Mids Set For Spring Practice
• Spring practice starts on Monday, March 28 at 3:45 p.m. and will take place every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for the first three weeks and Tuesday, Thursday and Friday the final week. • All practices will take place at the Naval Academy except for the Blue & Gold game on Friday, April 22 (7:00 p.m.). • A full practice schedule is available on the front cover of the spring prospectus. Practice times and dates are subject to change depending on the weather.
Setting the Stage For 2011
• The Mids return 29 of the 34 players listed on the final 2010 offensive depth chart, including eight starters - left guard Josh Cabral, center Brady DeMell, right guard John Dowd, right tackle Ryan Basford, wide receiver Brandon Turner, slot back Aaron Santiago, slot back Gee Gee Greene and fullback Alexander Teich. • Navy returns 24 of the 33 players listed on the final 2010 defensive depth chart, including three starters - defensive end Jabaree Tuani, linebacker Max Blue and corner Kwesi Mitchell. • Eleven of the Mids’ 13 specialists listed on the final 2010 depth chart will return, including five starters - kicker Jon Teague, long snapper Brian Ackerman, holder Justin Haan, punt returner Gary Myers and kick returner Marcus Thomas. • Navy returns four of its top-six rushers (Teich, Greene, quarterback Kriss Proctor and Santiago) and six of its top-seven receivers (Greene, Santiago, Teich, Turner, wide receiver Doug Furman and slot back John Howell). • The Mids return just two of their top-six tacklers (Tuani and Blue).
Jabaree Tuani and Alexander Teich Elected 2011 Team Captains
• Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo announced that fullback Alexander Teich and defensive end Jabaree Tuani have been elected team captains for the 2011 football season by their teammates. • "Being elected team captain at the Naval Academy is one of the greatest honors you can receive at an institution that produces great leaders and I'm confident that Alex and Jabaree will be up to the task," said Niumatalolo. "I expect them to provide great leadership on the field, in the classroom and in Bancroft Hall." • Teich rushed for 863 yards and five touchdowns on 147 carries and caught seven passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the fall in helping lead Navy to a 9-4 record and a berth in the Poinsettia Bowl. He had one of the greatest performances in school history against Notre Dame, rushing for 210 yards on 26 carries and catching a 31-yard touchdown off a screen pass that saw him leap over two Irish defenders at the goal line. The 210 yards rushing was the most by a Navy player against Notre Dame in series history and marked the first time in school history that a fullback rushed for more than 200 yards in a game. Teich also had a huge day in Navy's 76-35 rout of East Carolina as he rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown on just 14 carries against the Pirates. He has rushed for 1,263 yards and five touchdowns and caught 11 passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns in his career. • Tuani has been a three-year starter for the Mids and is coming off his best year yet, leading all defensive linemen with 72 tackles, recording a team-high 15.5 tackles for a loss and finishing second on the team in sacks with 5.5. His 15.5 tackles for a loss are the ninth most in school history for a single season, while his 30 career tackles for a loss stands sixth. Tuani's 10.5 career sacks are the fifth most in school history. He has recorded 168 tackles, 10.5 sacks and 30 tackles for a loss in his career.
Navy Finishes 36th In Final Associated Press Poll
• The Navy football team received three points in the final Associated Press college football poll (Jan. 11), placing the Mids 36th in the country. • Cecil Hurt of the Tuscaloosa News ranked the Mids 23rd in the country to account for all of Navy's voting points. • Maryland, who finished 23rd in the final AP poll, was the only Navy opponent that finished in the Top 25. • San Diego State (28th), Notre Dame (33rd) and Air Force (35th) also received votes. • Notre Dame finished ahead of Navy despite finishing with a worse record (8-5) and losing to Navy, 35-17, head-to-head.
Nine Wins Tied For The Fourth Most In School HIstory
FedExField, home of the NFL’s Washington Redskins, will play host to the 2011 Army-Navy Game, presented by USAA, on Dec. 10.
• Last year marked just the 13th time in 129 years that Navy has won nine or more games in a season. It is the fourth time in the last seven seasons that Navy has accomplished that feat. • Navy’s nine wins in 2010 are tied for the fourth most in school history. • The record is 10 wins set in 1905 and equalled in 2004 and 2009. • The Mids also won nine game in 1907, 1908, 1926, 1957, 1960, 1963, 1978, 1996 and 2006.
Navy Announces 2011 Schedule
• Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk announced Navy’s 2011 football schedule, which will include five games at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium as well as the annual Army-Navy game that will be played at FedExField in Landover, Md. • Navy will battle eight teams that played in a bowl game in 2010 and a Delaware team that played for the FCS National Championship against Eastern Washington. • Navy kicks off the 2011 campaign against Delaware on Sept. 3 before hitting the road for games at Western Kentucky on Sept. 10 and at South Carolina on Sept. 17. South Carolina finished the 2010 season with a 9-5 record and played Auburn in the SEC Championship game. One of the biggest wins in school history came against South Carolina in 1984 when the Mids upset the No. 2 Gamecocks, 38-21, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. • The Mids will take a week off before playing host to Service Academy rival Air Force (Oct. 1) and Southern Miss (Oct. 8). The game against the Falcons is the first leg in the battle for the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, while the game against the Golden Eagles will mark the first meeting between the two programs. • Navy travels to Rutgers on Oct. 15 in what will be the first meeting between the two schools since the Mids won a thriller, 23-21, in 2008. The Mids return home to play host to East Carolina on Oct. 22 for Homecoming. Navy scored a modern day-record 76 points in a 76-35 victory over East Carolina this past fall. Closing out the month of October will be a trip to South Bend (Oct. 29) where the Mids will be looking to win three-straight over Notre Dame for the first time in school history. • Navy will play its final home game of the year on Nov. 5 when the Mids play host to Troy in the first meeting between the two schools. The Mids then hit the road for games at SMU (Nov. 12) and San Jose State (Nov. 19) before closing the regular season against Army on Dec. 10 at FedExField. If the Mids reach six wins, they will play an opponent from the ACC in the Military Bowl (date TBA).

