2 0 1 6 N A V Y F O O T B A L L S P R I N G P R O S P E C T U SNavy Football SpriNg practice Schedule• Navy is scheduled to use all 15 practices this spring.• The Mids will start practice on Monday, March 7 and will also practice on Tuesday,

March 8 and Thursday, March 10 before taking the week off for spring break. • The team will return to practice on Monday, March 21 and practice every Monday,

Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for the next three weeks..

aMericaN athletic coNFereNce releaSeS 2016 Football Schedule

• The 2016 Navy Football schedule will feature home games against four bowl opponents and an FCS opponent that beat Army West Point in last year’s opener according to the schedule released by the American Athletic Conference. Overall, the Mids will play seven teams that went to a bowl game in 2015. CBS Sports Network will televise all five games at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, while the Notre Dame and Army games will be televised by CBS. The Mids will have two prime time games on the ESPN Family of Networks.

• Navy will kick off the 2016 campaign against Fordham on Saturday, Sept. 3. Fordham finished 2015 with a 9-3 record, which included a 37-35 victory over the Black Knights. Fordham finished 5-1 in the Patriot League last year and received an at-large berth to the FCS playoffs.

• The Mids will open up conference play at home (Sept. 10) the following Saturday when Bob Diaco’s UConn Huskies come to town. Connecticut finished 6-7 last year, which included a 28-18 loss to Navy in the regular season and a 16-10 loss to Marshall in the St. Petersburg Bowl.

• The Mids will travel to the Big Easy the next weekend (Sept. 17) to take on Tulane. The Green Wave will have a new look in 2016 after hiring away Willie Fritz from Georgia Southern. Navy struggled against the Tulane defense last year before pulling out a 31-14 win.

• After an off week, the Mids will start a challenging stretch of seven games against six bowl opponents and a Thursday night road game against always-tough East Carolina.

• The Mids kick off the seven-game stretch with an Oct. 1 road game against Service Academy rival Air Force in the first game of the round robin series between the three Service Academies in the battle for the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy. Navy defeated Air Force, 33-11, last year in Annapolis and the Mids went on to capture the CIC trophy with a win over Army. Navy has won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy in 10 of the last 13 years and has won 24 of its last 27 Service Academy games.

• The following week, the Mids return home (Oct. 8) to host probable preseason top 10 and defending American Athletic Conference Champion Houston, which was one of only two teams that beat Navy last year (52-31) . The Cougars finished 12-1 last year, including a 38-24 rout of Florida State in the Peach Bowl to finish No. 8 in the country.

• Navy will then go on the road to play at East Carolina in a Thursday night contest (Oct. 13) that will be televised nationally by ESPN. The Pirates also have a new coach in former Duke assistant Scottie Montgomery. The Mids beat the Pirates last year, 45-21, in Navy’s first-ever conference game.

• The Mids will play host to Memphis and new head coach Mike Norvell the following week on Homecoming (Oct. 22). The Mids upset #15 Memphis last year, 45-20, in one of Navy’s signature wins of the 2015 campaign. The Tigers finished the 2015 campaign with a 9-4 mark, losing to Auburn in the Birmingham Bowl.

• The Mids will get another prime time game the following week when Navy travels to Tampa to take on USF in a Friday night contest (Oct. 28) that will be televised nationally by ESPN2. Willie Taggart’s squad finished the year winning seven of its final nine games with the only two losses coming at Navy (29-17) and to Western Kentucky in the Miami Beach Bowl (45-35).

• The Mids will return to Florida the following week for another appearance on national television, this time on CBS, as the Mids will play host to probable preseason top 10 team Notre Dame at EverBank Field in Jacksonville on Nov. 5. Kickoff for that game is 11:30 AM. The Navy-Notre Dame game is the longest continuous intersectional rivalry in the country as this will be the 90th consecutive meeting between the two schools. Notre Dame, despite a rash of injuries to key players, still finished the 2015 season with a 10-3 record and a No. 11 national ranking. The Irish lost to Ohio State, 44-28, in last year’s Fiesta Bowl.

