| PASSING OFFENSE |
A

Just 4 completions on 6 attempts for 108 yards but the threat of the pass opened up the Mids' rushing attack.

| RUSHING OFFENSE |
A+
|
572 yards rushing on 57 attempts and no fumbles is incredible. A definite A+ for Navy. Shun White and Zerb Singleton both finished with over 100 yards rushing.

Another super effort by the Navy coaching staff. They seem to know how to win; the fact that they are able to do so with such a young, inexperienced defense speaks highly of them

Who needs a defense when you can score 74 points in a game? A simply amazing performance by the Mids. Navy fans will still be talking about this game in a 100 years. Next up is Northern Illinois. Look for the Huskies to open it up through the air.
