For all the "we've never seen it before" conversation that happens in college basketball every March, the simple truth is we actually have seen most of it before. Sure, the upsets are still exciting and the storylines are still juicy, but rarely do we get a true moment that can withstand the test of time.In 1986, we got one of those, when Navy made a March run to remember. It came...

The Navy Midshipmen had one of their best seasons in program history last year, going 11-2 and winning the Military Bowl. They are looking to do much of the same this year, but will be without cornerback Brendon Clements. It was reported last week by the Capital Gazette that Clements had been dismissed from the team after a violation of team rules. This is the second time he has...

It is a common joke among fans and announcers of teams with injury problems that, “before long, they’ll have to start pulling guys from the stands.” Well, we always thought it was a joke, but it actually happened in Saturday’s Fordham-Navy game. Starting quarterback Tago Smith suffered an apparent knee injury in the first half. For most teams, a quarterback injury is significant...

During Navy’s season opener against Fordham on Saturday, the Midshipmen had an unexpected development at the quarterback position.

In need of an extra body, the team called on freshman Malcolm Perry...

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) Navy pulled a quarterback out of the stands on Saturday, finding an unlikely replacement for injured starter Tago Smith in a 52-16 victory over Fordham in the season opener.

In their 52-16 win over Fordham on Saturday, Navy quarterback Tago Smith went down with what appeared to be a knee injury. The Midshipmen turned to Will Worth and Malcom Perry, a freshman who did not dress for the game and was in the stands, and it seems they will have to continue to play these two going forward. ESPN’s Brett McMurphy reported that Smith had suffered a torn ACL...

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) Tago Smith, who replaced Keenan Reynolds as Navy's starting quarterback, will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

College football is like any other business. If you fail to adapt, you die. And in today’s college football, adapting means being on the cutting edge of innovation and creativity. Teams who fail to keep up will, for better or worse, be forgotten and replaced much like the cassette tape or the VCR. But what if I told you there were two college football programs not only competing...

The clock may have struck midnight on Houston is a cinderella championship contender as Navy gets one of their biggest wins in recent memory.

It’s simple, effective, and so rare that even the best...
