Navy Sets Spring Practice Schedule• Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo announced the dates for Navy’s spring football

practice. The Mids will practice the NCAA-maximum 15 times, which includes two scrimmages and a spring game.

• Navy will begin practicing on Monday, March 18 .• The team will scrimmage at the stadium on Saturday, March 30 and Saturday, April 6. The spring

game will take place on Friday, April 12 at 7:00 pm.• Practices during the week generally run from 4:00-6:00 pm and the Saturday scrimmages and

practices start at approximately 9:00 am. All dates and times are subject to change.• The full schedule is on the front page of the prospectus.

Navy Announces 2013 Schedule• The Navy football team, coming off an 8-5 campaign that saw the Mids win the Command-

er-In-Chief’s Trophy for the eighth time in the last 10 years and appear in a bowl game for the ninth time in the last 10 years, will face a challenging 2013 schedule that includes seven bowl teams from 2012 including a Notre Dame team that played for the BCS National Championship.

• The Mids have an attractive five game home schedule in Annapolis that includes games against Service Academy rival Air Force, Pittsburgh, in its first year in the ACC, on Homecoming and Football Championship Subdivision power and local rival Delaware. The annual Army-Navy Game Presented by USAA, which is the greatest rivalry in all of sports, will be played on Dec. 14 in Philadelphia.

• “This will once again be an incredibly challenging schedule for our football team,” said Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo. “With seven teams on our schedule that went to bowl games a year ago and with four teams from BCS conferences on the schedule, our young men will have to work extremely hard this offseason to accomplish all of our goals next year. I think we have a great home schedule and I hope our fans and the Brigade will be excited about the quality games we are playing at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, as we will need that home field advantage.”

• Navy kicks off the 2013 campaign on Sept. 7 when the Mids travel to Bloomington, Ind. to take on the Indiana Hoosiers of the Big 10. It will be the latest Navy has started a season since 1998 when the Mids opened at Wake Forest on Sept. 10. Meanwhile, it will mark Navy’s first trip to Bloom-ington since 1986. Last year, Navy rallied for a thrilling 31-30 victory over Indiana in Annapolis.

• The Mids return to Annapolis the following Saturday (Sept. 14) to take on Delaware in the home opener. This will be the sixth meeting between the two squads since 2003 with Navy holding a slim 3-2 advantage over the Blue Hens.

• After an off week, Navy travels to Bowling Green, Ky. to take on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and first-year head coach Bobby Petrino. Western Kentucky was 7-6 last year including a loss to Central Michigan in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Western Kentucky will be the first of six-straight opponents that participated in a bowl game a year ago.

• Air Force comes to Annapolis (Oct. 5) the following week as Navy will look to defend its title as the top Service Academy football team in the first game of the round-robin competition between Navy, Air Force and Army for the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy. Navy defeated Air Force last year, 28-21, in overtime. The last 10 games between these two rivals have been decided by an average of 5.2 points per game with the last two games going to overtime. Air Force finished last year 6-7 after losing to Rice, 33-14, in the Armed Forces Bowl.

• The Mids will hit the road the next two weeks playing at Duke on Oct. 12 and at Toledo on Oct. 19. Duke is coming off its most wins (six) since 1994 and played Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl, while To-ledo finished 9-4 in 2012 and played in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl where it lost to Utah State.

• The Mids return home to face a Pittsburgh squad on Homecoming (Oct. 26) that is coming off a six-win season and an appearance in the BBVA Compass Bowl against Ole Miss. Pitt will be in its first season as a member of the ACC.

• The Mids travel to South Bend, Ind. the following week (Nov. 2) to take on the Notre Dame Fight-ing Irish. Notre Dame is coming off a season that saw it go undefeated in the regular season and play Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game.

• Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo’s alma mater, Hawai’i, will come to town on Nov. 9 to take on the Midshipmen, while South Alabama will travel to Annapolis the following week (Nov. 16) to play Navy for the first time.

• The Mids will travel to San Jose State on Nov. 23. The Spartans are coming off an 11-2 season and a victory over Bowling Green in the Military Bowl Presented by Northrop Grumman, 29-20. San Jose State has beaten Navy in each of the last two seasons.

• The Mids will cap off the 2013 season on Dec. 14 against Army at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. The Mids won last year’s game in thrilling fashion, rallying for a 17-13 victory. It was Navy’s 11th-straight victory over the Black Knights, which is a series record.

