Jennifer O’Neill, who normally sets the pace for Kentucky, was missing in action throughout the first half. UK trailed by one at halftime against a tough Navy team. After a halftime pep talk from Coach Insell, O’Neill came out firing. She scored seven straight points in the first two minutes of the second half. Everything else would fall into place for the Cats, who took away the victory without backup center Samantha Drake.  Drake, who is a huge factor in UK’s five for five substitutions, was suspended indefinitely by Coach Mitchell. According to Mitchell, Drake has not been upholding the Kentucky basketball standard. Kentucky will take on the win...

I believe he can set the edge as well as anyone in the 2013 NFL Draft.  Keep an eye on this Naval Academy standout. How many teams were recruiting you coming out of high school and how did you make your decision? Had offers from all Ivy Leagues and Service Academy teams as well as local 1AA schools in Illinois; based my decision on the opportunity to play D-1A as opposed to D-1AA as well as the educational and leadership opportunities of a Service Academy.

Jacobo also had three steals and was 5 for 9 from beyond the 3-point line. Frank Gaines added 17 points and Joe Edwards scored 15 for the Mastodons (7-9), who shot 50 percent in each half. Worth Smith and Brandon Venturini scored 17 points apiece for the Midshipmen (6-9). Venturini was 5 for 8 from behind the arc and Navy was 10 of 19 from long range. Overall the Midshipmen shot 49 percent. Neither team led by more than eight points and the lead changed hands six times.

The Sun Devils went just 1-4 this year against teams that would end up in bowls.  The key match-up in this game is the Arizona State run defense (which came in 10th in the Pac-12) against the Navy offense (6th in the Nation in rushing). There is no comparable team on the Sun Devils schedule but the Arizona State rushing defense did give it up early and often in many games this season. One positive you can take is that the Sun Devils actually won two games in which they allowed more than 230 yards rushing (Arizona and Illinois). The point spread in this one might be a little rich but I do think that the Sun Devils just have a bit too much talent for Navy to handl...

Knorr was 7 of 8 from the foul line for the Midshipmen (6-6), with all of his attempts coming in the final 40 seconds to ensure victory. The Bulldogs (5-4) were led by Joe O'Shea's 15 points and Vlad Kondratyev's 11 points and nine rebounds. Dyami Starks, who entered as Bryant's leading scorer with 18.3 points per game, was limited to eight points and shot 1 of 9 from 3-point range. He hit six 3-pointers in the team's game against Binghamton Saturday and entered averaging a Northeast Conference-best 3.25 treys per game. The teams were tied 53-all with under 6 minutes left when Dunbar hit a layup to spark a 9-2 run before Knorr iced the game with his free throws.

Each year, as with most rivalries, a season can be defined by the outcome of just one game. For Army and Navy, that is the Army Navy Game. The thrill of victory has an exact opposite in the agony of defeat. Words cannot do justice to the emotions of Army quarterback Trent Steelman, who was focused from before the season ever started on bucking Army's ten-game losing streak to Navy. This was supposed to be the year for the Black Knights, and on Saturday it seemed as though fortune would be with Army in a hard-fought contest between the two service academies. But a botched hand-off to senior running back Larry Dixon resulted in a lost fumble as Army was poised to take a late lead on what would be the defining drive of Steelman's career. Instead it was Navy, once again, celebrating a victory after the final game of college football's regular season,...

The Midshipmen remain committed to joining the unsettled conference for football only, starting in 2015. Navy has been playing football since 1879 without conference affiliation until it made the decision last year to join a Big East - a league that has undergone a massive facelift in 15 months. ''Right now, nothing's changed in terms of our attitude or ambition in terms of joining in `15,'' Athletic Director Chet Gladchuk said Wednesday. ''We're just going to see how it all unfolds.'' Gladchuk was in Philadelphia to promote the 113th Army-Navy game on Dec. 8 at Lincoln Financial Field. The U.S. Naval Academy agreed last year to give up more than 130 years of football independence to join a conference that is in the middle of a massive overhaul. Louisville on Wednesday became the fourth school in 15 months and seventh in the past decade to leave the Big East for the ACC. The Big East also lost Rutgers last week.

