Poe also caught five passes for 121 yards, an Army-Navy game record, and had a receiving touchdown. If Reynolds gets two more rushing touchdowns on Saturday, he’ll have the most all time in NCAA Division I, which would get him past running backs Adrian Peterson (the Peterson who went to Georgia Southern from 1998-2001) and Terrance West (Towson, 2011-2013), who both finished their collegiate careers with 84. After a 35 yard pass that got them in Navy territory, Army tried to pull out the double pass only to have it intercepted by Daiquan Thomasson for their third turnover in as many drives.

WHAT WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT: Navy Coach Ken Niumatalolo will visit Brigham Young on Monday to discuss the Cougars’ job opening, making this perhaps his final game with the Midshipmen. The Black Knights marched to the Navy 39 trailing by four with two minutes left to play.
Pro football isn’t in the immediate future for Reynolds, who must serve out his military commitment after Navy faces Pitt on December 28 in the Military Bowl.
Niumatalolo fulfills at least one of the major requirements of being the head coach at BYU – he’s an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The most recent game (the 115th) in the series was held at M&T Bank Stadium in Maryland, on December 13, 2014. “He’s been a good football player on the field, but off the field he’s been a great leader for the team”.
Reynolds set the all-time rivalry scoring mark, adding to a long list of record-book rewrites during his career. Beating Army has become an annual tradition for Navy. Army out-gained Navy 345 to 312.
Get ready for the big rivalry game today between Army and Navy.
