The world of college football fans turns its eyes to the Army/Navy game on the weekend between the conference championships and first weekend of bowl games (err playoffs). And the game seldom disappoints. Saturday was no exception. For the first time in decades, the two teams came in with a combined 19 wins. Army was ranked. Navy had beaten a ranked opponent. Make it two. Navy surprisingly thrashed the Army defense with body blow runs up the middle mixed with creative play calling to put the Black Knights in an outflanked position. Combine that with effective shutting down of the Army running game behind the Joe Moore Award winning best offensive line in football limiting the ground attack to just 3 yards per rush. But it was Navy's quarterback, Blake Horvath, who was the star. Horvath carried the ball 25 of the 43 totes for the Midshipmen for 204 yards and two TDs. That's over 8 yards a carry and they knew it was coming. Back to the play calling, Horvath completed 4 passes but for a total of over 100 yards and two more scores. Also. No interceptions. No fumbles lost. And sweet 31-13 dominating, upset victory against a rival. Nothing better than that, and for Blake Horvath, the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
