For the first time since 2019, the Navy Midshipmen won a bowl game, as they defeated the Oklahoma Sooners, 21-20, in the Armed Forces Bowl on Friday. The Midshipmen (10-3) hadn’t played in a bowl game since that 2019 Liberty Bowl.

Blake Horvath set a Navy record with a 95-yard touchdown run and scored a go-ahead 6-yarder with 4:34 left as the Midshipmen overcame an early two-touchdown deficit and stopped a late 2-point conversion attempt to beat Oklahoma 21-20 in the Armed Forces Bowl.

On the first play after Blake Horvath’s 95-yard touchdown run, OU quarterback Michael Hawkins fumbled, giving the Midshipmen the ball at the Sooners 26. It was the first turnover of the day for either team. Blake Horvath’s 95-yard touchdown run tied it late in the third quarter.
