 1970 – Philadelphia, Pa. Entering the 1970 season finale, Navy had given up 32 points per game. Yet, it was the Midshipmen defense that came up big in an 11-7 win over Army.

Navy defensive back Mark Schickner, who did not even play football the previous fall, intercepted a series-record four passes to preserve the Mids’ second win of the year. His last interception was particularly valuable because it came on the Navy 12-yard line with less than a minute to play.

The game remained scoreless until the third quarter when Dick Atha and Joe Albano connected on a 42-yard touchdown pass. Navy’s Joe Elfein quickly erased that advantage with a 40-yard touchdown run which, combined with a two-point conversion pass from Mike McNallen to Karl Schwelm, gave Navy an 8-7 lead. Roger Lanning then iced the win with a 33-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.

ARMY 24, NAVY 23

Nov. 27, 1971 – Philadelphia, Pa. In typical Army-Navy fashion, the 1971 contest went right down to the wire. This time, however, it was the Cadets who came out on top, 24-23.

This marked the first one-point game in series history.

Army had jumped out to a 16-0 first-quarter lead, thanks to two Bob Hines touchdowns and a 42-yard field goal by James Barclay (only Army’s second series field goal in the last 40 years). By the third quarter, however, the Mids had reached the end zone three times themselves, as a 12-yard Freddie Stuvek-to-Steve Ogden pass gave the Midshipmen a 21-16 lead.

Army quarterback Kingsley Fink opened the fourth quarter with a fiveyard touchdown pass to Ed Francis to help the Cadets regain the lead, 24-21. On the ensuing drive, Navy began a seven-minute drive that was brought to a halt when Stuvek’s fourth-down pass was intercepted at the Army four-yard line.

The Midshipmen regained possession at the Army 39 with less than two minutes to go. Stuvek drove his offense to the seven-yard line and appeared to pick up six more yards on an option pitch to George Perry, but officials ruled that Stuvek’s knee was down before he gave up the football. Navy turned the ball back over on downs, and Army punter Ron Dahnof ran off the final eight seconds in the end zone, giving Navy a safety, but Army the win.

Dec. 2, 1972 – Philadelphia, Pa. Army and Navy may be well known for their respective efficient, ballcontrol offenses, but it was a defensive play that keyed Army’s 23-15 win in 1972.

Army sheared Navy’s lead to 12-7 early in the third quarter, thanks to a 43-yard touchdown dash by Bob Hines. Navy drove right back down the field on the ensuing possession, only to stall on the Army 12-yard line. Roger Lanning came on to try a 29-yard field goal, only to have it blocked by the Cadets’ Tim Pfister. Scot Beaty retrieved the loose ball and raced 84 yards with the go-ahead touchdown. A Bruce Simpson 21yard touchdown run extended the lead to 20-12, and Jim Barclay’s 23yard field goal iced the win.

Despite the loss, running back Cleveland Cooper etched his name into the Navy record book. His 135 yards on 26 attempts gave him 1,006 yards for the year, the first Midshipmen player to reach this plateau.

NAVY 51, ARMY 0

Dec. 1, 1973 – Philadelphia, Pa. A 31-point second quarter fueled the most lopsided victory in series history, as Navy routed Army, 51-0. This bettered the 38-0 win the Cadets posted over the Midshipmen in 1949.

In addition, for the first time in series history, a team had two players rush for 100 yards in the same game. Ed Gilmore’s 123 yards on 15 carries paced an offense that piled up 460 total yards, while Cleveland Cooper added 102 yards. Of course, it didn’t hurt matters that Army turned the ball over five times.

NAVY 19, ARMY 0

Nov. 30, 1974 – Philadelphia, Pa. With President Gerald Ford among the 83,000 fans in attendance, Navy posted its second-straight shutout over Army, 19-0.

The Midshipmen once again jumped out to a quick start, as the defense held the Cadets deep in their own territory. Dave Hoopengardner’s punt fell at the Army 34-yard line, and Navy quickly went to work. Under the direction of freshman quarterback Mike Roban, the first plebe to start at quarterback for the Mids against Army, Navy managed a 45-yard field goal from Steve Dykes. Bob Jackson added two short touchdown runs, and Navy led 17-0 at halftime.

It was time for the Mids’ defense to shine in the second half, as it stopped Army on a fourth-and-four from the Navy nine-yard line on the first drive of the third quarter. Defensive end Tim Harden recorded a safety midway through the third period when he sacked Army quarterback Scott Gillogly in the end zone.

Offensively, Cleveland Cooper became the first player in series history to rush for at least 100 yards in three games. He finished his career with 362 yards on 69 carries versus the Cadets.

NAVY 30, ARMY 6

Nov. 29, 1975 – Philadelphia, Pa. Navy nearly pitched its third-straight shutout over Army, but Cadet quarterback Leamon Hall scored a two-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to make the final score Navy 30, Army 6.

Navy kicker Larry Muczynski opened the scoring with a 27-yard field goal in the first quarter. Bob Jackson then scored a two-yard touchdown, and Jeff Hoobler blocked an Army punt that Bob DeStafney returned 42 yards for another score. Muczynski not only converted both extra points, but also added a 31-yard field goal just before halftime to give Navy a 20-0 lead heading into the locker room.

Jackson (133 yards) and Gerald Goodwin (117 yards) accounted for 250 of Navy’s 305 yards on the ground, as the Midshipmen compiled 325 yards of total offense compared to Army’s 206.

NAVY 38, ARMY 10

Nov. 27, 1976 – Philadelphia, Pa. Quarterback Bob Leszczynski and running backs Joe Gattuso Jr. and Larry Klawinski accounted for 389 of Navy’s 428 yards of total offense, which explains the Midshipmen’s 38-10 win.

Ironically, Navy’s punter Art Ohanian played a key role in his team’s first two touchdowns. He placed his first kick inside Army’s two-yard line, which enabled the Midshipmen to get the ball back near midfield after an impressive outing by the Navy defense. Gattuso capped a six-play, 50yard drive with a two-yard scoring plunge.

