The talk all season was about Army QB Bryson Daily. On Saturday, Navy quarterback Blake Horvath was the best quarterback on the field.

Horvath rushed for 204 yards and two touchdowns and threw for two more as the Midshipmen downed the Cadets, 31-13.

Credit also goes to the Navy defense, which stopped Daily and the Army ground game. Army came in averaging better than 300 rushing yards per game and was limited to 113 on 30 carries.

Daily had thrown one interception coming into the rivalry game and was picked off twice in front of President-elect Donald J. Trump.

Somehow the ball never hit the ground!

The Middies worked a fake punt to perfection, too.