• Tulsa comes to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 12 on Senior Day for the Midshipmen. Tulsa finished 6-7 last year, which included a 44-21 loss to Navy and a wild 55-52 loss to Virginia Tech in the Independence Bowl.

• After an off week, the Mids will travel to Dallas to take on SMU on Saturday, Nov. 26. The Mids won last year’s game in Annapolis, 55-14.

• The American Athletic Conference Championship Game will be played on Saturday, Dec. 3 at the home of the division champ with the best record. Last year, Houston defeated Temple in the championship game, 24-13.

• The annual Army-Navy Game presented by USAA will take place the week after the AAC Championship Game on Saturday, Dec. 10 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Navy has won 14 straight games against the Black Knights, including last year’s 21-17 thriller in Philadelphia. The 117th playing of the Army-Navy game will kick off at 3 PM and will be televised nationally by CBS.

• Navy returns 43 letterwinners and 10 starters off last year’s historic team that finished 11-2, was the American Athletic Conference West Division Co-Champion with Houston, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, defeated Pittsburgh in the Military Bowl, was named the winner of the Lambert Trophy (best team in the East) for the first

time since 1963 and finished 18th in the country in both polls.• Navy went 7-0 at home last year and has won 10 straight games at Navy-Marine Corps

Memorial Stadium. It is the longest home winning streak since Navy won 10 straight from 1980-82. The Mids are 19-3 at home over the last four years and have won 17 of their last 20 games overall.

goNzaleS aNd gulley NaMed 2016 teaM captaiNS• Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo announced Sunday afternoon at the annual

Navy football banquet that rising seniors slot back Toneo Gulley (Kenosha, Wis.) and linebacker Daniel Gonzales (Vail, Ariz.) have been elected team captains for the 2016 football season by their teammates.

• “Being elected team captain at the Naval Academy is one of the highest honors you can receive at an institution that prides itself on producing great leaders,” said Niumatalolo. “Toneo and Daniel are not only outstanding football players, but they are great leaders in the locker room and in Bancroft Hall and I have no doubt that they will be great captains for us.”

• Gulley has played in 35 of Navy’s 39 games over his first three years, earning three varsity letters. He has been a key player for the Mids not only on offense as a runner and blocker, but on special teams as both a kick returner and on kick coverage. Last year, he played in 12 of 13 games carrying the ball 12 times for 189 yards and three touchdowns, while catching two passes for 30 yards. He has been in on 14 tackles during his career and has returned 12 kickoffs.

• Gonzales has started 24 of Navy’s last 26 games at linebacker and has recorded 151 career tackles, including five tackles for a loss and four interceptions. He has played great in Service Academy games, contributing 38 tackles in four games. Last year, Gonzales recorded 65 tackles, four tackles for a loss, intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble for a Navy team that finished 11-2 on the year.

NAvy’S CoACHING STAffkEN NIUMATALoLohead coach19th SeaSoN at Navy • 9th SeaSon aS head CoaCh In his eight seasons at the helm of the Navy football program, and in his 18 years overall at the Naval Academy, head coach Ken Niumatalolo continues to engineer a program that has hit on all cylinders since he took over the reigns at the end of the 2007 campaign. 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 by a coach or team in the program’s 132-year history. Niumatalolo (68-37, .648) is the all-time winningest coach in school history and is the only coach in the history of the Army-Navy game to start his coaching career 8-0 against the other Academy. Those two achievements go at the top of a long list of achievements by Niumatalolo. He led Navy to a school record 11 wins in 2015, which included sharing the West Division title with Houston in Navy’s first year in the American Athletic Conference and winning the Lambert Trophy, which is given to the best team in the East, for the first time since 1963. He is the first coach in school history to win three consecutive bowl games and his four bowl wins total are the most in school history. He has led Navy to five Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies, which is tied with George Welsh and Paul Johnson for the most in school history. In 2013, Niumatalolo was selected to the inaugural class of the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame and was inducted on January 23 in Honolulu. He 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. Navy finished the 2015 campaign with a school-record 11 wins against just two losses, qualified for a bowl game for the 12th time in the last 13 years, won a bowl game for the 10th time in school history (beat Pittsburgh, 44-28, in the Military Bowl), won a bowl game for a third straight year for the first time in school history, defeated Army for a series-record 14th consecutive year, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the third time in the last four years, won the Lambert Trophy as the best team in the East for the first time since 1963, finished 18th in the country in both the Associated Press and Coaches polls and shared the West Division title of the American Athletic Conference with Houston in Navy’s first year of being in a conference after being an Independent for 134 years. In 2014, Navy finished with an 8-5 record, qualified for a bowl game for the 11th time in the last 12 years, won a bowl game for just the ninth time in school history (beat San Diego State, 17-16, in the Poinsettia Bowl), won a bowl game in back-to-back years for the second time in school history and defeated Army for a series-record 13th consecutive year. Navy finished the 2013 season 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. 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. 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 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 12 seasons, compiling an 100-54 record (.649). 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 fifth-straight 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. 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