Niumatalolo Making History
• Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo is just the second coach since World War II to lead Navy to a winning record in his first three years at the helm, joining Wayne Hardin (5-4-1 in 1959, 9-2 in 1960 and 7-3 in 1961) on the exclusive list. • He joins Eddie Erdelatz and Wayne Hardin as the only coaches in school history to beat Notre Dame in back-to-back years. • He is the only coach in school history to lead Navy to a bowl game in each of his first three seasons. • His 27 wins are the most in school history in the first three years of a career. • He is just the sixth coach in school history to win his first three games against Army. Paul Johnson went 6-0 against Army (2002-07), Wayne Hardin won his first five games (195963), George Welsh won his first four contests (1973-76), Eddie Erdelatz won his first three games against Army (1950-52) and Swede Larson won all three of his games against Army (1939-41). • His 18 wins in his first two years are the most wins in school history in the first two years at Navy. • His eight wins in his first year are tied for the fourth-most in school history for a coach in his first season and the most for a Navy coach in his debut season since Tom Hamilton won eight in 1934. • In 2009, Niumatalolo was the first coach to lead an unranked Navy squad over a ranked Notre Dame squad since 1936 (which was the first year of the polls) when Tom Hamilton led Navy to a 3-0 victory over Notre Dame. • He is the first head coach in Service Academy history to win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy in each of his first two years. • Niumatalolo is the first Samoan head football coach on the collegiate level and the second Polynesian head coach in FBS history (Larry Price, who was the head coach at Hawai'i from 1974-76 was the first).

Proctor Has Big Day
Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium, home of the NFL’s Ravens, will play host to the Army-Navy Game, presented by USAA, in 2014 and 2016.
Philadelphia, Baltimore And Washington D.C. Awarded Future Army-Navy Football Games
• The city of Philadelphia has been synonymous with the Army-Navy football classic over the years, hosting 82 of the previous 111 service academy battles. Army and Navy will be building on that rich tradition in the years ahead with Philadelphia serving as the host of "America’s Game" four of the next seven years at Lincoln Financial Field (2012, 2013, 2015, 2017). • It was also announced that for the first time in series history the game will be played on the doorstep of the nation’s capital as the 2011 Army-Navy game will be played at FedEx Field, while the 2014 and 2016 games will be played at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium. • The process for securing a long-term home for future Army-Navy football games officially began in August of 2008 with the service academies distributing a formal "Request for Proposal.” • The academies accepted bids from prospective host cities through the middle of November with site visits conducted during the months of February, March and April. • The first Army-Navy game was played in 1890 at West Point and the second in Annapolis one year later. In 1899, Philadelphia's Franklin Field became the game site. The "City of Brotherly Love" has dominated as host city for the Army-Navy game since that time. There have been 14 different venues that have played host to the event, four of those located in Philadelphia and two in Baltimore. • Municipal Stadium, renamed John F. Kennedy Stadium in 1964, has housed the game the most times - 41 in all – that included 35 straight games between 1945 and 1979. It was first played there in 1936. • Franklin Field ranks second on the list of Army-Navy game sites with its total of 18, followed by Veterans Stadium with 17 and the Polo Grounds in New York City with nine. "The Vet" first hosted the game in 1980 and did so through 2001 with all but five exceptions. • Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia has hosted the game seven times (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010). • Army has also battled Navy at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., in 1983; at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., in 1989, 1993, 1997 and 2002; and at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore in 2000 and 2007. • For the 16th-straight year, CBS Sports will televise the Army-Navy Classic to a national and worldwide (via American Forces Network) audience on Saturday, Dec. 10, 2011. The ArmyNavy game will be the only major college football game played the second Saturday in December.
• Making just his third-career start, quarterback Kriss Proctor rushed for 201 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in Navy’s 38-37 victory over Central Michigan. • The 201 yards rushing are tied as the eighth most by a quarterback in school history and the most since Ricky Dobbs rushed for 224 yards against SMU in 2008. • He is the 19th different quarterback to rush for 100 yards in school history and just the sixth different quarterback to rush for 200 yards in a game. • Proctor and Alexander Teich, who rushed for 210 yards on 26 carries in Navy’s win over Notre Dame, became the first duo in school history to rush for over 200 yards in the same season.

KEN NIUMATALOLO HEAD COACH
In just three seasons at the helm of the Navy football program, head coach Ken Niumatalolo is accomplishing things that have never been done in the 129-year history of the program.
Niumatalolo’s 27 wins are the most wins in school history by a coach in his first three years, while Navy’s 10 wins in 2009 are tied for the most wins in school history. He is the first coach in school history to lead Navy to a bowl game in each of his first three seasons and is the first Service Academy coach to win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy in his first two years as a head coach. Niumatalolo is just the second coach since World War II to lead Navy to a winning record in each of his first three seasons at the helm and joins Eddie Erdelatz and Wayne Hardin as the only Navy coaches to beat Notre Dame in consecutive seasons.
The Mids posted an impressive 9-4 record in 2010, defeated Army for a series record ninth-consecutive time, defeated Notre Dame in consecutive seasons for only the third time in school history and appeared in a school record eighthconsecutive bowl game.