Late in the first quarter, Ohanian nailed a 51-yard punt inside the Army seven-yard line. Leszczynski and wide receiver Phil McConkey closed out the drive with an 11-yard touchdown to give the Midshipmen an advantage they’d never relinquish.

ARMY 17, NAVY 14

Nov. 26, 1977 – Philadelphia, Pa. The two service academies added another epic tale to their series when Army knocked off Navy, 17-14. This was the Cadets’ first win in the series since 1972.

In typical Army fashion, coach Homer Smith’s club used a ball-control offense to roll up a 17-7 lead at halftime. Nonetheless, Navy battled back with some key offensive plays. It was fourth-and-two on the Army 22yard line with five minutes left in the third quarter, when John Kurowski rumbled down to the four-yard line. Joe Gattuso Jr. slammed into the end zone on the next play, and Bob Tata’s point after made it 17-14.

The two teams exchanged punts for most of the fourth quarter, as Navy drove down to the Army nine-yard line with a little over a minute left. It was fourth-and-two as Navy coach George Welsh dug into his bag of tricks, hoping to catch the Cadets off-guard with a halfback pass. However, Gattuso’s throw sailed over the head of wide receiver Phil McConkey, sealing the victory for the Cadets.

Dec. 2, 1978 – Philadelphia, Pa. Despite a Nov. 18 loss to Florida State, Navy received word that a win over Army would be enough to earn an invitation to the Dec. 22 Holiday Bowl against Brigham Young. The Midshipmen were more than happy to oblige the bowl officials, blanking the Cadets, 28-0, before upending BYU, 23-16, in San Diego. With the victory, Navy finished 9-3 and ranked 17th in the final United Press International poll.

Quarterback Bob Leszczynski and running backs Mike Sherlock and Steve Callahan proved to be more than the Army defense could handle.

Leszczynski and Callahan scored the game’s first two touchdowns before the duo collectively put the game out of reach with the Midshipmen’s third score of the day. Kicker Bob Tata was set to attempt an 18-yard field goal, only to have the snap sail over holder Leszczynski’s head. The Navy quarterback quickly retrieved the ball back at the Cadet 40-yard line, scrambled forward 22 yards and fired to a wide open Callahan in the end zone for six more points.

NAVY 31, ARMY 7

Dec. 1, 1979 – Philadelphia, Pa. The Army defense had no answer for Navy’s Eddie Meyers, as the Midshipmen running back gained 279 yards and scored three touchdowns in Navy’s 31-7 triumph. The performance capped quite an autumn for the 5-9, 205-pound sophomore who started the season fourth on the Navy depth chart at running back.

After starting the season 6-0, the Mids entered the annual battle with the Cadets on a four-game losing streak. Coach George Welsh’s club was unable to capitalize on its first possession, but kicker Steve Fehr finished the next possession with a 33-yard field goal to give Navy a 3-0 lead. Navy matched an Army touchdown with two of its own to take a 17-7 lead to the locker room at the half. Meyers added his final-two touchdowns midway through the second half to put the contest safely out of reach.

NAVY 33, ARMY 6

NAVY 24, ARMY 7

Dec. 4, 1982 – Philadelphia, Pa. Navy turned two first-half Army turnovers into 10 points to fuel a 24-7 win. The game was played under the most ideal weather conditions in series history — clear skies and 70 degrees.

Despite the sunny skies, Army’s afternoon suddenly turned cloudy when the Midshipmen’s Rick Pagel recovered Dee Bryant’s fumbled punt at the Cadet eight-yard line early in the first quarter. Napoleon McCallum punched the ball in from two yards out, and Todd Solomon’s conversion gave Navy a quick 7-0 lead. The Mids stretched this advantage to 10-0 when Solomon followed Brian Cianella’s interception with a 25-yard field goal shortly thereafter.

Army cut the lead to 10-7 in the second quarter when Mike Staver recovered Rich Clouse’s fumble at the Navy 15-yard line. Laughlin took it in from three yards out to cut the lead to 10-7.

In the third quarter, a pair of McCallum punt returns set up a one-yard James Scannell touchdown run and a 17-yard touchdown pass from Ricky Williamson to split end Bill Cebak.

NAVY 42, ARMY 13

Nov. 25, 1983 – Pasadena, Calif.

With three touchdowns in the first four minutes of the game, Navy rolled to a 42-13 victory over Army at the Rose Bowl. Other than a trip to Chicago in 1926, the Cadets and Midshipmen had never met farther west than Baltimore. However, Rolfe Arnhym, West Point Class of ’53 and then Executive Vice President of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, helped arrange for the 1983 contest to be played in California.

Navy used a trick play to catch Army off-guard on the opening kickoff, and the Cadets never regained their balance. Craig Stopa’s opening kick went to Navy star Napoleon McCallum, who handed off to return mate Eric Wallace. Wallace then went 95 yards for the game’s first touchdown.

McCallum added a 14-yard touchdown scamper, and linebacker Steve Brady’s 65-yard interception return made it 21-0 just 3:50 into the game.

McCallum’s 182 yards on 30 carries accounted for a lion’s share of the Mids’ 296 yards on the ground.

Nov. 29, 1980 – Philadelphia, Pa. In rather dominant fashion, Navy regained the series lead for the first time in 58 years, routing Army, 33-6. This was also the first time the ArmyNavy game was played at Veterans Stadium.

The Midshipmen utilized a balanced attack, as Eddie Meyers’ 144 yards on the ground complemented quarterback Fred Reitzel’s 138 yards passing. Kicker Steve Fehr was also crucial in Navy’s effort, booting four field goals, including a series-record 50 yarder.

Once again, turnovers were critical, as the Midshipmen’s Travis Wallington recovered Warren Waldorff’s fumble at the Navy 15-yard line.

Reitzel ran it in from nine yards out, and Fehr’s extra point made it 10-0.

