Army vs Navy team news & key players
Army Black Knights team news
Army's ground game remains its trademark, bulldozing opponents with remarkable efficiency. The Black Knights boast a 52.6% rushing success rate (2nd nationally), average 3.20 yards before contact (4th), and rank 3rd in EPA/rush.
Though their passing game is used sparingly, it is devastatingly effective, leading the nation in EPA/dropback, passing explosiveness, and interception rate.
Quarterback Bryson Daily has evolved into a dual-threat powerhouse in 2024, racking up over 1,474 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns while posting a stellar 91.8 PFF grade, good for 6th among all FBS players.
Notably, Daily has surpassed 100 rushing yards against every FBS opponent this season and scored multiple rushing touchdowns in all but one game (FAU).
Navy Midshipmen team news
On the other side, Navy's offense shines with explosiveness, ranking 8th in points per scoring opportunity (4.98), 4th in marginal explosiveness, while running the ball at the second-highest rate in the country.
Defensively, the Midshipmen have been inconsistent, ranking 74th in success rate (42%) and allowing 6.2 plays of 20+ yards per game (62nd). However, their opportunistic defense has forced 20 turnovers, highlighted by a 4.1% interception rate, ranking 10th in FBS.
Quarterback Blake Horvath has been a revelation for Navy, winning the starting job out of fall camp and excelling both in the air and on the ground. Through the season, he has tallied 1,154 passing yards with 11 touchdowns and just four interceptions, while adding 895 rushing yards, 6.7 yards per carry, and 13 rushing touchdowns.
Unfortunately, Horvath was sidelined with an injury in Week 12 against Tulane and missed the Week 14 win over East Carolina, where backup Braxton Woodson stepped up with 17 carries for 122 yards and two touchdowns. Encouragingly for Navy, Horvath is expected to return for this highly anticipated matchup with Army.