• CBS has the rights to all of Navy’s home football games and either CBS or CBS Sports Network will televise all five home contests. Navy’s game at Notre Dame will be televised by NBC, while CBS is home for the Army-Navy Game. Game times and television information for the rest of the road schedule will be announced at a later date.

• With six wins in 2013, the Mids will appear in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl in Ft. Worth, Texas. A date has not been set for the bowl game.

Matt Aiken And Cody Peterson Named 2013 Team Captains• Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo announced at the annual Navy football banquet that

rising seniors linebacker Cody Peterson and wide receiver Matt Aiken have been elected team captains for the 2013 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. “Cody and Matt are great leaders on and off the field and there is no question in my mind that they will do a great job. They both work extremely hard and will set an example for the entire team.”

• Peterson played in all 12 games last fall, starting the final eight at inside linebacker. He finished with 67 tackles, two tackles for a loss and a forced fumble. Peterson recorded 10 tackles in Navy’s overtime victory over Air Force and a career-high 14 tackles against Army.

• Aiken has seen action in 33 games in his career and is a three-year letterwinner. He missed the first four games this past year after suffering a knee injury during fall camp, but came back to catch seven passes for 61 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning touchdown with 2:02 remaining in Navy’s 31-30 come-from-behind victory over Indiana. Aiken has 20 catches for 262 yards and four touchdowns in his career.

Navy Quick Hitters• Since 2003, Navy has won 19 games against schools from a BCS conference. The 19 wins

against BCS schools during that time period, which have come against 10 different teams, are the most in the country by a non-BCS school.

• Navy played six bowl eligible teams in 2012 (counting Penn State, which did not go to a bowl due to NCAA sanctions) and compiled a 3-3 record against the six programs. The Mids defeated Air Force (6-6), Central Michigan (6-6) and East Carolina (8-4) and lost to Notre Dame (12-0), Penn State (8-4) and San Jose State (10-2). Navy opponents went 2-3 in their bowl games.

• Navy’s five losses last year (Notre Dame, Penn State, San Jose State, Troy and Arizona State) came at the hands of opponents who were a combined 44-19 (.698). Notre Dame (12-1) was ranked No. 1 in the country and lost to Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game, while San Jose State (11-2) defeated Bowling Green in the Northrop Grumman Military Bowl in Wash-ington, D.C. Notre Dame finished No. 3/No.4 in the country, while San Jose State was ranked 21st in both polls. Penn State received votes in the final Associated Press poll, while Arizona State received votes in the final USA Today/Coaches poll.

• Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo is just the third coach in school history to start his coaching career at Navy with a 5-0 record against Army. Paul Johnson turned in a 6-0 mark against West Point (2002-07), while Wayne Hardin won his first five games (1959-63) before losing.

• Navy has been the dominant Service Academy over the last decade, posting a 19-2 record (.905) against Army (11-0) and Air Force (8-2) in the last 21 meetings, winning eight Command-er-In-Chief’s Trophies in the last 10 years and going to nine bowl games in the last 10 years. Navy has amassed an 83-45 (.648) overall record in the last 10 years, while Air Force is 68-56 (.548) and Army is 32-88 (.267). The 83 wins are the 22nd most in the country over the last decade.

• Niumatalolo has led the Midshipmen to a 40-26 (.606) record in his five seasons as the head coach. He is fourth all-time at Navy in career wins. Niumatalolo holds Navy coaching records for most wins in the first two (18), three (27), four (32) and five seasons (40) of a career.

• Over the final 11 games of the year (8-3), Navy outscored the opposition in the second half, 174-111. The Navy defense allowed just 12 second half touchdowns over the final 11 games.

• The Mids turned the ball over 13 times in their five losses and six times in their eight wins.• Keenan Reynolds was the first freshman to start at quarterback for Navy since Jim Kubiak

started five games in 1991. Meanwhile, he was just the third freshman in school history to start at quarterback (the other was Alton Grizzard in 1987). Reynolds was 6-2 as a starting quarterback in 2012 with wins over Central Michigan, Indiana, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Texas State and Army and losses to Troy and Arizona State. He also came off the bench with Navy down eight points to Air Force in the fourth quarter to lead the Mids to an overtime victory. He led Navy to

three fourth-quarter comebacks (Air Force, Indiana and Army). Kubiak won just one game as a freshman starter (beat a 5-5 Army team) and Grizzard won two games (lost to Army). Reynolds is the first Navy quarterback to win his first four career starts since senior Bob Powers, who won his first six career starts in 1979, and is the first freshman in series history to win Army-Navy MVP honors.

