Navy Wins Armed Forces Bowl
Keenan Reynolds ran for two more touchdowns and Navy won for only the second time its last seven bowl games, beating Middle Tennessee State 24-6 in the Armed Forces Bowl on Monday.
Reynolds had a 3-yard score to cap the opening drive for Navy (9-4), and added a 1-yarder in the fourth quarter. Already with the NCAA record for touchdowns rushing by a quarterback, Reynolds upped his total to 31 to match Colorado State running back Kapri Bibbs, also a sophomore, for the national lead this season.
Middle Tennessee (8-5) was held to a season-low for points. The Blue Raiders finished the regular season with a five-game winning streak, averaging nearly 43 points a game in that stretch.
The Midshipmen overcame two fumbles inside the 20 by Reynolds, their first turnovers in six games, and won their fifth straight game.
Two other bowl games are on the schedule today. Two Texas teams will participate in both of tonight’s bowl games, starting with Texas taking on #10 Oregon in the Alamo Bowl at 4:45 p.m. (MST). Then later on, Texas Tech will play #14 Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl, which will begin at 8:15 p.m. (MST).