NAvy’S CoACHING STAffoffensive 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.

IvIN JASPERoFFeNSive coordiNator / QuarterbackS17th SeaSoN Ivin Jasper is in his 17th year at the Naval Academy, his 15th as the quarterbacks coach and his ninth 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 111-56 (.665) record over the last 13 years, that includes 12 bowl games, 10 Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies and a 14-0 mark against Army. Navy has won at least nine games six times in the last 12 years. Before the current streak, Navy had won nine or more games just five times in the previous 77 seasons. Navy finished the 2015 campaign with a school-record 11 wins against just two losses, qualified for a bowl game for the 12th time in the last 13 years, won a bowl game for the 10th time in school history (beat Pittsburgh, 44-28, in the Military Bowl), won a bowl game for a third straight year for the first time in school history, defeated Army for a series-record 14th consecutive year, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the third time in the last four years, won the Lambert Trophy as the best team in the East for the first time since 1963, finished 18th in the country in both the Associated Press and Coaches polls and shared the West Division title of the American Athletic Conference with Houston in Navy’s first year of being in a conference after being an Independent for 134 years. Senior quarterback Keenan Reynolds finished is playing career as the all-time leading touchdown scorer (both total and rushing) in FBS history with 88, as well as the all-time leading rusher for a quarterback in FBS history (4,559 yards), the all-time leading rusher in school history and the all-time leader touchdown passer in school history (31). He is just the sixth quarterback in FBS history to rush for 4,000 yards and pass for 4,000 yards in a career. He finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting, was named Third Team All-American by the Associated Press and was named the American Athletic Association and ECAC Offensive Player of the Year. As a team, the Mids finished No. 2 in the country in rushing offense (326.7), No. 3 in passing yards per completion (20.0), 22nd in scoring offense (36.8), No. 1 in red zone offense (.948),No. 4 in third down conversions (.503), No. 1 in fourth down conversions (.923), No. 1 in fewest turnovers lost (8), No. 3 in turnover margin (+1.46), No. 1 in fewest penalties per game (3.1) and No. 1 in fewest penalty yards per game (26.1). Navy finished the 2014 season with an 8-5 record, qualified for a bowl game for the 11th time in the last 12 years, won a bowl game for just the ninth time in school history (beat San Diego State, 17-16, in the Poinsettia Bowl), won a bowl game in back-to-back years for the second time in school history and defeated Army for a series-record 13th consecutive year. Navy ranked second in the nation in rushing in 2014 (338.1 yards per game), second in passing yards per completion (17.1 yards per completion) and 11th in third down offense (.481). Junior quarterback Keenan Reynolds ran for 23 touchdowns in 2014, which was the third most in school history, tied for the fourth most in NCAA history by a quarterback and was the fifth most in the country. His 64 career rushing touchdowns are an NCAA record for a quarterback and are tied for the fourth most in NCAA history by a player at any position. He needs just 14 touchdowns his senior year to set the NCAA record for rushing touchdowns. 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). Reynolds had one of the greatest seasons by a Navy football player in school history in 2013, 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. 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, Keenan Reynolds and Tago Smith. Additionally, his work has catapulted Navy to No. 1 in the nation in rushing five times, including an NCAA-record four-straight years from 2005-08. Navy has never finished lower than sixth in the nation in rushing during Jasper’s tenure. 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, 17-13, 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 (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 Commander-In-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 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 a memorable one as well as the Midshipmen posted an 8-5 record, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a school-record fifth-straight bowl game, became the first team in NCAA history to lead the nation in rushing three-consecutive years (rushing for a school-record 348.8 yards per contest) and defeated Notre Dame for the first time since 1963. In 2006, Navy became just the fifth school in NCAA history to go to four or more consecutive bowl games with a different quarterback each year. In 2005, Navy led the nation in rushing (318.7 yards per game) as the Mids went 8-4, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy and won a bowl game in consecutive years (beat Colorado State, 51-30) for the first time in school history. In 2004, the Mids won a school-record tying 10 games (the most wins since 1905), won the Emerald Bowl and claim the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