Copeland scored on runs of 15 and 16 yards as the Midshipmen (7-4) won for the sixth time in seven games. Shaun Rutherford threw a touchdown pass to Isaiah Battle for the Bobcats (3-7), who dropped their fourth consecutive game. A week after yielding 487 offensive yards in a 41-31 loss at Troy, the Mids' defense surrendered 405 yards but did not allow a touchdown until the fourth quarter. It was Navy's final game before its Dec. 8 battle against Army in Philadelphia, where the winner will claim the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy for football supremacy among U.S. service academies. Gee Gee Greene also ran for a TD for Navy, which amassed 407 yards on the ground. Rutherford completed 25 of 40 passes for 290 yards, but was victimized by a handful of drops. The game's opening drive ended when Navy's Bo Snelson mishandled quarterback Keenan Reynolds' pitch left, ending an al Sat, 17 Nov 2012 19:36:02 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/navy_21_texas_st_10/12238027 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/navy_21_texas_st_10/12238027 Navy 21, Texas St. 10 http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/navy_21_texas_st_10/12238027 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Keenan Reynolds threw three touchdown passes to lead Navy to its second straight victory, 31-13, over Central Michigan Friday night. Reynolds, a freshman who filled in for injured starter Trey Miller and rallied Navy to an overtime victory last week at Air Force, was six of 11 for 139 yards and also ran for 59 yards for the Midshipmen (3-3). Making his first career start, Reynolds became the first Navy quarterback to throw three touchdown passes since Chris McCoy against Colgate in 1997. Navy kept the ball on the ground for most of its first two drives, with Reynolds ending each with scoring passes. He found a wide-open Brandon Turner for a 23-yard strike, and hit Gee Gee Greene with a 19-yarder on an almost identical play later in the first quarter. Reynolds teamed with Greene again on a 41-yard scoring pass in the third quarter. The Midshipmen outgained the Chippewas (2-4) 238-70 on the ground. Noah Copeland ran for 70 yards on 15 carries, and Prentice Christian finished with 64 yards on 13 tries. Central Michigan cut it to 17-10 in the final minute of the first half on Ryan Radcliff's 29-yard touchdown pass to Titus Davis. The Chippewas closed the gap with a field goal early in the second half, but never threatened the rest of the night. Christian answered with his touchdown and, after the Chippewas were forced to punt from their own end zone, Greene effectively ended the game with his second touchdown catch. Radcliff was 11 of 19 for 139 yards and a touchdown before being pulled early in the fourth quarter. Davis caught two passes for 48 yards, including his 13th touchdown catch in 18 career games. The loss was the third straight for the Chippewas. They are 0-3 against Navy.

The ending, however, was all too familiar. VMI forced a turnover on Navy's opening series, then moved deftly the other way for a field goal and a 3-0 lead. Those were the highlights for the Keydets, who never scored again in a 41-3 loss Saturday. VMI fell to 0-9 against the Midshipmen in a lopsided rivalry that began in 1898. ''We played hard, but we just didn't take advantage of the opportunities given us,'' VMI coach Sparky Woods said. ''As the game went on, their offense did what we wanted to stop them from doing. They turned two- to three-yard gains into eight-to-10-yard gains. Plus, we were just not good at sustaining a drive on our offensive end.'' VMI (1-3) has been outscored 88-9 over the last two weeks in losses to Richmond and Navy. Keydets quarterback Eric Korndenbrock hurt his back while being tackled in the first quarter and did not return until VMI's second series after halftime.

In fact, Proctor only threw the ball twice, both being incomplete (he did have one complete pass, but it was to the other team). “I love it,” Proctor joked. “I didn’t complete a pass. I threw a pick. I guess that counts as a completion.” Where Proctor failed in the aerial attack, he more than made up in the ground game. The senior quarterback was the top team rusher amassing 107 yards in 17 attempts.  The team combined for 335 total rushing yards in what was a must win game for Navy. Navy fans shouldn’t be too shocked as it was only a few years ago (2008) that Navy beat SMU without completing a pass. This dramatic win puts Navy (4-6) in a position to become bowl eligible. If Navy can close the season with a win against San Jose State and Army, Navy can punch their ticket to the Military Bowl.