Navy’s defense turned in a stellar effort, limiting Army to 144 yards of total offense. Gerald Walker had one of the Cadets’ few offensive highlights with a 26-yard touchdown run.

NAVY 3, ARMY 3

Nov. 28, 1981 – Philadelphia, Pa. If one game ever defined a rivalry, then the 1981 Army-Navy contest speaks volumes about the competition between the Midshipmen and the Cadets. Already bound for a Liberty Bowl appearance against Ohio State, Navy entered the afternoon with a 7-3 record. Army, on the other hand, had struggled to a 3-7 ledger. Despite the fact George Welsh’s club entered the game as a 19-point favorite, the Mids escaped Philadelphia with a 3-3 tie against West Point.

The Cadets’ offense may have struggled all afternoon, but punter Joe Sartiano was there to kick it out of a hole. He averaged 57.6 yards on his five punts, with a long kick of 79 yards.

Veteran kicker Steve Fehr put Navy on the scoreboard first with a 42-yard field goal at the end of the second quarter. Army’s Dave Aucoin responded with a field goal in the third quarter, but he missed on a 55yard attempt as time expired that would have given the Cadets the win.

Napoleon McCallum rushed for 182 yards in Navy’s 42-13 win over the Black Knights at the Rose Bowl in 1983.

ARMY 28, NAVY 11

Dec. 1, 1984 – Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 1, 1984, is a day to remember in Army football history. With a 2811 victory over Navy, the Cadets advanced to their first-ever postseason bowl, the Cherry Bowl. The wishbone offense installed by head coach Jim Young worked to perfection, as fullback Doug Black and quarterback Nate Sassaman rushed for 155 and 154 yards, respectively. Ironically, both players went over the 1,000-yard single-season rushing mark during the game.

Although the halftime score was 14-3, it could have just as easily been 14-14. With five minutes left in the first half, Navy had a second-and-six on the Cadet 10-yard line, but quarterback Bob Misch was sacked on successive plays, forcing kicker Todd Solomon to salvage the drive with

However, Army’s Kermit McKelvy stripped the ball from Stevens at the five, and safety Doug Pavek fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchback.

NAVY 17, ARMY 7

Dec. 7, 1985 – Philadelphia, Pa. In his final collegiate football game, Napoleon McCallum rushed for 217 yards on 41 carries to lead Navy past Army, 17-7. The Navy senior posted more yards than the entire Army team, who was limited to 192 yards by a stingy Midshipmen defense.

Navy took a 7-0 lead when Bob Misch’s 13-yard touchdown pass to Troy Saunders finished a 14-play, 73-yard drive. Army’s Clarence Jones responded by taking the ensuing kickoff 61 yards to the Navy 36, and then taking the ball into the end zone eight plays later from 10 yards out.

Craig Stopa added his 61st-consecutive extra point, which made him the first player to score in four Army-Navy games.

Navy’s Chuck Smith put the Mids ahead to stay with a five-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, as the Cadets failed to capitalize on two golden offensive opportunities. They were stopped on downs at the Navy two-yard line in the second quarter, and Stopa’s 37-yard field goal attempt in the third quarter sailed wide right.

ARMY 27, NAVY 7

Dec. 6, 1986 – Philadelphia, Pa. Army scored on five of its first-eight possessions en route to a 27-7 victory over the Midshipmen. This marked the Cadets’ third-most convincing win over Navy, surpassed only by a 38-0 win in 1949 and a 27-0 triumph in 1969. The game certainly lived up to its billing as one of America’s purest rivalries, as neither team committed a single penalty.

Sophomore Keith Walker put Army on the scoreboard first with a pair of 24-yard field goals. The Cadets gradually cushioned this lead in the second half, thanks in part to a few bounces that went their way. On first-and-10 from the Navy 30, Cadet quarterback Tory Crawford kept the ball and raced around the end, where he was hit hard at the 20-yard line.

The ball popped loose and rolled all the way down to the three-yard line, where an alert Benny Wright fell on it. Andy Peterson carried the ball into the end zone two plays later, and Army took a 13-0 lead.

Navy took the ensuing kickoff and went 80 yards in 14 plays, with Don Holl plowing through for a three-yard touchdown. Ted Fundoukos added the extra point to make it 13-7. Yet, Army tacked on two more scores to provide the final margin.

ARMY 17, NAVY 3

Dec. 5, 1987 – Philadelphia, Pa. Mustering just 191 yards of total offense, Navy suffered a 17-3 loss to Army. This marked the first time the Cadets had posted back-to-back victories in the series since 1971-72.

Although Army’s Mike Mayweather wore down the Midshipmen defense with 119 yards rushing, the only points of the first half came when Cadet kicker Harold “Bit” Rambusch booted a 40-yard field goal in the first quarter. Army stretched its lead to 10-0 with 11:02 left in the game when Andy Peterson scored on a one-yard run.

Behind the leadership of quarterback Alton Grizzard, Navy battled back. Ted Fundoukos kicked a 30-yard field goal to cut the lead to 10-3, only to have Army clinch the win on a seven-yard run by quarterback Tory Crawford.

ARMY 20, NAVY 15

Dec. 3, 1988 – Philadelphia, Pa. Army captured the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy with a hard-fought 20-15 victory over Navy.

According to Bill Cromartie’s “Army-Navy Football: The Greatest Rivalry In Sports,” Army coach Jim Young was 25-0 when his team passed the ball no more than three times in a game. This strategy certainly worked against the Midshipmen, as West Point quarterback Bryan McWilliams was the game’s top rusher with 100 yards on 21 attempts. When he did drop back to pass, however, McWilliams made the most of the

opportunity. With a third-and-six on its own 46-yard line and a 13-9 lead midway through the fourth quarter, McWilliams hit Doug Baker for a 17yard gain to the Midshipmen 37. He later scored from eight yards out to give his team an 11-point cushion at 20-9.