• Rising junior punter Pablo Beltran averaged 43.6 yards per punt (44 punts) last season, which is the third-best single-season average in school history.

Dominant Era in Army-Navy History• Navy’s 17-13 victory over Army in 2012 was its 11th consecutive win over the Black Knights, the

longest streak in series history by either team. • The Mids have won those 11 in a row against Army by outscoring the Black Knights, 366-125

(33.3-11.4).

Reynolds Shines As A Freshman Quarterback• Keenan Reynolds became the first freshman to start at quarterback for Navy since Jim Kubiak

started five games in 1991, when he guided the Midshipmen to a 31-13 victory over Central Michigan.

• Navy finished 1-10 in 1991 (1-5 with Kubiak as the starter) with its only victory coming against a 5-5 Army team in the final game of the season, 24-3.

• Reynolds is just the third freshman in program history to start at quarterback, joining Kubiak and Alton Grizzard, who started seven games at quarterback in 1987 (Navy was 2-5 with Grizzard as

the quarterback and 0-4 without him). • Reynolds was 6-2 (.750) as a starting quarterback this year and led Navy to three fourth-quarter

comebacks (Air Force, Army and Indiana. He did not start the Air Force game). • In his first career start against Central Michigan, Reynolds completed six of his 11 passes for 134

yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 59 yards in leading Navy to a 31-13 victory. His three touchdowns passing are the most by a Navy quarterback since Chris McCoy threw three against Colgate in 1997.

• Reynolds won his second start, rallying Navy to a 31-30 victory over Indiana. He rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries and completed eight of 13 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. His four-yard TD pass to junior Matt Aiken with 2:02 left gave Navy the win.

• Reynolds improved to 3-0 as a starter with a nearly flawless performance against East Carolina as Navy rolled over the Pirates, 56-28. Reynolds led the Mids to touchdowns on seven of his eight drives and totaled 132 yards of total offense and five touchdowns (3 rushing, 2 passing).

• Reynolds won his fourth straight start with a 24-17 win over Florida Atlantic. He rushed for a career-high 159 yards and one touchdown on 26 carries and completed eight of his 15 passes for a career-high 147 yards and two touchdowns.

• Reynolds suffered his first defeat as a starting quarterback in his fifth start against Troy. He carried the ball 21 times for 130 yards and three touchdowns, while completing eight of his 15 pass attempts for 159 yards.

• In his sixth start, Reynolds led Navy to a 21-10 victory over Texas State. He rushed for 50 yards on 10 carries and completed three of his eight pass attempts for 35 yards.

• In his seventh start, Reynolds led Navy on a fourth quarter seven-play, 80-yard drive that he capped himself with an eight-yard touchdown run to give Navy a 17-13 victory over Army. Reyn-olds was held to 43 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, while completing 10 of 17 passes for 130 yards. His 49-yard pass to Brandon Turner set up his eight-yard touchdown run. He beame the first player in series history to be named the game’s MVP as a freshman.

• In his eighth start, Reynolds ran for 21 yards and threw for 14 yards and a touchdown in Navy’s loss to Arizona State in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

• In his eight starts, Reynolds rushed for 609 yards and nine touchdowns on 145 carries (76.1 yds/gm, 4.2 yds/carry) and has completed 51 of his 95 pass attempts (.537) for 768 yards (96 yds/gm) with nine touchdowns and just two interceptions. He had at least one rushing touchdown in five of his eight starts and threw at least one touchdown pass in five of his eight starts.

• Reynolds was the first Navy quarterback to win his first four career starts since senior Bob Pow-ers, who won his first six career starts in 1979.

• Reynolds is believed to be just the fifth TRUE freshman to win his first four career starts at quar-terback. Notre Dame’s Matt LoVecchio won his first seven starts as a true freshman in 2000, USC’s Matt Barkley won his first six starts in 2009 and Tim Jefferson of Air Force won his first five starts as a freshman in 2008.

• Reynolds was far short of qualifying for the NCAA passing efficiency leader board (15 pass att/gm), however, if he did qualify his 150.12 efficiency rating would be the 27th best rating in the country. Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron leads the country with a 173.08 rating.

