Blake Horvath's Dominant 4 TD, 204-Yard Rushing Game Wows CFB Fans as Navy Beats Army

For the first time since 2021, Navy came out on top against Army.

The Midshipmen upset the No. 22 Black Knights 31-13 in Landover, Maryland, behind a huge game from quarterback Blake Horvath, who had 311 total yards and four total touchdowns in the win. He picked up 104 passing yards and two scores through the air while torching Army's defense for 204 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground.

The junior had more rushing yards than the Black Knights had of total offense.

Navy took a quick 7-0 lead in the first half after Horvath punched it in at the goal line. The Midshipmen made it a 14-0 lead on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Horvath to Brandon Chatman.

Army avoided going into halftime with a two-score deficit as quarterback Bryson Daily found Hayden Reed for a touchdown in the second quarter. The Black Knights made it 14-10 in the third quarter on a 39-yard field goal.

Navy gave itself an 11-point cushion when Horvath completed a pass to Eli Heidenreich, who took it to the house for a 52-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

Just as it seemed Navy was going to pull away, Army cut it to a one-possession game early in the fourth quarter on a field goal. After the field goal, Army nearly forced Navy off the field, but the Midshipmen used a gutsy fake punt on fourth down to get the ball in the red zone.

Navy went to the big man Landon Robinson on the play and he showed off his speed before fumbling. Luckily for the Midshipmen, they recovered and scored moments later to go up 28-13.

Navy kept the momentum on its side on the next drive with a miraculous interception.

A field goal after the interception made it a 31-13 game and Army threw its third interception on the next drive to seal the win for Navy.

The Army-Navy game is seemingly always competitive, but it was all Navy on Saturday despite the Black Knights coming in with just one loss.
