Navy quarterback Ricky Dobbs keeps the ball and punches into the endzone from the one-yard line for a touchdown, putting Navy up 16-3 in the fourth quarter. Navy kicker Joe Buckley scored the PAT and put the game away 17-3. That touchdown gave him an NCAA single-season record of 24 rushing touchdowns, breaking the record held by Florida's Tim Tebow.

Navy quarterback Ricky Dobbs punched in Navy’s second touchdown of the afternoon with a 1-yard run. With that touchdown, Dobbs broke the NCAA single season record for touchdowns by a quarterback with 24. He eclipsed Florida quarterback Tim Tebow’s 23 touchdowns in 2007.

The touchdown was set up by Navy linebacker Ross Pospisil, who stripped Army fullback Kingsley Ehie. Navy’s Craig Schaefer recovered the fumble and returned it to Army 11.

That might have been the stake in Army’s upset chances. Looks like the losing streak will extend to eight for Army. The once delirious Corps of Cadets is now standing silent and the Navy Midshipmen can smell the victory.
