A gutsy fake punt to an unlikely hero seals Navy’s upset win over Army in the rivalry’s 125th game

Landover, Maryland CNN — Throughout Saturday’s 125th Army-Navy game, Landon Robinson led the way for Navy’s defense. “If you told me they were going to throw it 16 times, I’d have thought that would be a good day for us.” Army quarterback Bryson Daily will be disappointed at his performance in his final Army-Navy game, throwing three crushing interceptions – the first that led to a Navy first-half touchdown, the second in the fourth quarter when he threw across his body into heavy coverage that led to another Navy touchdown that put the game out of reach and a third that sealed it late in the game. It was the first real spark of the game for Army and two plays later, Daily threw for the 23-yard score that put Army on the scoreboard for the first time, cutting Navy’s lead in half. “They grind you out, get in third and two, they get in fourth and one, and go on and convert on some of those fourth downs … we got some stops down in the red zone and really you want to force field goals and not give up touchdowns, and we did a good job of that.” Horvath’s heroics put the game on ice After that stand came Robinson’s heroics and another rushing touchdown by Horvath, who soundly outplayed his Army counterpart, accounting for more than 311 total yards and four touchdowns. And, you know, we played hard today and wanted it more.” After Daily’s second interception, Horvath gashed through Army’s defense for a 48-yard gain that would essentially put the game out of reach for Army.
