It is so easy to emphasize the negative in life, and this could have been the case for Keenan Reynolds and Navy heading into the Military Bowl on Monday afternoon against Pittsburgh. Navy did not win the American Athletic Conference’s West Division. It did not get to play in the first AAC Championship Game. It […]

With only championship week remaining, Henry and Watson have set themselves up to take home the trophy with a big performance.

Keenan Reynolds’ Heisman Trophy hopes went up like smoke in the night. It was no fault of his own, but that is of little comfort to Navy’s distinguished quarterback after a loss to the Houston Cougars. Reynolds had a career day throwing the ball on Friday. He compiled 312 passing yards and he rushed for […]

Leonard Fournette was at the front of the pack for the majority of the season. Three straight losses have put Fournette out of the Heisman picture. Ezekiel Elliott was a name that circulated in Heisman circles for most of the off-season. He stuck around in our top five for the majority of the season. A […]

Navy Midshipmen 2014 Record: 8-5 (won bowl game) 1 Burning Question: How high is this team’s ceiling if it secures the ball?

Because so many teams chose to play a soft non-conference slate, there weren’t as many meaningful games on the schedule this week. However, here are some items to take away from what transpired on the gridiron this weekend: USC’s defense deserves all of the credit for its 13-10 victory over Stanford.

Despite its lackluster showing against Navy, Ohio State proved that it’s still a contender for Big Ten – and possibly national championship – honors this fall. Make no mistake about it: the Buckeyes were far from perfect today. Navy’s ground game dominated this contest at times, rushing for 370 yards and an average of 5.9 […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart In case you live under a rock, apparently Braxton Miller, all-world Ohio State quarterback, won’t be playing football again this year because of a re-bummed shoulder.