The 2009 season was one to remember for the Midshipmen, as Navy tied a school record for wins with 10, won a school-record seventh-consecutive Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a seventh-consecutive bowl game, beat Notre Dame in South Bend for the second-straight time and ran their winning streak against the other two Service Academies to an amazing 15-straight games. The Mids capped the season off with a 35-13 rout of Missouri in the Texas Bowl. In 2008, Niumatalolo became the first coach to lead Navy to a bowl game in his inaugural season and, thanks to a 33-27 victory over Air Force and a 34-0 win over Army, he became just the second Service Academy coach to win the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy in his first year. Niumatalolo led the Midshipmen to an 8-5 record, the most wins for a firstyear coach at Navy since 1934. Included in those eight wins was a 24-17 victory over 16th-ranked Wake Forest, which was Navy’s first win over a team ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 since 1985. Navy also beat teams currently in the BCS in backto-back weeks (Rutgers and Wake Forest) for the first time since 1981 and defeated a program-record four bowl teams. Niumatalolo, who turns 45 on May 8, was promoted to head football coach at the Naval Academy on Dec. 8, 2007, by Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk.
He is the second Polynesian head coach in Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history and the first Samoan collegiate head coach on any level.
contest), went to a bowl game for a third-straight year, won a secondstraight bowl game and won the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy.
In 2004, Niumatalolo's efforts helped an offensive line that was hampered by injuries all year to perform well enough for the Midshipmen to finish third in the country in rushing (289.5), win a school-record tying 10 games (the most wins since 1905), go to back-to-back bowl games for the second time in school history, win the Emerald Bowl and win the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy. Despite a lack of experience up front, the Mids led the nation in rushing (323.2 yards per contest) in 2003 and set seven school records as Navy went 8-5, won the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy and earned a berth in the Houston Bowl.
In 2002, the Navy offensive line helped the Mids to the third-best rushing average in the country (270.75). Niumatalolo was also an assistant at Navy from 1995-98, serving as the offensive coordinator in 1997 and 1998.
As the offensive coordinator, Niumatalolo tutored Chris McCoy, who set the then-NCAA record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a season with 20 in 1997 and became just the 10th player in NCAA history to rush for more than 1,000 yards and pass for more than 1,000 yards in the same season. In addition, Navy finished among the nation's top five in rushing his last-two years and broke 38 school offensive records during his tenure. Niumatalolo coached at UNLV for three seasons (1999-01) and called the plays his final year (2001) in Vegas. He also worked with the kickoff return unit and, under his guidance, UNLV ranked sixth in the nation in kickoff returns in 2001 and finished second in 1999. A 1989 graduate of Hawai'i, Niumatalolo lettered three years as a quarterback and was a part of Hawaii’s first bowl team in 1989. He was hired as a fulltime assistant by his alma mater in 1992 and spent three seasons coaching on the offensive side of the ball.
A native of Laie', Hawai'i, Niumatalolo and his wife, Barbara, have three children, Alexcia, who attends BYU-Hawai’i in Niumatalolo’s hometown, Va'a, who will be a preferred walkon in the fall at BYU as a linebacker, and Ali'i .
Prior to being named head coach, Niumatalolo had two coaching stints at the Naval Academy for a combined 10 seasons, including the last six where he served as assistant head coach and offensive line coach. Niumatalolo and the majority of his coaching staff have been part of a staff that has brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight over the last eight seasons. During that time, Navy has made a school-record eight-consecutive bowl game appearances, won seven-consecutive Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies, earned 15consecutive wins over the other two Service Academies and claimed an NCAA-record four-consecutive NCAA rushing titles.
In 2007, with Niumatalolo as the Assistant Head Coach, he saw the Mids post an 8-5 record, win the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, appear in a fifth-straight bowl game (Poinsettia Bowl, which was Niumatalolo's first game as a head coach), set a school record for rushing (348.8 yards per contest) and defeat Notre Dame for the first time since 1963. In 2006, Navy averaged a then school-record 327.0 yards per contest, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy and participated in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. One of Niumatalolo's pupils, Antron Harper, was named to the ESPN.Com All-Bowl Team for the second-straight year. In 2005, Niumatalolo helped develop an offensive line that, despite having just one returning starter, paved the way for the nation's best rushing offense (318.7 yards per

Buddy Green is entering his 10th season as the defensive coordinator at the Naval Academy. He has been an integral part of a staff that has brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight with a 70-33 (.680) record over the last eight years. He was nominated for the Frank Broyles Award, which is awarded to the national assistant coach of the year, in 2008 and 2009.
The Mids posted an impressive 9-4 record in 2010, defeated Army for a series record ninth-consecutive time, defeated Notre Dame in consecutive seasons for only the third time in school history and appeared in a school record eighth-consecutive bowl game. The Mids gave up just 23.3 points per game, which was the 46th best scoring defense in the country. Safety Wyatt Middleton recovered five fumbles, which tied for most in the country. He returned one of those fumbles 98 yards for a touchdown against Army. It was the longest fumble return in school and Army-Navy history.
The 2009 season was one to remember, as the Mids tied a school record for wins with 10, won a school-record seventh-consecutive Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a seventh-consecutive bowl game and ran its winning streak against the other two Service Academies to an amazing 15-straight games. The Mids capped the season off with a 3513 rout of Missouri in the Texas Bowl thanks in part to Green’s 2-4-5 defensive alignment that flummoxed the Missouri offense. The defense finished 18th in the country in scoring defense (19.4 points per game) and sixth in red zone defense. Safety Wyatt Middleton was named First-Team All-East.
The Mids posted an 8-5 record in 2008 and participated in the EagleBank Bowl. The Mids won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy thanks to a 33-27 victory over Air Force and a 340 win over Army. Other landmark wins during the 2008 season included a 24-17 victory over 16th-ranked Wake Forest, which was Navy’s first win over a team ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 since 1985, as well as Navy’s victory the previous week over Rutgers. It was the first time since 1981 that Navy beat teams currently in the BCS in back-to-back weeks. Navy also defeated a program-record four bowl teams. The Mids sported the most improved scoring defense in the country, giving up just 22.0 points per game which was a 14.4 point per game improvement from 2007.
