I would just like to say, GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY!

That is all.

fun tidbit about the game, from the Navy side

QuoteIt's a pretty safe bet that Malcolm Perry will be Navy's starting quarterback next season. He's, uh, kind of, sort of earned it.

(snip)

QuoteThe 5-9, 185-pound sophomore could potentially become Navy's biggest star since Keenan Reynolds and emerge as a dark horse Heisman Trophy contender next season. Prior to the final month of this season, he'd been best known as The Guy Who Got Pulled From The Stands To Play Quarterback.

During last season's opener, Perry was a plebe and marched into the stadium along with the rest of the Brigade of Midshipmen, wearing his dress whites. When Navy quarterback Tago Smith went down with a season-ending injury in the middle of the game — and then third-string quarterback Zach Abey was suspended for a violation of team rules — Perry got plucked from the bleachers to dress in (football) uniform as the backup quarterback for the second half. He got into the game late in the third quarter, with Navy up big.

Lewis is leaving Cincy at the end of the season.  I appreciate all that he's done to make them a respectable team again, but he's taken them as far as he can.  Good luck to him on his future endeavors.