Four Over 100 Yards Rushing• Navy had four different players rush for over 100 yards in 2012, which is tied for the second most

in the country.• Senior slot back Gee Gee Greene rushed for 131 yards against East Carolina, a career-high 150

yards against Troy and for 112 yards against Arizona State.• Freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds rushed for a career-best 159 yards against Florida

Atlantic and 130 yards against Troy.• Sophomore fullback Noah Copeland rushed for a career-high 126 yards against VMI and ran

for 110 yards against Texas State.• Junior quarterback Trey Miller rushed for a career-high 116 yards against VMI and 110 yards

against Air Force.

KEN NIUMATALOLO HEAD COACHEntering his sixth season at the helm of the Navy football program, head coach Ken Niumatalolo is accomplishing things that have never been done in the 131-year history of the program.

Niumatalolo’s 40 wins are the most in school history by a coach in his first five years and ranks fourth all-time at Navy, just 15 wins behind the all-time leader George Welsh. 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 school history to lead Navy to a bowl game in each of his first three seasons and is the first Service Academy coach to win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy in his first two years as a head coach.

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.

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 for the third time in Niumatalolo’s five-year tenure and the Army win marked Navy’s 11th consecutive victory over its biggest rivals. Niumatalolo is just the third coach in school history to win his first five games against Army.

Other big wins for Navy in 2012 included a come-from-behind 31-30 victory over Indiana and wins over bowl bound East Carolina (56-28) and Central Michigan (31-13).

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. Senior guard John Dowd became the first player in school history to be named a two-time First-Team Academic All-American.

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, 46, 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 10 seasons, compiling an 83-45 record (.648). The 83 wins are the 22nd most in the country over the last 10 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 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. 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.

BUDDY GREEN DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR/SECONDARy

Buddy Green is entering his 12th 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 an 83-45 (.648) record over the last 10 years, that includes nine bowl games and eight Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies.

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

The win over Army marked Navy’s 11th consecutive victory over its biggest rivals. Other big wins for Navy in 2012 included a come-from-behind 31-30 victory over Indiana and wins over bowl bound East Carolina (56-28) and Central Michigan (31-13).

Green’s defense finished 19th in the country in red zone defense, allowing just 37 scores in 50 opportunities. Safety Tra’Ves Bush and outside linebacker Keegan Wetzel were named to the All-Independent team by a nationwide media panel. Wetzel was also named a First-Team Academic All-American.

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 school-record 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 fifth-straight 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 ranked 62nd in total defense (377.3) and scoring defense (26.1) 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 N.C. 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 N.C. 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 N.C. State, he helped lead the Pack to six bowl games.

Green left N.C. State in 1994 to become the head coach at Tennessee-Chattanooga, 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, who is the assistant video coordinator at the Naval Academy, and Courtney.

Ivin Jasper is entering his 14th year at the Naval Academy, his 12th as the quarterbacks coach and his sixth as the offensive coordinator. He has been an integral part of a staff that has brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight with an 83-45 (.648) record over the last 10 years, that includes nine bowl games and eight Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies.

A big part of Navy’s success on offense has been Jasper’s ability to develop quarterbacks like Craig Candeto, Aaron Polanco, Lamar Owens, Brian Hampton, Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada, Jarod Bryant, Ricky Dobbs, Kriss Proctor, Trey Miller 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, 17-13, to win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

The win over Army marked Navy’s 11th consecutive victory over its biggest rivals. Other big wins for Navy in 2012 included a come-from-behind 31-30 victory over Indiana and wins over bowl bound East Carolina (56-28) and Central Michigan (31-13).

Jasper’s offense finished sixth in the country in rushing (278.5 yards per game), while freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds became an overnight sensation when he came off the bench to rally Navy to a 28-21 overtime victory over Air Force.

After the win over Air Force, Reynolds started the remaining eight games and engineered fourth quarter comebacks over Indiana and Army. He finished 6-2 as a starting quarterback and became the first freshman to win the E.E. “Rip” Miller Award, which is given to the team MVP, and the first freshman to be named the MVP of the Army-Navy game. He was also named the Independent Rookie of the Year by a nationwide media panel.

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

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.

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 and the coaching and teaching by Jasper is a big part of that success.