BUDDY GREEN DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
In 2004, Green's efforts helped Navy finish 26th in the country in scoring defense (19.83), win a school-record tying 10 games (the most wins since 1905), go to back-to-back bowl games, win the Emerald Bowl and win the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy. Green was a nominee for the Frank Broyles Award, which is given to the national assistant coach of the year. In 2003, Green's defense finished 14th in the nation in pass defense (61st the year before), 42nd in pass efficiency defense (116th the year before), 34th in total defense (100th the year before) and 34th in scoring defense (108th the year before) as he helped lead Navy to eight wins, the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy and a berth in the Houston Bowl. In Green's first season as Navy's defensive coordinator, the Mids were devastated by injuries at nearly every position. Green, however, kept the unit together and the Mids played their best at the end of the year and held Army to just 12 points in the season finale.
Green is a 1976 graduate of N.C. State where he earned his B.A. in speech communication. A two-sport athlete for the Wolfpack, he played football and baseball. He played on two ACC Championship teams in baseball and was a member of Lou Holtz's 1972 Peach Bowl squad. Green earned his first collegiate coaching job in 1979 as a graduate assistant at N.C. State, a year the Wolfpack won the ACC Championship.
The following year, Green moved on to a coaching post at LSU for one season. In 1981, he earned his first coordinator job, serving as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Southern University from 1981-82. He took his first head coaching job at Northern Nash High School in North Carolina for one season where he was also the Director of Athletics. Green got back into the college ranks at VMI as the secondary coach in 1983 and moved on to Auburn where he helped lead the Tigers to the 1985 Cotton Bowl.
The 2007 season was also a memorable one as the Midshipmen posted an 8-5 record, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a fifth-straight bowl game, and defeated Notre Dame for the first time since 1963. Safety Ketric Buffin became the first player in school history to intercept a pass in each of the first four games of the season.
He returned to his alma mater in 1986 where he was the secondary coach for eight years and the defensive coordinator for four of those seasons (1990-93). While at N.C. State, he helped lead the Pack to six bowl games. Green left N.C. State in 1994 to become the head coach at Tennessee-Chattanooga, where he coached for six seasons and was also the Director of Athletics for two years. In 1997, Green led his Chattanooga squad to a I-AA national ranking and its first winning record in six years. He also helped develop one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, Terrell Owens.
Green's defense was stout in 2006, giving up just 116.7 yards per game (38th in the country) on the ground and, more importantly, 20.1 points per game (41st in the country).
Green returned to Raleigh in 2000 and took over one of the worst defenses in the ACC. By the time he left, they were ranked in the Top 25 in scoring defense and were at or near the top in every defensive category.
In 2005, Green did a remarkable job with a defense that returned just three starters from the year before as the Mids ranked 62nd in total defense (377.3) and scoring defense (26.1) as the Mids appeared in a thirdstraight bowl game, won a second-straight bowl game and won a third-straight Commander-In-Chief's Trophy.
Green and his wife, Sharon, have two children, Todd, who is the assistant video coordinator at the Naval Academy, and Courtney.

IVIN JASPER OFFENSIVER COORDINATOR / QUARTERBACKS Ivin Jasper is entering his 12th year at the Naval Academy, his 10th as the quarterbacks coach and his fourth as the offensive coordinator. Jasper has been instrumental to Navy’s success with his development of quarterbacks Craig Candeto, Aaron Polanco, Lamar Owens, Brian Hampton, Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada, Jarod Bryant, Ricky Dobbs and Kriss Proctor. Jasper has been part of a coaching staff that has brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight with a 70-33 (.680) record over the last eight years. Additionally, his work has catapulted Navy to No. 1 in the nation in rushing in five of the last eight seasons, including an NCAA record four-straight years from 2005-08.
The Mids posted an impressive 9-4 record in 2010, defeated Army for a series record ninth-consecutive time, defeated Notre Dame in consecutive seasons for only the third time in school history and appeared in a school record eighth-consecutive bowl game. The Mids finished sixth in the country in rushing offense (284.8) and ninth in the country in passing efficiency (156.7). Quarterback Ricky Dobbs finished his career fourth in NCAA history for career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (49), first in school history for rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns (49), tied for fifth in schol history in career passing touchdowns (20), fifth in school history for career rushing yards (2,665), eighth in school history for career passing yards (2,770), first in school history for career points (296), first in cschool history in career points responsible for (410), second in school history in career passing yards per attempt (10.2) and tied for fourth in school history for career 100-yard rushing games (13). The 2009 season was one to remember, as the Mids tied a school record for wins with 10, won a school-record seventh-consecutive Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a school-record seventh-consecutive bowl game and ran its winning streak against the other two Service Academies to an amazing 15- straight games. The Mids capped the season off with a 35-13 rout of Missouri in the Texas Bowl. The offense finished fourth in the country in rushing, averaging 280.5 yards per game. Quarterback Ricky Dobbs set an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with 27 despite missing two games and playing half the year with a cracked kneecap.
In 2006, Navy became just the fifth school in NCAA history to go to four or more consecutive bowl games with a different quarterback each year and the coaching and teaching by Jasper is a big part of that success. Navy's quarterbacks in 2006, Brian Hampton and Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada, directed an offense that led the nation in rushing, averaging a schoolrecord 327.0 yards per contest.
In 2005, Owens helped lead Navy to the national rushing title (318.7 yards per game) as the Mids went 8-4, won the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy and won a bowl game in consecutive years (beat Colorado State, 51-30) for the first time in school history. Owens was named All-East as he rushed for 880 yards and threw for 1,229 yards, breaking four school records for total offense and passing yards per attempt and completion.
In 2004, Jasper's efforts helped Polanco perform well enough for the Midshipmen to finish third in the country in rushing (289.5), win a schoolrecord tying 10 games (the most wins since 1905), win the Emerald Bowl and claim the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy.
