10 photos of patriotism and rivalry from 116th Army-Navy game

The win pushed the Midshipmen’s win streak over Army to 14 games.

The Navy quarterback scored his 85th career rushing touchdown in the second quarter against Navy, becoming the all-time leader in rushing touchdowns in the division.

Navy sacked Carter three times and in the second half appeared to rattle him.

Army got the ball to start the second half, but a Kelvin White chop block penalty set them back and the Navy defense was able to force a three and out.