He has been an integral part of a staff that has brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight with a 111-56 (.665) record over the last 13 years, that includes 12 bowl games, 10 Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies and a 14-0 mark against Army. Navy finished the 2015 campaign with a school-record 11 wins against just two losses, qualified for a bowl game for the 12th time in the last 13 years, won a bowl game for the 10th time in school history (beat Pittsburgh, 44-28, in the Military Bowl), won a bowl game for a third straight year for the first time in school history, defeated Army for a series-record 14th consecutive year, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the third time in the last four years, won the Lambert Trophy as the best team in the East for the first time since 1963, finished 18th in the country in both the Associated Press and Coaches polls and shared the West Division title of the American Athletic Conference with Houston in Navy’s first year of being in a conference after being an Independent for 134 years.

2015 GAME-by-GAME RESULTSNavy 48, colgate 10 gM1Sept. 5, 2015 • annapoliS, Md. • nMCMS • 28,015

• (AP) Senior fullback chris Swain rumbled for a career-high 126 yards, including a 52-yard touchdown, all in the first half as Navy cruised to a 48-10 victory over Colgate in the opener for both teams.

• Navy’s ground attack finished with 371 yards on 47 carries against the Raiders, whose biggest strength was supposed to be their front seven.

• Senior quarterback Keenan Reynolds entered the game needing 14 rushing touchdowns and 20 total TDs to break the FBS career marks established by former Wisconsin tailback Montee Ball. He chipped away at those records by running for a second-quarter score.

• Colgate’s Jake Melville, who is also a dual-threat, completed 14 of 26 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown. He ran for another 29 yards on 11 carries.

• After the teams traded field goals early in the first quarter, Navy overwhelmed its FCS opponent on both sides of the ball.

• Swain made up for an earlier fumble with a 52-yard touchdown run with 2:30 left in the opening quarter. Another 46-yard scamper by senior slot back debrandon Sanders set up Navy’s second touchdown — a 1-yard sneak by Reynolds for a 17-3 lead with 11:53 remaining in the half.

• The Midshipmen offense didn’t have any problems as fullbacks Shawn White and Quentin ezell barreled for scores of 6 and 18 yards, respectively, increasing the margin to 31-3 at the break. Navy’s three fullbacks ran for 153 yards on 14 carries in the opening half.

• The Raiders managed to get into Navy territory midway through the third quarter. However, Navy’s Kevin Mccoy forced a fumble that was recovered by nose guard Patrick Forrestal. Ezell made Colgate pay with another 12-yard touchdown.

• Colgate finally got on the board with a 24-yard touchdown from Melville to John Quazza with 10:22 left in the game. McCoy then returned a fumble 54 yards for a 45-10 lead. It was Navy’s first fumble recovery for a touchdown since 2010.

• Navy’s Nick Sloan added a 38-yard field goal to round out the scoring.

• (AP) Navy’s record-setting quarterback Keenan Reynolds ran for five touchdowns and 142 yards as the Midshipmen dominated East Carolina in their American Athletic Conference debut with a 45-21 victory.