In 2003, despite a lack of experience up front, the Mids led the nation in rushing and set school records for rushing yards per game, total rushing yards, rushing yards per attempt, rushing touchdowns, total offense, total offense per game and yards per play as Navy went 8-5, won the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy and earned a berth in the Houston Bowl. In 2002, Navy had the third-best rushing average in the country (270.75) and scored 30 or more points on four occasions. Jasper came to Navy from Georgia Southern where he served as the quarterbacks and fullbacks coach for three years and helped lead the Eagles to a 38-6 record and back-toback NCAA Division I-AA National Championships in 1999 and 2000.
In addition to directing the efforts of four-time All-America fullback Adrian Peterson, Jasper also nurtured the growth and confidence of quarterback J.R. Revere, who became the school's first signal-caller to lead Georgia Southern to a national title in his initial year as a starter.
The Mids posted an 8-5 record in 2008 and participated in the EagleBank Bowl. The Mids won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy thanks to a 33-27 victory over Air Force and a 34-0 win over Army. Other landmark wins during the 2008 season included a 24-17 victory over 16th-ranked Wake Forest, which was Navy’s first win over a team ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 since 1985, as well as Navy’s victory the previous week over Rutgers. It was the first time since 1981 that Navy beat teams currently in the BCS in back-to-back weeks. Navy also defeated a program-record four bowl teams.
Before assuming the offensive coordinator's position at the Naval Academy Prep School in Newport, R.I., in 1997, Jasper spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Navy in 1995 and `96, handling the quarterbacks, fullbacks and slot backs. Jasper is a 1994 graduate of the University of Hawai'i where he earned his bachelor's degree in sociology/criminology. He was a three-year letterman for the Rainbow Warriors (1991-93) at quarterback and slot back, where he helped lead Hawai'i to a Western Athletic Conference title.
Jasper’s ability to get three different quarterbacks ready to play each week (Jarod Bryant, Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada and Ricky Dobbs) was a big part of Navy’s success in 2008 as the offense didn’t miss a beat.
A native of Los Angeles, Jasper and his wife, Donna, are the parents of a daughter, Dallas, and sons, Jaylen and Jarren.
The 2007 season was a memorable one as well as the Midshipmen posted an 8-5 record, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a school-record fifthstraight bowl game, became the first team in NCAA history to lead the nation in rushing three-consecutive years (rushing for a school-record 348.8 yards per contest) and defeated Notre Dame for the first time since 1963.
32
Prior to his appointment at Georgia Southern in January 1999, Jasper served as offensive coordinator at Indiana State during the 1998 season. As quarterbacks and fullbacks coach, he helped ISU turn in a 5-6 overall record, an improvement from a three-win season in 1997.

The 2007 season was a memorable one as well as the Midshipmen posted an 8-5 record, won a fifth-consecutive Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, appeared in a fifth-straight bowl game, and defeated Notre Dame for the first time since 1963. The Mids received solid contributions from the defensive line in 2006 as the Mids won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy and played in a fourth-straight bowl game.
Pehrson was part of a staff that did a remarkable job in 2005 with a defense that returned just three starters from the year before. The Mids ranked 62nd in total defense (377.3) and scoring defense (26.1), while they won a second-straight bowl game and a third-straight Commander-In-Chief's Trophy. In 2004, Pehrson's efforts helped Navy finish 26th in the country in scoring defense (19.83), win a school-record tying 10 games (the most wins since 1905), win the Emerald Bowl and win the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy.
In 2003, Pehrson was part of a defensive staff that saw great improvement on the defensive side of the football as the Mids finished 14th in the nation in pass defense, 42nd in pass efficiency defense, 34th in total defense and 34th in scoring defense. In 1999, Pehrson helped develop a defensive line into a big-play unit, recording 17 sacks and recovering six fumbles. Defensive end Gino Marchetti recovered a nation's-best five fumbles. In 1997, Pehrson's troops contributed to the Mids ranking sixth in the country in turnover margin, as the safeties came up with 11 of Navy's 14 interceptions. Free safety Gervy Alota was named All-East, while strong safety Rashad Smith played in the Blue/Gray AllStar Game. Pehrson came to the Naval Academy from Southern Utah, where he was an assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for five years.
Prior to his tenure at Southern Utah, Pehrson was on the staff at Missouri Western State College, where he served in various capacities, including assistant head coach, defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator and special teams coordinator. He was head football coach and an assistant coach in wrestling and track at Murray High School in Salt Lake City. Pehrson is a native of Salt Lake City and earned all-state honors at Murray High School. He attended Utah where he was a two-year letterman as a defensive back. Pehrson earned his bachelor's degree in English from Utah in 1976 and received a master's degree from Brigham Young in 1985. He and his wife, the former Marty Grant, have two children, Preston and Jaci. Preston is serving as an intern on the football staff at Georgia Tech.

JOHN MCGUIRE VIDEO COORDINATOR
John McGuire enters his 16th year as Navy's Director of Video Operations. Since coming to the Naval Academy in 1996, he has overseen the growth of the Ricketts Hall video department to its present standing as one of the best in collegiate athletics.
In 2004, McGuire helped with the renovation of the football offices and meeting rooms to insure their compatibility with the latest state-of-the-art digital and computer technology. Coaches and players can gain instant access to the information most important in preparing for the opponent each week. The capabilities of the system networked throughout the building allow meeting and film study time to be used in an extremely efficient manner with minimal waste during an always busy day. The addition and continual upgrade of this system assures Navy football of being technologically compatible well into the new century.
In the spring of 2009 a new editing system, DVSport, was installed in both the football and men’s lacrosse offices. This system’s capabilities allow even more latitude for the coaches and players to make the most efficient use of their time. Laptop technology allows video to be viewed and studied at the office, on the road or at home. While keeping in step with the latest advances, the video department is also working to preserve Navy's rich athletic past. Football films from as far back as the 1926 Army-Navy game in Chicago have recently been transferred to a video format and are part of the Captain Asbury "Red" Coward Video Archives Library located on the second deck of Ricketts Hall. This library provides a window to Navy's athletic heroes from many sports.