In 2005, Owens helped lead Navy to the national rushing title (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, Jasper’s efforts helped Polanco 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), win the Emerald Bowl and claim the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

In 2003, despite a lack of experience up front, the Mids led the nation in rushing and set school records for rushing yards per game, total rushing yards, rushing yards per attempt, rushing touchdowns, total offense, total offense per game and yards per play as Navy went 8-5, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy and earned a berth in the Houston Bowl.

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.

A native of Los Angeles, Jasper and his wife, Donna, are the parents of a daughter, Dallas, and sons, Jaylen and Jarren.

game 1 • notre dame 50, navy 10SEPT. 1, 2012 | DUBLIN, IRELAND | AVIVA STADIUM | 48,820• Notre Dame rushed for 293 yards and five touchdowns, while Navy turned it over four times as

the Fighting Irish scored a 50-10 victory in front of 48,820 fans at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. • Theo Riddick rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries, while George Atkinson

III carried the ball nine times for 99 yards and two touchdowns to pace the Irish rushing attack.• The Mids trailed Notre Dame 20-0 late in the second quarter when they drove 75 yards in 13

plays setting up a second-and-one from the Notre Dame 16-yard line. Junior quarterback Trey Miller dropped back to pass and lost control of the football before his arm came forward. Notre Dame’s Stephon Tuitt picked up the loose ball and rumbled 77 yards for a touchdown to give the Irish an insurmountable 27-0 lead.

• Navy drove right back down the field against the Notre Dame defense, moving 74 yards in 10 plays, with freshman kicker Nick Sloan nailing a 26-yard field goal at the end of the half to cut Notre Dame’s lead to 27-3.

• The Mids pulled to within 27-10 on the first drive of the second half as Miller completed three-con-secutive passes for 75 yards, the final one a 25-yard touchdown strike to Shawn Lynch.

• With the momentum starting to swing back in Navy’s favor the Mids desperately needed the defense to come up with a stop, but instead the Irish moved 87 yards in 12 plays with Atkinson scoring from the three to make it 33-10 and squashing Navy’s comeback hopes.

• Miller completed 14 of his 19 pass attempts for 192 yards with one touchdown and one intercep-tion. Lynch had four catches for 87 yards and a touchdown, while Casey Bolena caught three passes for 61 yards.

game 2 • Penn State 34, navy 7SePt. 15, 2012 | univerSity Park, Pa. | Beaver Stadium | 98,792• Navy committed four turnovers and seven penalties, while Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin

threw four touchdown passes, three to Allen Robinson, to lead the Nittany Lions to a 34-7 victory in front of 98,792 fans at Beaver Stadium.

• The Mids fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter as McGloin hit Jesse James with a two-yard touch-down pass and Robinson with a 45-yard scoring strike.

• The Lions made it 20-0 midway through the second quarter when McGloin hit Robinson again, this time from two yards out.

• Navy had success moving the ball against the Penn State defense, but critical errors at inoppor-tune times short circuited one drive after another.

• With Navy down 14-0 in the first, the Mids drove from their own 25 down to the Penn State five, but on third down Navy was whistled for a false start and then junior quarterback Trey Miller threw a pass up for grabs that was intercepted by linebacker Gerald Hodges.

• The Mids picked up a first down on the next drive, but that drive was thwarted by a Miller fumble and the final drive of the half ended at the Navy 38 when the clock expired.

• Navy was still in the game in the third quarter down just 20-0 and again wasted golden opportu-nities. On the first drive, Navy drove to the Penn State 30, but Miller lost five yards on first down when he was hit in the backfield before he had a chance to make a play and on fourth down, Miller was sacked and fumbled.

• On the Mids’ next possession, they moved down to the Penn State 29, but on third-and-16 Miller scrambled away from three Penn State defenders and made a perfect throw to junior wide receiver Casey Bolena at the one-yard line, but Bolena dropped the ball when trying to make the diving catch. On fourth down, Miller was sacked for a loss of 21 yards and four play later McGloin hit Robinson with a 25-yard TD strike to make it 27-0.

