Navy showed a commanding presence in their 34-7 victory over Air Force at Falcon Stadium, where quarterback Blake Horvath amassed 115 rushing yards and two touchdowns, complemented by 134 passing yards. Setting the groundwork early, Horvath's one-yard run concluded an impressive 87-yard drive. Nathan Kent followed with a deceptive 34-yard touchdown sprint. Despite Air Force's response through a 45-yard link between Quentin Hayes and Tre Roberson, Navy reaffirmed control with a sustained 79-yard drive marked by Eli Heidenreich's 25-yard catch that led to another Horvath score.
As the game advanced, Navy's relentless ground attack, delivering 329 rushing yards, further stifled Air Force, with Alex Tecza scoring twice.