• Reynolds has scored three touchdowns or more in 13 games, the most in NCAA history. His five rushing touchdowns also set an American Athletic Conference record.

• East Carolina (1-2, 0-1 AAC) had held seven of its past 15 opponents to less than 100 rushing yards. Navy (2-0, 1-0 AAC) had 415 on the ground. Fullback chris Swain went over 100 yards for the second straight game, finishing with 123 on a career-high 29 carries and a touchdown.

• In the first half, Navy scored on all four of its possessions on drives of 68, 56, 70 and 85 yards for a 28-14 lead.

• The Pirates tried to keep Navy off-balance with a no-huddle offense. However, it was the Midshipmen who took the lead on their first possession, helped by runs of 23 and 11 yards by slotback dishan Romine. Reynolds capped the drive with a sneak from the one.

• The Midshipmen relied on their bruising fullbacks, led by Swain and Quentin ezell, to control the ground attack. This helped set up Reynolds’ second touchdown on a 2-yard dive to open the second quarter.

• After East Carolina’s Davis Plowman missed a 48-yard field goal attempt, Navy responded with two more touchdowns on 2-yard sneak by Reynolds and another 4-yard run by Swain.

• Navy linebacker daniel Gonzales was ejected late in the second quarter for targeting, setting up a 17-yard touchdown pass from Kemp to Bryce Williams.

• Navy’s defense came up with a big play in the third quarter as the offense sputtered. Will anthony stuffed Kemp on a 4th-and-1 and then he recovered a fumble on the Pirates’ 17-yard line on a sack by amos Mason. Reynolds took advantage with a 2-yard run boosted the lead to 35-14 to open the fourth quarter.

• The Pirates cut the lead on the next possession when Kemp found Bryce Williams on an 8-yard score. Navy responded with an 11-play, 75-yard score with Reynolds running in from the 17 to make it 42-14. Tyler Goble’s first career interception set up austin Grebe’s 25-yard field goal to round out the scoring.

• (AP) Senior quarterback Keenan Reynolds rushed for a game-high 183 yards, including 117 in the first half, to lead the Midshipmen to a 33-11 victory over service academy rival Air Force in Annapolis.

• It was Navy’s largest margin of victory in the series since 1978.• Reynolds completed 4 of his 10 passes for 117 yards with a touchdown on a wet,

windy day, while chris Swain, a 6-foot-1, 245-pound fullback, had a pair of short-yardage scores for the Midshipmen.

• Air Force committed a season-high four turnovers, all in Navy territory. Karson Roberts, who was 5 for 12 for 73 yards with an interception, ran for his team’s lone touchdown in the fourth quarter.

• Reynolds ran for 54 yards on Navy’s first play from scrimmage to set up the first score, a two-yard run by Swain. The Midshipmen defense came up big on Air Force’s ensuing possession, stuffing fullback Shayne Davern on fourth-and-goal from the 1.

• After Navy’s Kwazel bertrand recovered a fumble by Roberts, the Midshipmen went 64 yards to pull ahead 14-0 with 14:47 left in the second quarter. This time, Reynolds threw a 27-yard pass to Thomas Wilson, who fought off two defenders just inside the end zone.

• Reynolds continued to be the difference-maker and another 67-yard run gave the Mids the ball at the 1 late in the second quarter. Three plays later, demond brown scored on a sweep and Navy led 21-0 at the break.

• Navy carried that momentum into the second half. On the opening drive, the Mids went 75 yards on 12 plays and boosted the lead to 27-0 on 1-yard run by Swain.

• The win gave the Mids an advantage in what was the first leg in the battle for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy. Now in its 44th year, the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy is presented annually to the winner of the football games among the three major service academies - Army, Navy and Air Force. The Falcons won the trophy last season after beating Navy 30-21 and Army 23-6.

• (AP) Navy’s Keenan Reynolds scored twice in the fourth quarter to tie the collegiate mark for career rushing touchdowns, and Navy set a school record with three 100-yard rushers in a 29-17 victory over South Florida.