• Navy’s only touchdown came early in the fourth quarter when senior slot back Gee Gee Greene scored off a 12-yard run.

game 3 • navy 41, vmi 3SEPT. 22, 2012 | ANNAPOLIS, MD. | NMC MEMORIAL STADIUM | 35,671• Junior quarterback Trey Miller rushed for a career-high 116 yards and a career-high three touch-

downs on 17 carries, while sophomore fullback Noah Copeland rushed for a career-high 126 yards on 20 carries to help lead Navy to a 41-3 victory over VMI in front of 35,671 fans at Na-vy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in the home opener. The crowd was a Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium record for a home opener.

• The Mids were sloppy early on as Miller lost two fumbles. The score was tied at three late in the first half when Miller broke through with a seven-yard touchdown run and then, after the defense forced a punt, rookie kicker Nick Sloan drilled a 35-yard field goal to put the Mids up 13-3 at the half.

• Navy went up 20-3 early in the third quarter on a one-yard run by Miller and then put the game away in the fourth on a 40-yard touchdown run by Miller, a seven-yard interception return for a touchdown by senior linebacker Matt Warrick and a 21-yard touchdown run by sophomore fullback Maika Polamalu.

• The defense was stout all day, allowing just 90 yards rushing and 222 yards of total offense. It marked the first time since the 2009 Army-Navy game (Navy won 17-3) the defense has not allowed a touchdown.

• Senior linbacker Brye French led the defense with eight tackles, while senior safety Tra’ves Bush recorded seven stops and a pass break-up. Keegan Wetzel was in on five tackles, includ-ing his third sack in as many games, while Wes Henderson had five tackles, including a half a sack.

to 144 yards of total offense to lead the Spartans to a 12-0 victory over the Midshipmen in front of 32,375 fans at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

• It marked the first time Navy had been shut out since Oct. 14, 2006, when Rutgers won at Navy, 34-0. The 144 yards of total offense was the lowest output by a Navy team since Nov. 16, 2002, when the Mids gained just 82 yards of total offense against Connecticut.

• Navy won the opening toss and moved right down the field going from its own 25-yard line down to the San Jose 12, but on third-and-five, junior quarterback Trey Miller was stripped of the ball and it was recovered by San Jose State on the nine.

the Mids to 15 consecutive points as Navy rallied for a 28-21 overtime victory over Air Force in front of 38,927 fans at Falcon Stadium.

• The Mids trailed 21-13 with 9:03 remaining when Reynolds came on for Miller, who had reinjured his left ankle on the previous series.

game 9 • navy 24, fLorida atLantiC 17nov. 3, 2012 | annaPoLiS, md. | nmC memoriaL Stadium | 29,326• Freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds piled up 306 yards of total offense and three touch-

downs to lead Navy to a 24-17 victory over Florida Atlantic in front of 29,326 fans at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The win was Navy’s sixth of the year and clinched a berth to play in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. It is Navy’s ninth bowl game in the last 10 years.

• The Mids trailed 10-0 with 8:57 left in the second quarter, before Reynolds got Navy going with a 48-yard run down to the FAU 33.

• On the next play, Reynolds hit sophomore slot back Ryan Williams-Jenkins with a 22-yard pass down to the 11-yard line and three plays later, on third-and-13, Reynolds hit senior wide receiver Brandon Turner with a 14-yard touchdown pass to cut the FAU lead to 10-7.

• Florida Atlantic drove down to the Navy 15 on its next possession, but on third down Jonathan Wallace threw incomplete out of the wildcat formation and then on fourth down Wallace was stopped for no gain by sophomore nose guard Danny Ring on a screen pass from quarterback Graham Wilbert.

• The Mids took over at their own 15 with 2:10 left in the half and quickly drove down the field. Reynolds hit junior wide receiver Shawn Lynch, who made a spectacular over the shoulder catch, for 28 yards to move the ball down to the FAU 43. Reynolds then threw a screen pass to sophomore fullback Noah Copeland for 25 yards to get the ball to the FAU five-yard line. Two plays later Reynolds scored from the one to give Navy the 14-10 halftime lead.

• Navy took the second half kickoff and methodically moved down the field, but bogged down at the FAU 31-yard line. Facing a fourth-and-eight, Niumatalolo elected to go for it instead of kicking a 48-yard field goal into the wind. The gamble paid off as Reynolds hit senior wide receiver Brandon Turner with a 31-yard touchdown pass to make the score 21-10.

• Freshman kicker Nick Sloan made a 20-yard field goal with 2:08 left in the third quarter and it appeared that Navy was in command. However, the Mids allowed Florida Atlantic back in the game thanks to a costly turnover.