Alton Grizzard led Navy on the ensuing drive, completing five-of-nine passes to enable James Bradley to reach the end zone from two yards out. The two-point conversion failed, and Army recovered the onsides kick to preserve the win and knot the all-time series record at 41-41-7.

NAVY 19, ARMY 17

Dec. 9, 1989 – East Rutherford, N.J. In the first Army-Navy game played in East Rutherford, N.J., Frank Schenk hit a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left to give the Midshipmen a come-from-behind 19-17 win over the Cadets.

Navy got on the scoreboard first when Alton Grizzard hit B.J. Mason with a 54-yard touchdown pass. However, a bad snap on the extra point left Navy with a 6-0 lead. Schenk added three points to that advantage with a 38-yard field goal midway through the first quarter.

Army’s efficient wishbone offense consumed most of the second quarter, as Cal Cass notched a pair of one-yard touchdown runs to give the Cadets a 14-9 lead at halftime.

Rodney Purifoy’s three-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter, followed by Schenk’s extra point, put Navy back ahead, 16-14.

Yet, Army regained the lead with two minutes to go in the third quarter when Keith Havenstrite nailed a 21-yard field goal.

With 5:02 remaining in the game, Navy took over possession on its own 22-yard line.

Grizzard and fullback Mike Burns led the Mids down the field, setting the stage for Schenk’s game-winning kick.

ARMY 30, NAVY 20

Dec. 8, 1990 – Philadelphia, Pa. Navy was unable to stop the vaunted Army rushing attack, as the Cadets used 367 yards on the ground to post a 30-20 win over the Midshipmen. Behind the efficient performances of quarterback Willie MacMillan and tailback Mike Mayweather, Army turned in a 17-0 secondquarter lead. Navy got on the scoreboard before halftime on a six-yard touchdown pass from Alton Grizzard to Jerry Dawson, and a Brad Stramanak 45-yard touchdown run in the third quarter made it 17-14.

This was as close as the Mids could get, however, as Army kicker Patmon Malcom padded the Cadet advantage with 38- and 25-yard field goals. Army clinched the win by intercepting a Grizzard pass with 6:10 remaining.

NAVY 24, ARMY 3

Dec. 7, 1991– Philadelphia, Pa. On the 50th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Navy posted its only win of the season with a resounding 24-3 triumph over Army.

Following Patmon Malcolm’s 39-yard field goal, quarterback Jim Kubiak took over, completing 13-of-16 passes for 157 yards. Kubiak and Jason Van Matre were instrumental in coach George Chaump’s offensive scheme. Van Matre would direct the Midshipmen attack up to the opponent’s 25-yard line. Van Matre would then shift to tailback to make room for freshman Kubiak as the signal caller. Van Matre and Billy James each added a touchdown on the ground. Defensively, linebacker Byron Ogden led the Mids with 15 tackles.

ARMY 25, NAVY 24

Dec. 5, 1992 – Philadelphia, Pa. Patmon Malcolm’s 49-yard field goal with 12 seconds left fulfilled the greatest comeback in Army-Navy history, as Army overcame a 17-point deficit to defeat the Midshipmen, 25-24.

Entering the game 1-9, Navy jumped out to a 24-7 lead. However, Army came right back with three-straight scores, including a 68-yard touchdown pass from Rick Roper to Gaylord Greene.

The Midshipmen led 24-22 with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter when the two teams exchanged punts. The Army defense held the Mids without a first down, forcing Navy to kick into a considerable wind. Army

ARMY 16, NAVY 14

Dec. 4, 1993 – East Rutherford, N.J. Navy’s furious fourth-quarter rally fell just short, as Army escaped with a 16-14 win. Down 16-0 at the start of the fourth quarter, Navy found the Cadet end zone twice within a two-minute span, as quarterback Jim Kubiak scored on a three-yard keeper and found tight end Jim Mill for an eight-yard score.

The Midshipmen were poised to take the lead with four minutes remaining and the ball on their own 20-yard line. Tailback Billy James gained 60 yards on six carries on the drive, which reached the Army three-yard line. Fullback Brad Stramanak picked up a yard on first down, and Kubiak spiked the ball on second down. Stramanak struggled to pick up a yard on third down, and freshman kicker Ryan Bucchianeri’s 18-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right.

ARMY 22, NAVY 20

Dec. 3, 1994 – Philadelphia, Pa. Once again, Army and Navy showed a penchant for dramatic finishes, as Kurt Heiss’ career-best 52-yard field goal with 6:19 left gave the Cadets a 22-20 victory.

As usual, the game was exciting from the opening kickoff to the final gun, as the 65,308 fans in attendance saw six lead changes and six plays of more than 40 yards. With its vaunted wishbone attack, Army rolled up 373 yards on the ground against Navy, while Midshipmen quarterback Jim Kubiak riddled the Cadet secondary for 361 yards and two touchdowns.

Kubiak’s first touchdown pass, a 27 yarder to Damon Dixon, gave Navy a 7-3 lead at the end of the first quarter. After Army regained the lead with a Don Ross one-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter, the Midshipmen came right back on their next possession. On the first play from scrimmage, tailback Michael Jefferson raced 73 yards for a touchdown. Ryan Bucchianeri’s extra point gave Navy a 14-10 advantage, which it held through halftime.

Heiss’ 35-yard field goal brought the Cadets to within one at 14-13 to start the second half. Army then took the lead on its next possession, as Kevin Vaughn’s three-yard touchdown run made it 19-14.

Navy came right back to take a 20-19 lead late in the third quarter, as Kubiak hit tight end Kevin Hickman for a 56-yard touchdown pass.

However, the two-point conversion attempt failed, setting the stage for Heiss’ game-winning field goal.

ARMY 14, NAVY 13

Dec. 2, 1995 – Philadelphia, Pa. John Conroy’s one-yard touchdown run with 1:03 left capped a 99-yard drive and gave Army an exciting 14-13 win over Navy. The victory was the Cadets’ fourth straight in the series, as those four games were decided by a total of six points.

