Navy Midshipmen vs Oklahoma Sooners team news & key players
Navy Midshipmen team news
For Navy, Blake Horvath has been the linchpin of the offense. Though the Midshipmen rely more on the run, Horvath has completed 73 of 127 passes for 1,261 yards and 13 touchdowns, with four interceptions and eight sacks. On the ground, he’s been electric, carrying the ball 158 times for 1,099 yards and 15 touchdowns.
The receiving corps is led by Eli Heidenreich, who has pulled in 37 receptions for 649 yards and six touchdowns while adding 421 rushing yards and three scores. Brandon Chatman has made his presence felt with 16 catches for 245 yards and four touchdowns, plus 250 rushing yards and three additional scores.

Oklahoma Sooners team news
The Sooners are undergoing changes at quarterback following Jackson Arnold's entry into the transfer portal, leaving Michael Hawkins Jr. as the starter.
Hawkins completed 48 of his 77 pass attempts this season for 536 yards, registering one touchdown and two interceptions. The Sooners' passing game will also be shorthanded, as receivers Bauer Sharp, JJ Hester, and Brenen Thompson have also entered the portal. That puts the onus on Deion Burks, who tallied 31 catches for 245 yards and three touchdowns, and Jacob Jordan, who added 22 receptions for 207 yards and a single score.
In the ground game, Jovante Barnes led Oklahoma with 577 yards and five touchdowns but hasn’t seen action since Week 10. If he's unavailable, the load will likely fall on Taylor Tatum, who contributed 272 rushing yards and three scores, along with Xavier Robinson, who chipped in with 212 yards and four touchdowns.