• The Midshipmen never led until Reynolds bulled in from the 1 to make it 22-17 with 6:58 left. After South Florida fumbled the ensuing kickoff, Reynolds clinched it with another 1-yard touchdown run with 1:49 remaining.

• Reynolds’ final TD came on a fourth-and-goal after a sideline chat with coach Ken Niumatalolo.

• Following his fullback, the senior quarterback scored his 77th career rushing TD, tying former Wisconsin running back Montee Ball (2009-12) for most in NCAA history.

• Reynolds finished with 117 yards rushing, dishan Romine had 115 and chris Swain totaled 131 for Navy.

• The victory made the Midshipmen bowl eligible for the 12th time in 13 years. Navy has ties to the Military Bowl but could go to a more prestigious venue if it wins the AAC title game.

• Rodney Adams took the opening kickoff back 97 yards for South Florida, but the Bulls scored only one other touchdown. The defeat ended their three-game winning streak.

• Navy trailed 17-16 before Reynolds launched an 80-yard drive for the winning score, accounting for 56 yards on seven carries.

• After Reynolds scored, Adams lost the handle of the following kickoff. Navy then covered 42 yards to increase its lead.

• The Midshipmen finished with 428 yards on the ground, the most since Sept. 6, 2014, against Temple.

• (AP) Senior fullback chris Swain ran for 108 yards and three touchdowns and the Midshipmen upset No. 15 Memphis, 45-20, snapping the Tigers’ winning streak at 15 games.

• The Midshipmen beat a top 15 team for the first time since Nov. 17, 1984, against then-No. 2 South Carolina, and accomplished the feat on the road for the first time since Sept. 21, 1974, against then-No. 8 Penn State.

• Senior slot back debrandon Sanders ran for 82 yards and Navy’s triple-option rushing attack had 374 yards against a Memphis defense that had only allowed 118.8 yards a game.

• But it was a 75-yard scoring pass from senior quarterback Keenan Reynolds to Sanders with 6:43 left in the third quarter that gave the Midshipmen the lead for good at 24-17. The pass came on the first play from scrimmage after Memphis tied it at 17.

• Navy held Memphis, which entered the game averaging 47.9 points and 560 yards of offense, to 438 yards.

• The Midshipmen controlled time of possession with 37 minutes.• In addition to Swain’s scores and Sanders’ scoring reception, calvin cass Jr. scored

on an 8-yard run in the fourth quarter and demond brown added a 1-yard touchdown run to close the scoring.

• Reynolds gave Navy the lead early in the third quarter by crossing up the defense that was concentrating on the run with the long pass to Sanders. That came after Memphis had a 15-play drive, capped by a 1-yard run by Anthony Miller that tied it at 17.

• The game’s first two possessions played according to script with Memphis striking first and quickly through the air, covering 85 yards in just four plays, the final 11 on a pass from Lynch to Miller. The Mids answered with a 9-minute drive over 75 yards, all on the ground. Swain scored from 3 yards.

• Swain scored on a 2-yard run in the second quarter, and austin Grebe’s 44-yard field goal closed out the half with Navy leading 17-10.

• Lynch was 15 of 25 for 198 yards in the half, but Navy linebacker daniel Gonzales picked off a pass to set up Grebe’s field goal as time expired in the half.

2015 GAME-by-GAME RESULTS#22 Navy 55, SMu 14 gM 9nov. 14, 2015 • annapoliS, Md. • nMCMS • 35,778

• (AP) Senior quarterback Keenan Reynolds scored four rushing touchdowns to boost his career total to 81, and No. 22 Navy beat SMU, 55-14, to remain undefeated in the American Athletic Conference.

• Reynolds shattered the NCAA FBS career rushing touchdowns mark held by Montee Ball, who ran for 77 TDs with Wisconsin from 2009-12. Ball holds the record for total touchdowns with 83.