Navy capitalized on an Army turnover on the third play of the game, as Ben Fay found LeBron Butts for a 22-yard touchdown to give the Mids a 7-0 lead. Conroy then tied the game at seven when he scored the first of his two one-yard touchdown runs.

With the score still tied at halftime, Navy took the second-half kickoff and promptly marched 52 yards in 16 plays. Freshman kicker Tom Vanderhorst, playing in his first collegiate football game, connected on a 39-yard field goal to give Navy a 10-7 lead. The Newnan, Ga., native helped extend that advantage to 13-7 with a 22-yard field goal at the start of the fourth quarter.

With a fourth-and-goal at the Army one-yard line with 8:26 left, the Midshipmen were poised to score again. However, the pass attempt by Chris McCoy fell incomplete in the end zone, and Army took over on downs en route to the game-winning drive.

ARMY 28, NAVY 24

Dec. 7, 1996 – Philadelphia, Pa. Army stopped Navy eight times inside the 10-yard line during the final four minutes of the game to preserve a 28-24 win over the Midshipmen.

With the victory, the Cadets clinched their first Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy since 1988 and accepted a bid to the Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl. Despite the loss, Navy accepted a bid to the Jeep Eagle Aloha Bowl, where it defeated California, 42-38.

Thanks to touchdown runs from quarterback Chris McCoy and fullback Patrick McGrew and a 15-yard McCoy-to-LeBron Butts touchdown pass, the Mids jumped out to a 21-3 second-quarter lead. The Cadets then used a 44-yard touchdown run from Ronnie McAda and a 22-yard J. Parker field goal to head into the locker room down 21-13 at the half.

On the second play of the third quarter, Bobby Williams took the pitch from McAda and went 81 yards for a touchdown. However, the two-point conversion failed and Navy maintained a 21-19 lead. After the Mids missed a 42-yard field goal, Army drove right back down the field and took a 25-21 lead when Demetrius Perry scored from three yards out.

Navy’s Tom Vanderhorst brought his team within one, 25-24, when he hit a 31-yard field goal to close the third quarter. Although Parker’s 20yard field goal with 6:35 left in the game provided the game’s final margin, Navy drove down inside the Cadet 10-yard line on each of its last-two possessions but was unable to score.

NAVY 39, ARMY 7

Dec. 6, 1997 – East Rutherford, N.J. With the Navy defense holding Army to just 84 yards of total offense, the Midshipmen rolled to a 39-7 victory over the Cadets in East Rutherford, N.J. The 32-point win was not only Navy’s largest margin of triumph over Army since 1973, but it was also the fifth-largest for either team in series history.

Although Army drove 74 yards in two plays for a game-opening touchdown, quarterback Johnny Goff and Co. managed to gain just 13 yards the rest of the afternoon. Meanwhile, Navy quarterback Chris McCoy directed the Mids to a record-setting day on the ground, gaining 205 yards on 31 carries. Fullback Tim Cannada added a career-high 133 yards on 30 carries, as Navy rolled up 383 yards rushing overall.

Midshipmen wide receiver LeBron Butts also set a new series standard with his third career touchdown. Defensively, linebacker Travis Cooley had seven tackles, while defensive tackle David Viger and linebacker Jason Coffey added five stops apiece.

ARMY 34, NAVY 30

Dec. 5, 1998 – Philadelphia, Pa. In the highest-scoring game in Army-Navy history, the Cadets overcame an 11-point third-quarter deficit to upend the Midshipmen, 34-30. The 64 points scored by the two teams surpassed the previous record of 55, set in 1959 and ’83. Army has now won the last-five contests at Veterans Stadium by a total of 12 points.

Navy jumped out to a 10-0 first-quarter lead when Tim Shubzda kicked a 35-yard field goal and fullback Irv Dingle added a 17-yard scoring run.

However, backup quarterback Joe Gerena directed the Cadets’ comeback with touchdown runs of 25 and 69 yards, respectively, handing Army a 1310 advantage at the end of the first quarter.

Navy used its aerial attack to regain the lead, as quarterback Brian Broadwater found wide receiver Ryan Read for 49- and 69-yard scoring strikes to give the Midshipmen a 24-19 halftime lead. The 69-yard touchdown pass marked a new series record.

The two teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter, but a Navy turnover set the stage for an exciting final stanza. The Midshipmen had the ball firstand-goal on the Army four-yard line, but Navy’s Matt Harden fumbled the ball into the end zone, where the Cadets’ Jason Walker recovered it. Three plays later, fullback Ty Amey ran 70 yards for the game-winning touchdown.

Kicker Eric Olsen added a 26-yard field goal late in the game to provide the final margin.

Despite the impressive offensive performance by both teams, the game was marred by what took place after Amey’s score. A railing collapsed in the Army student section, sending nine Cadets (four West Point students and five military academy prep school students) tumbling 12 feet to the ground.

NAVY 19, ARMY 9

Dec. 4, 1999 – Philadelphia, Pa. Sophomore quarterback Brian Madden rushed for a career-high 177 yards and one touchdown, while senior kicker Tim Shubzda tied an ArmyNavy game record with four field goals to lead Navy over Army, 19-9, in front of a Veterans Stadium record crowd of 70,049. The game was the 100th in the storied rivalry.

Madden, who was named the Most Valuable Player of the game by the Philadelphia Sportswriters Association, put Navy on the board first with his two-yard touchdown run. It was Navy’s only touchdown of the day.

Shubzda drilled field goals of 35, 34, 37 and 38 yards, in helping put the Cadets away as the Mids built a 19-3 lead. The Navy defense was sensational all day, holding West Point to just 210 yards of total offense.

Gino Marchetti led the way with two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble. John Chavous recorded a team-high tying 10 tackles and also intercepted his first career pass, while Daryl Hill also recorded 10 tackles, including two tackles for a loss and a sack. David Ryno, Brad Wimsatt and Chris Lepore had seven tackles apiece.