A native of Philadelphia, McGuire is a 1978 graduate of Villanova, where he earned a bachelor's degree in marketing. He came to the Naval Academy from Rutgers, where he served as Director of Video Operations for four years. While at Rutgers, McGuire was instrumental in the development of the state-of-the-art integrated video system installed in Rutgers’ new stadium, constructed in 1994. Prior to Rutgers, McGuire worked for Tucker Sport Films of Philadelphia for 15 years. During this period, he became the Film Coordinator for the Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars of the United States Football League.

GAME 2 >> NAVY 13, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 7
SEPT. 6, 2010 | BALTIMORE, MD. | M&T BANK STADIUM | 69,348
SEPT. 11, 2010 | ANNAPOLIS, MD. | NAVY-MARINE CORPS STADIUM | 33,391
• The Maryland defense held Navy scoreless in five of the Mids’ seven trips inside the red zone to help lead the Terps to a 17-14 victory in front of 69,348 at M&T Bank Stadium in the season opener for both teams. • The Navy defense was shaky at the start, allowing Maryland to rush for 139 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries in the first quarter, but buckled down and held the Terps to just 133 yards over the final three quarters. • After Da’Rel Scott gave Maryland a 7-0 lead with a five-yard touchdown run on Maryland’s opening possession, the Mids moved down the field and had the ball first-and-10 at the Maryland 14-yard line. However sophomore slot back Gee Gee Greene was tackled for a two-yard gain, senior fullback Vince Murray was stopped for one yard and senior quarterback Ricky Dobbs was sacked for a loss of four yards. Navy came away with no points when senior kicker Joe Buckley saw his 32-yard field goal bounce off the left upright. • Maryland quickly answered with a five-play, 80-yard drive that was set up by a 67-yard run by Davin Meggett with Meggett capping off the drive with a three-yard touchdown run. • Navy got on the board early in the second quarter when senior slot back Andre Byrd took a pitch from Dobbs and ran around the left end for a 10-yard TD, the first of his career. • Senior safety Emmett Merchant picked off a pass on Maryland’s next series and the Mids marched 63 yards on 17 plays. On third-and-goal from the one, Maryland’s Adrian Moten leaped over the Navy offensive line and hit Dobbs, causing him to fumble. • After the Navy defense forced Maryland to go three-and-out, Navy took over at its own 32-yard line and moved the ball down to the Maryland seven with 12 seconds left. With no timeouts remaining, the Mids called for a roll out where Dobbs was supposed to throw the ball in the end zone or out of bounds. Dobbs was heavily pressured and was forced to pull the ball down and try to run for a touchdown. He was tackled at the two-yard line as the clock expired. • It was more of the same for the Navy offense to start the second half as the Mids went 59 yards on 13 plays, but came away with no points when Dobbs was hit by Maryland’s Kenny Tate and fumbled on the Maryland one-yard line thwarting yet another drive. • After the defense forced a Maryland punt, the Mids finally took advantage of a red zone opportunity with Dobbs scoring from the one to tie the game at 14 with 5:07 left in the third. The big play of the drive was a 53-yard run by wide receiver Greg Jones. • Maryland took a 17-14 lead with 7:50 left in the game when Travis Baltz hit a 24-yard field goal. Maryland’s scoring drive was set up by Kyle Delahooke’s 29-yard punt. • Navy got the ball at its own 30 on the ensuing kickoff with 7:44 left and deliberately moved down the field to the Maryland seven. On first down, Greene picked up four yards to the Maryland three. Dobbs was stopped for no gain on second down and then a false start by junior fullback John McCauley pushed the ball back to the eight-yard line. Dobbs picked up seven yards on third down, moving the ball down to the one-yard line. On fourth and goal from the one, Dobbs tried to sneak it in and was met by Tate and a host of Maryland defenders well short of the goal line, giving Maryland the three-point win.

• The Navy defense held Georgia Southern’s triple option offense to just 73 yards rushing and 109 yards of total offense as Navy defeated the Eagles, 13-7, in front of 33,391 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. • Junior defensive end Jabaree Tuani led the Mids with nine tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss and a half a sack, while senior linebacker Tyler Simmons added a career-high tying seven tackles, 1.5 tackles for a loss, a half sack and forced a fumble. Senior nose guard Shane Bothel registered a career-high seven tackles, a tackle for a loss, a sack and a forced fumble. • The Mids jumped out to a 13-0 lead thanks to 18 and 42-yard field goals, respectively, by Joe Buckley in the first quarter and a one-yard touchdown run by Ricky Dobbs in the second. The Dobbs touchdown was set up by sophomore slot back John Howell, who snuffed out a fake punt by Georgia Southern and turned the ball over to the Navy offense at the Georgia Southern 40. • The Eagles cut Navy’s lead to 13-7 on their first drive of the second half, moving 49 yards on 10 plays with Jaybo Shaw hitting J.J. Wilcox on a 17-yard touchdown pass on fourth-andeight. • That would be it, however, for the Eagles as Navy held Georgia Southern to just 27 yards on 17 plays the rest of the way and the Mids held on for their first victory of the year. • Georgia Southern’s defense was equally stifling, holding Navy to just 109 yards rushing and 193 yards of total offense. Senior quarterback Ricky Dobbs rushed for just 44 yards on 25 carries. Senior fullback Vince Murray led the Mids with 50 yards on nine carries. • Dobbs did complete five of his eight pass attempts for 84 yards. He hooked up with senior Greg Jones on a big 44-yard completion in the fourth quarter that put the game away. Jones led all receivers with two catches for 54 yards.