• Reynolds left the game in the fourth quarter with a hyperextended elbow and on the next play, junior quarterback Trey Miller and senior fullback Prentice Christian fumbled the mesh (the fumble was credited to Christian) and FAU’s Andrae Kirk recovered the ball at the Navy 39.

• Seven plays later FAU scored on a three-yard touchdown run by Wallace and the Navy lead was cut to 24-17.

• The Mids took the ball and moved to the FAU 30-yard line, but on third-and-one sophomore slot Geoffrey Whiteside lost four yards on an errant pitch by Reynolds and Sloan missed wide left on a 51-yard field goal.

• With a chance to tie Florida Atlantic moved the ball down to the Navy 17-yard line, but Wilbert threw three straight incompletions, the last one forced by sophomore defensive end Paul Ques-senberry, and the Mids got the ball back with 4:10 remaining at their own 22 and ran out the clock.

game 10 • troy 41, navy 31NOV. 10, 2012 | TROY, ALA. | VETERANS MEMORIAL STADIUM | 24,321• Troy jumped out to a 21-0 lead and held on to defeat Navy, 41-31, in front of 24,321 fans at

Veterans Memorial Stadium in Troy, Ala.• Quarterback Corey Robinson completed 25 of his 28 pass attempts for 322 yards and one

touchdown, while backup QB Deon Anthony completed nine of 12 passes for 93 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Anthony also rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns on seven carries.

• Navy’s offense struggled on its first two drives gaining just 40 yards total on the two possessions that ended in punts.

• The Trojans turned both Navy punts into touchdowns as Chandler Worthy caught a 34-yard touch-down pass from Anthony and Shawn Southward scored on a six-yard run to make the score 14-0

• It looked like Navy would answer on its next drive as freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds broke free for a 70-yard run, but Reynolds was pulled down from behind at the Troy two by Aaron Williams and the ball came free and went out of the back of the end zone for a touchback. The Trojans added insult to injury by moving 80 yards in three plays with Robinson capping off the drive with a 62-yard touchdown pass to B.J. Chitty to give the Trojans a 21-0 lead.

• The Mids, however, fought back. Reynolds led Navy down the field and scored from five yards out and then, after junior safety Wave Ryder picked off his first career pass, the Mids made it 21-14 when Reynolds again scored from five yards out one play after hitting junior wide receiver Shawn Lynch with a 68-yard pass play.

• Anthony scored on a 44-yard quarterabck draw, but Navy answered with a one-yard touchodwn run by Reynolds to make the score 28-21 at the half.

• Both teams were forced to punt to start the second half before Troy went up 10, 31-21, on a 25-yard field goal by Will Scott.

• Navy came right back and scored in two plays as Gee Gee Greene rumbled 59 yards for a touchdown to cut the lead to three at 31-28.

• The Mids got the break they were looking for when on first-and-goal from the Navy two-yard line senior outside linebacker Keegan Wetzel forced a Southward fumble and sophomore defensive end Aaron Davis fell on the ball at the Navy 1.

• The Mids moved the ball out to the 47-yard line but on second and 11 from the 47, Reynolds dropped back to pass and was blindsided by Kyle Lucas. The hit jarred the ball loose and the fumble was recoved by Derrek Upshaw.

• Troy made Navy pay for the turnover as it moved 47 yards in four plays with Anthony scoring on a four-yard touchdown run to make the score 38-28 with 12:35 remaining.

• Navy answered with a 27-yard field goal by Nick Sloan to make the score 38-31 with 7:29 left, but Scott hit a 23-yard field goal with 3:09 to give the Trojans a 41-31 lead.

game 11 • navy 21, texaS State 10NOV. 17, 2012 | ANNAPOLIS, MD. | NMC MEMORIAL STADIUM | 31,004• The Navy defense shut down Texas State’s high powered offense to lead the Mids to a 21-10

victory over Texas State in front of 31,004 fans on Senior Day at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

• Texas State came to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium coming off a 55-point outing against Louisiana Tech, but could never get untracked against the tenacious Navy defense.

• The Navy offense piled up 442 yards of total offense, including 407 yards on the ground, but several untimely mistakes kept the Mids from pulling away.

• The Mids jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a 15-yard touchdown run by Noah Copeland that capped a six play, 73-yard drive.