The Mids also got a huge lift from senior punter Tray Calisch, who averaged 50.3 yards per punt over six punts, a Navy record for the ArmyNavy game.

NAVY 30, ARMY 28

Dec. 2, 2000 – Baltimore, Md. The 101st meeting in the storied rivalry between Army and Navy ended with the Midshipmen surviving with a 30-28 victory.

The Black Knights scored the first points of the game less than three minutes into the contest on a 65-yard run by Michael Wallace. Navy responded to the challenge by scoring the next 27 points and held a 27-7 lead late in the third quarter.

David Hills started the Navy scoring with a 23-yard field goal, followed by a Brian Broadwater 45-yard run towards the end of the first period.

Broadwater turned to the air for the next Navy score, connecting on a 32yard touchdown strike to Brian Williams. Hills closed the first-half scoring with a 32-yard field goal. Navy’s defense accounted for the Mids’ third quarter score as Brad Wimsatt recovered an Army fumble and rumbled three yards into the end zone.

Army began its comeback by blocking a Williams punt and returning it six yards for a third-quarter touchdown and closed to 27-21 on a 23-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Curtis Zervic to Brian Brueton.

Navy managed a little bit of breathing room as Hills drilled a 27-yard field goal with 5:32 left in the game. Army, though, took just 2:48 off the clock in completing a 10-play, 56-yard drive to make the score 30-28 on a 21-yard touchdown pass by Zervic.

The Black Knights attempted, and recovered, the onsides kick attempt, but the officials ruled the ball did not go the necessary 10 yards before it was touched by an Army player, thereby turning the ball over to Navy.

Hills missed a 43-yard field goal attempt, but Army ran into Hills, giving

Dec. 1, 2001 – Philadelphia, Pa. Army jumped out to a 13-0 lead on its first-two possessions and never looked back, defeating Navy, 26-17, in front of a Veterans Stadium crowd of 69,708. With the loss, Navy finished 0-10, its worst record in school history. The only other Navy teams to go winless were the 1948 squad (0-8-1), the 1883 team (0-1) and the 1879 team (0-0-1).

Army set the tone early, stuffing Navy on its first possession and then scoring five plays later on Ardell Daniels’ 60-yard touchdown run. Army made it 13-0 on its next possession as Clyde Clark let a sure interception, and possible touchdown, go right through his hands into the arms of Army tight end Brian Bruenton who turned and rumbled 42 yards for a touchdown.

The Navy defense settled down after Army’s second touchdown, allowing just 197 yards in Army’s final-15 possessions after allowing 138 yards on its first-two possessions.

Navy, though, was unable to get back into the game as the offense could never get untracked and the special teams made two critical errors that ended any hope of a comeback.

NAVY 58, ARMY 12

Dec. 7, 2002 - East Rutherford, N.J. Quarterback Craig Candeto rushed for 103 yards and a school-record six touchdowns to lead Navy to a 58-12 rout over Army in the 103rd playing of the Army-Navy game. Candeto also threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Tony Lane, accounting for seven of Navy’s eight touchdowns.

The 58 points scored by Navy are the most in series history and the 46-point margin of victory is the second largest in series history (Navy won 51-0 in 1973).

Navy played a near perfect game, scoring on its first-eight possessions.

The Mids did not have a turnover or a penalty and didn’t punt until nine minutes left in the game.

The Mids rushed for 421 yards and piled up an Army-Navy game record 508 yards of total offense.

The defense played equally well, allowing a season-low 241 yards of total offense, including just 56 yards on the ground.

Fourteen different Navy players carried the ball. In addition to Candeto, the Mids got big performances from sophomore fullback Michael Brimage, who had 10 carries for 84 yards; Lane, who carried the ball five times for 65 yards and senior fullback Bryce McDonald, who rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.

Candeto completed four of his five pass attempts for 87 yards and one touchdown as four different receivers caught passes.

NAVY 34, ARMY 6

Dec. 6, 2003 - Philadelphia, Pa. Kyle Eckel rushed for 152 yards and two touchdowns as Navy rolled to an easy 34-6 victory over Army in front of a Lincoln Financial Field record crowd of 70,844.

The victory was the fourth for Navy over Army in the last five meetings and gave the Mids the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, which is presented annually to the winner of the football competition among the three major service academies — Army, Navy and Air Force—and is named in honor of the President of the United States.

Eric Roberts added two touchdowns rushing, while quarterback Craig Candeto rushed for 58 yards and threw for 55. The 58 yards rushing put Candeto over 1,000 yards making him just the 23rd quarterback in NCAA history and second in Navy history to rush for 1,000 yards and throw for 1,000 yards in a single-season.

The Navy offense punished the Black Knights for 359 of their 414 yards of total offense on the ground.

The Navy defense was just as good, if not better, than the offense as the Mids held the Black Knights to 198 yards of total offense.

Bobby McClarin led the way with eight tackles, a pass breakup and the first interception of his career. McClarin’s interception came in the third quarer on the Navy six-yard line with the Mids nursing a 20-6 lead.

Dec. 4, 2004 - Philadelphia, Pa. Senior fullback Kyle Eckel rushed for a career-high 179 yards and one touchdown, senior quarterback Aaron Polanco threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another and senior safety Josh Smith came up with a team-high 12 tackles and intercepted a pass returning it 67 yards for a touchdown as Navy dominated Army for the third-consecutive year, 4213, in front of a sellout crowd of 67,882 that included President George W. Bush at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

The victory gave Navy the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, which is presented annually to the winner of the football competition among the three major service academies and is named in honor of the President of the United States, for the second-consecutive year. It is just the second time in school history that Navy has won the trophy two-straight years (1978-79).

After a scoreless first quarter, Navy exploded for 28-consecutive points. Polanco got things going with a 10-yard touchdown run with 14:23 remaining in the second quarter and then Eckel, who was named the Philadelphia Sportswriters Most Valuable Player for the second-consecutive year, followed with a 23-yard romp on Navy’s next possession.