• Senior quarterback Ricky Dobbs threw for a career-high 219 yards and a touchdown, while sophomore slot back Gee Gee Greene piled up 145 all-purpose yards to lead Navy to a thrilling 37-23 victory over Louisiana Tech in front of 23,122 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium. • Navy trailed 23-16 at the half, but outscored the Bulldogs 21-0 in the second half as the Mids controlled the clock running 50 plays to Louisana Tech’s 23. • Navy tied the game at 23 on the opening drive of the second half, marching 72 yards on 12 plays with Dobbs scoring from the one. • After both teams traded turnovers, senior corner Kevin Edwards made a great read on a Colby Cameron pass and intercepted the Tech quarterback at the Navy 46. • On the fourth play of the ensuing drive, the Mids lost Dobbs when he got the air knocked out of him on a three-yard run. Backup quarterback Kriss Proctor came in the game and faced a third-and-four from the Louisiana Tech 37. Proctor handed the ball off to senior fullback Vince Murray for a five-yard gain and then picked up a combined total of eight yards himself on the next three plays setting up a fourth-and-two from the Louisana Tech 24. Instead of kicking a 41-yard field goal, Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo opted to go for it and Greene came up big with a 17-yard run off a Proctor pitch to put the ball at the seven. Proctor scored on the next play, a seven-yard scamper, to give Navy a 30-23 lead. • The Mids held Louisian Tech on its next possession with Tyler Simmons and De’Von Richardson coming up with the key play, stopping Tech’s Ray Holley for a loss of one on third-and-one. • The Mids put the game away on the next drive with Murray rumbling 17 yards up the middle for a touchdown to give Navy a 37-23 lead it would never relinquish. • Dobbs added 67 yards rushing and a touchdown to his 219 passing, while Murray had 62 yards and a touchdown, Proctor add 24 yards and a touchdown and Stukel rushed for 15 yards and a touchdown. • Greene led the receiving corps with three catches for 58 yards, while Greg Jones had two catches for 68 yards and Brandon Turner caught one pass for 63 yards. • The defense was led by junior outsdie linebacker Aaron McCauley with a career-high 14 tackles, while Simmons added 13 stops and senior outside linebacker Jerry Hauburger finished with a personal-best eight tackles.

• Air Force quarterback Tim Jefferson rushed for 62 yards and two touchdowns, including a 50yard touchdown run in the first quarter, while completing five of his seven passes for 83 yards as he led Air Force to a 14-6 victory over Navy in front of 47,565 fans at Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs. • It was the first loss by Navy to another Service Academy since 2002 when the Mids lost at Air Force, while the 20-combined points marked the lowest combined score in the series since 1997 when Navy lost 10-7. The only Air Force touchdown in that game came on a blocked punt. • The Navy offense continued to struggle scoring points, settling for just two Joe Buckley field goals. The Mids gained just 312 yards of total offense on the day, including a paltry 129 yards in the second half. It marked the first time that Navy didn’t score a touchdown against another Service Academy since 1987 when the MIds lost to Army, 17-3. • Red zone offense was once again a struggle as the Mids made three trips into the red zone and came away with just the two field goals. Navy has scored just seven touchdowns on 19 trips to the red zone this year. • The key to the game might have been Navy’s second series when, after Kevin Edwards caused a Jared Tew fumble and recovered it himself at the Navy 43-yard line, the Mids quickly marched down the field and had the ball first and goal at the Air Force 3. Navy, however, could not punch it in as quarterback Ricky Dobbs was stopped for a loss of one on two-consecutive plays and then Vince Murray gained just one yard on third and goal from the five. To make matters worse, Buckley banged his 21-yard field goal off the left upright after the ball was partially tipped at the line of scrimmage. • Air Force would make that lost opportunity hurt even more when it moved 80 yards on three plays with Jefferson capping off the drive with his 50-yard touchdown run to take a 7-0 lead. • Navy would mount another nice drive at the start of the second quarter, moving from its own 14 down to the Air Force 12, but once again the red zone woes jumped up and bit the Mids. On first and 10, Murray gained one, on second down and nine Murray was held to no gain and on third and nine Dobbs rushed for three as the Mids settled for a 25-yard field goal by Buckley. • The Navy defense, which had been stout since Air Force’s first two drives of the game, came up with a fumble recovery on the Falcons’ first drive of the second half as Aaron McCauley fell on a bad pitch from Jefferson at the Air Force 36-yard line. • After picking up a first down, the Mids had the ball second and two from the Air Force 14 when Dobbs burst through the Falcon defense and picked up 13 yards to the Air Force one-yard line, but center Brady DeMell was called for holding. The Mids were forced to kick a field goal to narrow the Air Force lead to 7-6. • The score would remain that way until early in the fourth quarter when Kyle Delahooke had his punt blocked by Jamil Cooks and it was recovered by Anthony Wooding at the Navy 15yard line. Four plays later, Jefferson scored from the one and Air Force led 14-6 with 12:31 left in the contest.

