Navy Handles South Alabama and Accepts Bowl Bid

Navy outscored South Alabama 22-0 in the second half to break open what was a close first half for a 42-14 win.  The win, Navy's sixth on the season, made them Bowl eligible and the Mids accepted an invitation to play in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl on December 30 in Fort Worth, Texas.  The Mids will play an opponent from the Mountain West Conference.  The bowl game will be Navy's tenth in the last eleven years.

The win was also coach Ken Niumatalolo's 46th victory and moves him to third place in victories at the Naval Academy.  Coach showed his emotional side this afternoon by being flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct during the game and then by getting emotional talking about his seniors at the post game press conference.

Senior Darius Staten led the Mids with 127 yards on just 7 carries and scored a touchdown early in the second quarter when both teams were trading scores.

Keenan Reynolds rushed for 71 yards on the afternoon and scored is 19th rushing touchdown of the season which ties him for the lead in the FBS this season.

Navy's offense racked up 519 total yards in the game and held a tough USA team to just 14 points, their lowest of the year.  Today's game was the third time this season that the Mids amassed over 500 yards of offense.

Navy finished the season undefeated at home, their first undefeated season at home since 2004, and now prepare to travel to San Jose State next Friday to take on the Spartans at 9:30 PM EST (ESPN2).

Navy finishes up the regular season against Army in Philadelphia on December 14.

Navy 27 - South Alabama 14, 3rd Quarter

There was only one score in the third quarter, a 1-yard TD rush by Keenan Reynolds.

Following that TD there were three consecutive three-and-outs.

USA is currently in an 11-play drive and in Navy's end of the field.

Navy 20 - South Alabama 14, Halftime

Navy and their 22 seniors that are playing their final game at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium hold a 20-14 lead over visiting South Alabama.

There have been five lead changes throughout the first half and surprisingly, USA leads in time of possession 15:47 to 14:13.

Darius Staten leads the Mids in rushing with 101 yards on five carries with one TD.

Ross Metheny has been the difference for South Alabama's offense.  Metheny has completed 15 of 18 passes for 139 yards and two TDs to Shavarez Smith.  Metheny also leads the Jags in rushing (7-35).

Navy has yet to punt in the game.

Navy has played four games this season decided by 7 points or less.  In those games they are 2-2. USA has played in seven games decided by 7 or fewer points.  Their record this season is 2-5.