Smith would put the game away on Army’s next possession when he intercepted a Zac Dahman pass and returned it 67 yards for a touchdown.

Mick Yokitis caught a 12-yard touchdown toss from Polanco with 1:15 left in the half to make it 28-0.

NAVY 42, ARMY 23

Dec. 3, 2005 – Philadelphia, Pa.

The win gives Navy the series lead, 50-49-7, for the first time since 1991.

The Navy offense, which scored on six-straight possessions, set two Army-Navy game records as the Mids rushed for 490 yards and ran up 531 yards of total offense on a defense that came in ranked 23rd in the nation.

The game turned late in the second quarter with Navy leading 14-10.

Rob Caldwell and Keenan Little dropped Army running back Carlton Jones for no gain on a third-and-one play from the Army 40 and forced a West Point punt.

The Mids took the ball over at their own 34-yard line with 1:15 left and promptly moved down the field in eight plays with Owens capping the drive off with a one-yard dive to make the score 21-10.

Army got the ball to start the second half and Caldwell once again stopped Jones for no gain on third and one and forced an Army punt.

The Mids moved right down the field, marching 75 yards on seven plays with Ballard putting the nail in Army’s coffin with a 28-yard touchdown run.

Ballard would later answer an Army touchdown with a 67-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage to make the score 42-17.

Reggie Campbell and Marco Nelson didn’t let Owens and Ballard have all the fun, as Campbell rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown on three carries, while Nelson rushed for 77 yards on seven carries.

Jake Biles led the Navy defense with 13 tackles, while Little and Caldwell recorded 10 tackles each. David Mahoney had three tackles for a loss.

Owens was named the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Most Valuable Player for his efforts, marking the fourth-consecutive year that a Navy player has taken home the honor.

NAVY 26, ARMY 14

Dec. 2, 2006 – Philadelphia, Pa. The Navy defense scored nine fourth-quarter points on an interception and safety and set up three more points with a second interception, as Navy blew open a tight game and went on to defeat Army for the fifth-consecutive year, 26-14, in front of a sold-out crowd of 69,943 at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field.

The score was tied at seven at the half, but the Mids scored on their first possession of the second half to take the lead for good when senior Jason Tomlinson scored on a 33-yard reverse. The Navy defense took over from there, holding Army to just 59 yards on its first five possessions.

Junior nickel back Jeff Deliz picked off his first-career pass on Army’s first drive of the fourth quarter, setting up a 35-yard field goal by sophomore Matt Harmon that gave Navy a 17-7 lead.

Three plays later, senior Keenan Little picked off a Carson Williams pass and rumbled 40 yards for a touchdown to give the Mids an insurmountable 24-7 lead with 5:22 remaining.

The Navy defense, however, was not finished scoring as senior outside linebacker Tyler Tidwell recorded sacks on consecutive plays, the second one in the end zone for a safety.

Army scored a meaningless touchdown with two seconds left to cut the final margin to 12.

Sophomore fullback Eric Kettani, who entered the game on Navy’s first series after junior starter Adam Ballard went out with a broken right leg, led the Mids with 67 yards rushing on 15 carries.

Dec. 11, 2010 – Philadelphia, Pa. Senior safety Wyatt Middleton’s 98-yard fumble return for a touchdown with 1:03 remaining in the second quarter turned what was shaping up to be a close game into a rout as Navy rolled to its ninth win of the year and ninth-straight win over Army, 31-17, at a sold out (69,223) Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The 98-yard fumble return was the longest in school history and longest in an Army-Navy game. For his heroics, Middleton was named the Philadelphia Sportswriters Most Valuable Player.

Navy had jumped out to a 17-0 lead as Joe Bukley nailed a 36-yard field goal and quarterback Ricky Dobbs threw touchdown passes of 77 yards to John Howell and 32 yards to Brandon Turner. The touchdown pass to Howell was the longest pass play in series history.

The Mids were in total control of the game midway through the second quarter until a pair of Dobbs turnovers gave Army life.

Dobbs fumbled the ball on first down from his own 23 and it was recovered by Army’s Josh McNary. Six plays later, Army quarterback Trent Steelman hit Malcolm Brown with a five-yard touchdown pass to cut the Navy lead to 17-7. It was Army’s first touchdown against the Midshipmen since the fourth quarter of the 2006 game.

Three plays later, Dobbs gave the ball back to Army again as he was stripped by McNary and Stephen Anderson recovered the loose ball at the Army 48.

The Black Knights methodically moved the ball down the field, taking it 49 yards in 11 plays. On first and goal from the Navy three, Steelman tried to power his way into the end zone, but senior linebacker Tyler Simmons and senior outside linebacker Jerry Hauburger met Steelman at the twoyard line and Simmons’ knocked the ball from Steelman’s hands.

I I I 2014 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME DAY I I I ARMY-NAVY GAME RECAPS Navy took the opening kickoff of the second half and moved 48 yards in five plays to retake the lead at 21-14. After Teich’s 48-yard kickoff return put the Navy offense in business at the Army 48, backup fullback Delvin Diggs had back-to-back carries that picked up 18 yards down to the Army 30.

Junior slot back Gee Gee Greene ran for 20 more yards on first down and, after a Teich eight-yard run down to the two, Proctor scored his second TD of the day.

Once again Army would come right back, marching right through the Navy defense in six plays with Steelman hitting Brown with a 25-yard touchdown pass on third-and-seven to tie the game at 21.

After a Proctor fumble turned the ball back over to Army at the Navy 45, the Black Knights short circuited their opportunity to take the lead with an illegal block and a delay of game penalty forcing them to punt.

The Mids would take advantage of the opportunity by driving 75 yards in 18 plays with Teague capping the drive with a 23-yard field goal to give Navy a three-point lead. The Mids were forced to kick a field goal after lineman Graham Vickers jumped on third-and-goal from the Army 1.

The Mids got the ball right back on the ensuing kickoff when freshman Noah Copeland forced Army returner Scott Williams to cough up the ball and Navy freshman Jordan Drake recovered it at the Army 27.