• No. 78 for Reynolds came on a 4-yard run on Navy’s opening drive. • Reynolds scored on runs of 43 and 8 yards on the next two series to make it 21-0, and

then added a 32-yard touchdown with 14:19 left to make it 41-14.• Reynolds rushed for 137 yards and threw a 72-yard touchdown pass to help Navy

earn its fourth straight win. Playing as a ranked team for the first time since 2004, the Midshipmen - 20th in the CFP ranking - are off to their best start since 1963.

• Navy’s defense played a part, putting the clamps on an offense that was averaging 30 points a game. The Mustangs have lost eight straight.

• In a sentimental move, Morris started third-string quarterback Garrett Krstich, whose late father was co-captain of the 1969 Navy team. After Krstich completed a pass for no gain on the game’s first play from scrimmage, Morris called a timeout to allow the senior to savor the moment.

• SMU quarterback Matt Davis ran for a touchdown and threw for a score, but the junior never had a chance of keeping pace with Navy’s prolific triple-option attack.

• With Reynolds at the controls, the Midshipmen rolled up 403 yards rushing in reaching a season high in points.

• Navy took control early. SMU had three-and-outs on its first three possessions, and Navy scored on its first four drives to take a 28-0 lead. The last score came when Reynolds lofted a pass to a wide-open Jamir Tillman.

• Davis scored on a 1-yard run late in the half, but Navy went up 34-7 when demond brown scored on 32-yard run to close out a 78-yard drive.

• Any chance SMU had of a comeback disappeared early in the fourth quarter when Reynolds broke free on the left side of the line and coasted into the end zone.

• (AP) Quarterback Keenan Reynolds ran for 81 yards and a touchdown while directing a Navy offense that rolled up 512 yards on the ground and the Midshipmen beat Tulsa, 44-21.

• Reynolds, who also threw for a touchdown, became Navy’s all-time leading rusher with 4,195 yards, breaking Napoleon McCallum’s record of 4,179 yards. His 82 career touchdowns remain one behind the career NCAA touchdown record of 83 set by Wisconsin’s Montee Ball.

• Slot back Toneo Gulley ran 70 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, the longest run by a Navy runner this season, to give the Mids a 7-0 lead. They would never trail as seven different players took turns scoring in the rout.

• Reynolds threw a 39-yard strike to Jamir Tillman, then scored on a 1-yard run to make it 21-0 before Tulsa finally got on the board.

• After closing to 21-7 on a 1-yard plunge by Zack Langer, Tulsa stopped Navy. But instead of running out the clock, Tulsa rushed to get off a play on third-and-14 from its own 18. A bad snap rolled past Tulsa quarterback Dane Evans, who tried unsuccessfully to pick up the ball and it was knocked through the end zone for a safety to make it 23-7 at halftime.

• After dishan Romine returned the opening kickoff of the second half 90 yards to the Tulsa 8, demond brown ran it in from four yards out to put Navy ahead 30-7 just 55 seconds into the second half.

• It was no surprise that Navy chewed up the Golden Hurricane’s 115th-ranked run defense. The question was whether Tulsa’s ninth-ranked offense would be able to keep pace against the AAC’s best defense.

• Evans threw for 279 yards but was sacked four times. Tulsa went three-and-out on its first two possessions and receiver Keyarris Garrett was stripped of the ball after a first-down reception on Tulsa’s third try. It finally got moving late in the second quarter.

• After Langer’s second touchdown cut the lead to 30-14, Navy reeled off consecutive touchdowns, the second on a 24-yard reverse run by receiver brandon colon, to put the game out of reach at 44-14 early in the fourth quarter.

• (AP) Senior Keenan Reynolds became the first quarterback in the history of the Army-Navy game to go 4-0 as he rushed for two touchdowns and threw for another score to lead the #21 Midshipmen to their 14th straight win over Army West Point, 21-17, at Lincoln Financial Field.

• With the win over the Black Knights, Navy also captured the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, awarded to the team with the best record in games among the three service academies. Navy beat Air Force, 33-11, this season.

• Head coach Ken Niumatalolo improved to 8-0 against the Black Knights, tying for the most wins by a coach in the Army-Navy game.