• Neither team threatened until late in the second quarter when Texas State stopped Navy on a fourth down attempt from the Texas State 42 and drove 52 yards down to the Navy three.

• On third down and one from the three, Marcus Curry was stopped short of the first down by Keegan Wetzel and Wes Henderson. On fourth down, Texas State tried to trick Navy with a fake field goal, but freshman corner Kwazel Bertrand was not fooled as he sacked the Texas State quarterback for a loss of 10 yards.

• Navy took control of the game on the opening kickoff of the third quarter when Jafus Gaines was drilled by John O’Boyle on the kickoff return causing him to fumble and the ball was recovered by James Britton.

• On the next play, Copeland went up the middle for a 16-yard touchdown to give Navy a 14-0 lead.• Navy made it 21-3 early in the fourth quarter when Gee Gee Greene scored from 10 yards to cap

a 10-play, 75-yard drive.• To Texas State’s credit, it came right back and scored on the next play when Rutherford hit Isaiah

Battle with a 62-yard touchdown pass to make the score 21-10.• Texas State then recovered the ensuing onside kick, but the Navy defense held and forced Texas

State to punt and the Mids held on for the 21-10 victory.• Copeland carried the ball 17 times for 110 yards and two touchdowns, while Greene ran 14 times

for 71 yards and a TD. Darius Staten had seven carries for a career-high 68 yards.• Matt Warrick led the Navy defense with nine tackles, while Brye French recorded eight and

Bertrand had seven tackles, two tackles for a loss and a sack. Keegan Wetzel tacked on two more tackles for a loss to go with his six tackles.

game 12 • navy 17, army 13deC. 8, 2012 | PhiLadeLPhia, Pa. | LinCoLn finanCiaL fieLd | 69,607• 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 Amer-ica’s Game.

• Navy captured its 11th consecutive victory over Army and in doing so won the Command-er-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 49-yard 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 career-high 14 tackles, while senior outside linebacker Keegan Wetzel recorded 11 tackles, 1.5 tackles for a loss and one sack. Senior Matt Warrick was also in on 11 stops, while sophomore outside linebacker Josh Tate, senior linebacker John Michael Nurthen and Dabney all recovered fumbles.

game 13 • arizona State 62, navy 28deC. 29, 2012 | kraft fight hunger BoWL | SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. | AT&T PARK | 34,172• Taylor Kelly threw four touchdown passes and ran for a fifth score to lead Arizona State to a 62-28

victory over Navy in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in front of 34,172 fans at AT&T Park.• Offensive MVP Marion Grice ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns for the Sun Devils (8-5),

who used their fast-paced spread offense to score touchdowns on their first nine possessions.• Among the highlights for Navy were Keenan Reynolds’ 3-yard TD pass to Matt Aiken in the first

half and a 95-yard kickoff return for a score by Gee Gee Greene in the third quarter. Greene’s kickoff return for a TD was the first in school history in a bowl game.

• Arizona State’s Rashad Ross started and ended the first-half scoring with touchdown receptions. His 16-yard catch from Kelly capped a 75-yard game-opening drive and he got behind the Navy defense for a 52-yard score in the final minute of the half to make it 34-7. Ross then caught a 50-yard TD pass on Arizona State’s first drive of the second half to make it 41-7.

• Grice scored on a 10-yard run in the first quarter and a 39-yarder in the third. He had 19 touch-downs this season, with 11 coming on the ground.

• The Midshipmen had a few opportunities to keep the game close on offense in the first half but Greene was unable to hold onto a pass in the end zone on fourth-and-7 from the 31 in the first quarter and Reynolds lost three yards on a third-and-1 keeper from the eight before Nick Sloan missed a field goal.

• Sen. John McCain, a former Navy fighter pilot who represents Arizona in Congress, handled the pregame toss. Instead of using a coin, the game sponsored by Kraft, uses an Oreo with one side being a chocolate cookie and the other vanilla.

• Greene carried the ball 12 times for 112 yards to go along with his kickoff return for a touchdown. Freshman fullback Chris Swain rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown on four carries, while sophomore fullback Noah Copeland rushed for 47 yards on 10 carries.

• Brandon Turner caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Trey Miller in the fourth quarter.• Matt Warrick led the Navy defense with nine tackles, while Tra’ves Bush, Keegan Wetzel,

Jordan Drake and Parrish Gaines had six tackles apiece.
