The Mids (9-4) already have a postseason date against Missouri in the TexasBowl on Dec. 31.

Ricky Dobbs ran for a score to set an NCAA single-season record for rushingtouchdowns by a quarterback with 24, and threw for a TD to help Navy improve to54-49-7 overall against Army for its biggest lead in a series that began in1890.

Navy won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, awarded annually to the team withthe best record in games between the three service academies, for aschool-record seventh straight year.

Army (5-7) would have played in the EagleBank Bowl with a win. That matchupis now Temple vs. UCLA.