Teague would turn the Army miscue into points with a 44-yard field goal to give Navy a 27-21 lead.

Army got the ball back and quickly moved down the field and had the ball first-and-10 at the Navy 28 when the Navy defense came up big.

After Brown rushed for four yards on first down, Army tried to catch Navy napping by throwing the ball but Steelman was dropped by junior linebacker Matt Warrick for a loss of five yards. Steelman would pick up four yards on third down as Tra’ves Bush came flying up from the safety position to make the stop and then on fourth down Steelman was sacked for a loss of one by Warrick to give the ball back to the Midshipmen with 4:31 left.

The Navy offense was able to clinch the game by burning 4:29 off the clock as the Mids picked up two first downs, including one where they drew Army offside on a fourth-and-one from the Army 48.

NAVY 17, ARMY 13

Dec. 8, 2012 – Philadelphia, Pa. Freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds extended Navy’s dominance against Army, scoring the winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter in a 17-13 victory in the 113th playing of America’s Game.

Navy captured its 11th consecutive victory over Army and in doing so

won the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy which is awarded to the team with the best record in games among the three service academies. Army and Navy each beat Air Force, putting the prestigious trophy up for grabs in the regular-season finale for the first time since 2005.

In front of 69,607 fans and Vice President Joe Biden at Lincoln Financial Field, Navy caught a break when Army missed a late field goal attempt.

Reynolds quickly found Brandon Turner down the sideline for a 49yard gain. Reynolds then escaped a rush and followed with the eight-yard touchdown run with 4:41 left in the game.

Unlike previous games over the last decade, the Black Knights were in this one until the final drive. Army had driven to the Navy 14 when fullback Larry Dixon fumbled on a sloppy exchange with quarterback Trent Steelman. Junior nose guard Barry Dabney recovered the fumble and the Mids’ sideline went wild as the CIC trophy was coming back to the Naval Academy for a record 13th time after a two-year stint at Air Force. Before Navy started its 11-game winning streak, the longest winning streak in a series that started in 1890 was only five games by either team.

Late in the third quarter, Army’s James Kelly stripped the ball from Reynolds and linebacker Alex Meier recovered to give the Black Knights the ball at Navy’s 37. Eric Osteen kicked a 21-yard field goal 10 plays later for a 13-10 lead.

Osteen, however, was wide left on a 37-yard attempt with 6:57 left in the game.

Navy made them pay on Reynolds’ score. The Midshipmen now lead the series 57-49-7.

After a scoreless first quarter, Army and Navy swapped rushing TDs in the second. Navy fullback Noah Copeland plowed straight up the middle for a 12-yard score. Trent Steelman matched him with an 11-yarder for his program-tying 17th TD run of the season, then saluted the cadets after the score.

Freshman kicker Nick Sloan put Navy up 10-7 with a 31-yard field goal late in the second, but Army answered when Osteen’s 41-yarder as the first half expired hit the upright and bounced in to tie the game at 10.

Reynolds was named the Philadelphia Sportswriters Most Valuable Player, rushing for 43 yards and a touchdown and completing 10 of his 17 passes for 130 yards. Sophomore fullback Noah Copeland rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries, while senior slot back Gee Gee Greene caught three passes for 23 yards.

Junior linebacker Cody Peterson led the Navy defense with a careerhigh 14 tackles, while senior outside linebacker Keegan Wetzel recorded

The Navy defense forced five fumbles and recovered three – the last with 1:04 remaining in the game to clinch the victory – as the Mids defeated Army, 17-13, in 2012.

NAVY 34, ARMY 7

Dec. 14, 2013 – Philadelphia, Pa. Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds ran for 136 yards and scored three touchdowns (47, 11 and 1 yard) to lead the Midshipmen to a 34-7 victory, their 12th straight in the series.

Reynolds scored on runs of 47 yards, 11 yards and 1 yard. The sophomore has 29 rushing touchdowns, breaking the single-season mark for a quarterback previously held by Ricky Dobbs (Navy, 2009) and Collin Klein (Kansas State, 2011), both of whom had 27.

Navy won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the second consecutive season and ninth time in 11 years. The trophy is awarded to the service academy with the most victories in games between Navy, Army and Air Force.

The Midshipmen haven’t lost to Army since 2001 and lead the series 58-49-7. Navy’s 12-game run is the longest in the history of the rivalry that began in 1890.

Head coach KenNiumatalolo became the second coach in Navy history to start his coaching career 6-0 against Army, matching Paul Johnson (2002-07).

Army fumbled five times and was intercepted once in its fifth straight defeat.

The snow that was forecast in the morning hours began during the pregame pageantry that makes this game a one-of-a-kind spectacle.

Army quarterback A.J. Schurr fumbled on the first two drives, the second recovered by Navy at its own 38. Following the turnover, Quinton Singleton burst through a hole in the middle and ran 58 yards to the Army 4, setting up a field goal for a 3-0 lead late in the first quarter.

Midway through the second period, Noah Copeland ran 39 yards for a touchdown to make it 10-0.

With 2:38 left in the half, Reynolds gingerly picked his way through the Army defense on his record-tying touchdown run. Navy went into halftime leading 17-0.

In the third quarter, the snow turned to rain and Army quarterback Angel Santiago did his best to make a game of it. After throwing a 29yard pass to Xavier Moss, the junior quarterback scored on a 4-yard run to get the Black Knights to 17-7.

Reynolds answered with an 11-play drive that produced a field goal.

Army then failed to convert a fourth-and-3 from its own 42, a futile gamble that all but assured the Black Knights another frustrating loss against their far more successful service academy rivals.

Reynolds scored his record-breaking touchdown with 6:22 left, and the conversion pass from wide receiver Brendan Dudeck made it 28-7.

Neither the snow nor Army’s defense could stop quarterback Keenan Reynolds from rushing for 136 yards and three scores in Navy’s 34-7 win in 2013.