• The Black Knights got a field goal on the game’s opening drive and Tyler Campbell scored on a 29-yard run make it 10-7 in the first.

• Carter hit Edgar Poe for a 39-yard TD pass with 2:08 left in the half to make it 17-14 and give Army West Point its first halftime lead since 2009.

• Reynolds scored on runs of 58 yards and 1 yard to keep Navy in the game. His second rushing TD was his 85th career score, the most for any FBS or FCS player.

• Reynolds showed why he was a contender for Heisman Trophy consideration. The only player in program history with two 1,000-yard rushing AND passing seasons, put the Mids up 21-17 with a 50-yard TD pass to Jamir Tillman late in the third.

• Army West Point turned the ball over three times in the fourth quarter, while Daniel Grochowski missed a 29-yard field goal to open the final quarter of action. Chris Carter lost a fumble at the Navy 34-yard that was recovered by linebacker Ted colburn (8:33). Navy had two interceptions - one off a trick play - on consecutive drives (3:27, 2:03) to preserve the lead. Army’s Hail Mary on the final play of the game fell short.

2015 GAME-by-GAME RESULTS#21 Navy 44, pitt 28 (Military bowl) gM 13deC. 28, 2015 • annapoliS, Md. • nMC MeMorial StadiuM • 36,352

• (AP) Senior quarterback Keenan Reynolds wrapped up his record-setting college career in spectacular fashion, running for three scores and throwing for another to lead Navy past Pittsburgh, 44-28, in the Military Bowl.

• After the Midshipmen let a 24-point cushion dwindle to 38-28, Reynolds capped a nine-play drive with a 9-yard touchdown run with 4:19 remaining. It was his 88th career TD, breaking a tie with Kenneth Dixon of Louisiana Tech for most in Football Bowl Subdivision history.

• Reynolds ran for 144 yards on 24 carries, completed 9 of 17 passes for 126 yards and had a reception for 47 yards on a trick play.

• He leaves Navy as the FBS career leader in touchdowns and points (530). His 4,559 yards rushing are the most by a quarterback in Division I history.

• With Reynolds leading the way, the Midshipmen completed their first 11-win season in 135 years of football.

• Qadree Ollison rushed for 73 yards and scored two touchdowns for Pitt. Nate Peterman threw a TD pass, but was intercepted three times.

• It all added up to a disappointing ending for the Panthers in their first season under coach Pat Narduzzi.

• After Quadree Henderson returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for Pitt, Navy went up 21-7 at halftime and built a 31-7 lead midway through the third quarter.

• Pitt scored two touchdowns in 17 seconds to close to 31-21, but could not complete the comeback.

• It’s the first time Navy has won three straight bowl games.• Playing before a sellout crowd of 36,352 in its home stadium, Navy used its triple-

option attack to overwhelm a team that went 6-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and ranked 20th in the nation against the run. The Midshipmen finished with 590 yards in offense, including 417 on the ground - 114 by senior fullback chris Swain.

• After Henderson weaved from end zone to end zone for the game-opening score, Reynolds directed a 75-yard drive that ended with his 1-yard touchdown run.

• Later in the first quarter, Reynolds capped a 14-play march with a 5-yard TD. Navy’s next touchdown came on an 11-yard pass from Reynolds to Tyler carmona.

• Niumatalolo momentarily abandoned the triple option in the third quarter in favor of a bit of trickery. Reynolds pitched the ball to fullback Shawn White, then went around the right side of the line for a catch-and-run that set up a 26-yard touchdown jaunt by demond brown.

• It was 31-7 before Nate Peterman threw a 4-yard TD pass to Ollison, and a 22-yard fumble return by Jordan Whitehead got Pitt within 10 points.

• After Navy scored another touchdown, Ollison ran for a 45-yard score to make it 38-28.• But this was to be Reynolds’ day. In his final significant drive with the Midshipmen, he

converted three third downs and drew the Panthers offside on a fourth-and-3.• Junior corner brendon clements had two interceptions for the Navy defense, while

senior safety lorentez barbour also picked off Peterman.
