Before the Black Knight’s win in 2016 in a 21-17 win, Army had not won in the series since December 1st, 2001 in a 26-17 win in Philadelphia.
The Black Knights season will come to an end following this game. Army brings a 5-7 record into the contest.
The Midshipmen currently has a 9-2 record. They will also play in the upcoming Bowl season, as Navy will face the Kansas State Wildcats in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl on Tuesday, December 31st at 3:45 pm on ESPN.
“Going to a bowl game is always one of our top goals, but right now our only focus is to get goal number one and that is to beat Army and win back the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy,” Midshipmen head coach Ken Niumatalolo said.
Black Knights quarterback Kelvin Hopkins Jr. has gone 32 of 75 for 570 yards. He also has four touchdown passes and five interceptions.
Hopkins Jr. has 137 carries for 706 yards and seven touchdowns. Camden Harris has 23 receptions for 415 yards and three touchdowns.
“It’s hard to believe that those guys are already getting ready to graduate and be commissioned as officers in the United States Army. But, they are a class that’s really developed,” Army head coach Jeff Monken said following the team’s 47-6 rout of VMI on Nov. 16. “A lot of these guys have played a ton of football for us and that led to a lot of the success we’ve had here over the last few years.”
