There are very few games on the college football schedule that mean as much as the Army-Navy game. It is always the last game of the schedule for the season and this year is no different as the two teams get together to play on Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field. Navy comes into the game with a 9-2 record on the season while Army is struggling with a 2-9 record. No matter what the records are however, this is a game that is a must-see every single year.
Navy has had some time off since losing 52-31 to Houston on November 27 in their American Athletic Conference finale. Keenan Reynolds has been a Heisman Trophy candidate all season long and while he won’t be in New York for the ceremony himself, he has still been a dynamic player. Reynolds has thrown for 964 yards, six touchdowns and an interception while rushing for 1,093 yards and 19 touchdowns as a true option quarterback. When Reynolds does throw though, it is normally in the direction of Jamir Tillman. Tillman has 22 catches for 468 yards and four touchdowns.
Army has had even more time off since their last game and has lost four straight including a 31-21 loss to Rutgers on November 21. Chris Carter was the quarterback for the team’s last game in his only appearance on the year, going 4-for-6 for 140 yards, a touchdown and an interception while rushing for 111 yards and another score. Aaron Kemper is leading the team with 506 yards and three touchdowns rushing. When Army quarterbacks do throw, Edgar Poe has been the big play receiver with 11 catches for 320 yards and five touchdowns.