• Senior quarterback Ricky Dobbs hit Greg Jones with a six-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone with 26 seconds left in the game, while the Mids’ defense forced three-straight incompletions on Wake Forest’s final possession as Navy rallied for a thrilling 28-27 come-frombehind victory in front of 31,454 fans at BB&T Field in Winston-Salem. • Navy’s game-winning scoring drive started from its own 36-yard line with 2:08 remaining and no timeouts left. The Mids were without starting fullback Vince Murray and back-up Alexander Teich, who both had left the game with injuries. • After two-straight incompletions, Dobbs hit junior slot back Aaron Santiago with a nine-yard pass over the middle and then Santiago picked up the first down on fourth-and-one with an option pitch for six yards that moved the ball to the Wake Forest 49. • Dobbs missed on two more passes, setting up another third and 10, but came through once again this time hitting sophomore slot back Gee Gee Greene for 34 yards down to the Wake Forest 15-yard line. • After a Wake Forest timeout, Dobbs ran left for six yards and after another Wake timeout Dobbs picked up three more yards to the six-yard line. On third-and-one, Dobbs faked a pitch left and rolled right and lofted a beautiful pass to Jones in the back of the end zone to tie the game at 27. Senior kicker Joe Buckley came on to make the extra-point to give the Mids a 28-27 advantage. • Wake Forest returned the ensuing kickoff 47 yards to its own 49-yard line, but the Mids forced freshman quarterback Tanner Price into three-straight incompletions as Navy held on for the one-point win. • Dobbs had the best game of his senior campaign, carrying the ball 22 times for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Additionally, he completed eight of his 19 pass attempts for 94 yards and two touchdowns. • Santiago added a career-high 66 yards on six carries, while Teich had 43 yards on 10 carries. • Greene (3-44) and Jones (3-35) were the leading receivers for the Mids. • Junior outside linebacker Aaron McCauley continued his great play with 13 tackles, two tackles for a loss and a fumble recovery. Junior defensive end Jabaree Tuani was a warrior inside for the Mids, coming up with eight tackles, three tackles for a loss and a forced fumble. Senior linebacker Tyler Simmons added 10 tackles and a fumble recovery, while Kevin Edwards had eight stops and a caused fumble.

• Navy (4-2) rallied from a 14-0 halftime deficit to stun SMU (4-3), 28-21, in front of 33,924 fans at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. It marked the second year in a row that Navy came from 14 points behind to beat the Mustangs. • The Mids cut SMU’s lead to 14-7 on their first drive of the second half when senior quarterback Ricky Dobbs hit junior slot back Aaron Santiago with a three-yard touchdown pass on a fourth-and-goal play. The two had hooked up earlier in the drive when Dobbs hit Santiago down the middle for 51 yards to get the third out of a third-and-17 hole. • After the defense forced a punt, the Mids tied the game at 14 on sophomore Gee Gee Greene’s one-yard touchdown run. Senior wide receiver Greg Jones had the big play on the drive, running for 33 yards on a reverse. • The Navy defense rose to the occasion again as senior outside linebacker Jerry Hauburger hit SMU quarterback Kyle Padron, forcing a fumble that junior defensive end Jabaree Tuani recovered at the SMU 31. • Five plays later, Navy had the lead as junior fullback Alexander Teich scored from the two to give Navy a 21-14 advantage. • SMU, however, would tie it at 21 on a 10-play, 57-yard drive that was capped by Padron hitting Aldrick Robinson with a 10-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone with 2:51 remaining. • After Navy went three-and-out, SMU got the ball back at its own 11 with 1:55 remaining. On the first play from scrimmage, senior linebacker Tyler Simmons stepped in front of a Padron pass for an interception at the SMU 13-yard line. • Two plays later, Teich scored from the four to give Navy a 28-21 lead. • SMU was able to move the ball to the Navy 41-yard line in the final seconds, but senior corner Kevin Edwards recovered a Bryce Tennison fumble on the final play to give the Mids their fourth victory in the last five games. • Teich led the Mids with a career-high 95 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 21 carries. Dobbs rushed for 62 yards on 19 carries and Greene had 48 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. • Dobbs completed six of his nine passes for 84 yards and one touchdown. Santiago had two catches for 54 yards and a touchdown. • Hauburger and junior outside linebacker Aaron McCauley led the defense with eight tackles each. Hauburger had a monster game with three tackles for a loss, a sack and two forced fumbles to go along with his eight stops. McCauley had a tackle for a loss and a pass break-up. Junior linebacker Max Blue added six tackles.

• Junior fullback Alexander Teich rushed for a career-high 210 yards on 26 carries, while senior quarterback Ricky Dobbs ran for 90 yards and three touchdowns to lead Navy to a 35-17 victory over Notre Dame in front of 75,614 at the New Meadowlands Stadium. • The Navy defense was equally impressive, stopping Notre Dame on a fourth-and-goal play from the one-yard line on the Irish’s initial possession and picking off Dayne Crist twice (sophomore safety De’Von Richardson and junior corner Kwesi Mitchell). • The win gave Navy’s senior class three wins in four years over the Irish as it became just the third class in school history to accomplish that feat, joining the classes of 1937 and 1964. • The win also marked the first time Navy has beaten the Irish in consecutive years since 196061 and it was the Mids’ first win over Notre Dame at a neutral site since 1960. • Navy rushed for 367 yards on the day, the most ever by a Navy team against Notre Dame, while Teich’s 210 yards rushing were the most by a Navy player against the Irish. • After senior linebacker Tyler Simmons and junior nose guard Jared Marks stopped Crist at the one-yard on the opening drive of the game, the Mids answered with a 99-yard drive on just six plays with Teich ripping off a career-long 54-yard run and capping the drive with a spectacular 31-yard touchdown reception off a screen pass from Dobbs. Teich had to leap a player for the Dobbs pass, caught it one-handed, then sprinted 31 yards before diving in the end zone to get Navy on the board first. • After a Notre Dame field goal, the Mids moved 77 yards in 12 plays with Dobbs scoring from the three to make it 14-3. • Notre Dame answered with a touchdown of its own to cut the lead to 14-10 and then forced Navy to punt on the Mids’ next drive. However, senior punter Kyle Delahooke got off a perfect 44-yard punt that was downed at the Notre Dame three-yard line and then three plays later Richardson picked off Crist at the Notre Dame 30-yard line giving the Mids one more chance to score before the half. • Navy took over the ball at the 30 yard line with 1:59 remaining and one timeout left and easily moved the 30 yards on five-straight runs without ever needing to use the timeout as sophomore slot back Gee Gee Greene capped the drive with a spectacular run from the nine to put Navy up 21-10. • Greene’s touchdown seemed to deflate the Irish as Navy took the second half kickoff and moved 77 yards in seven plays with Dobbs scoring from the nine to make it 28-10. • After Mitchell’s interception, Navy moved 73 yards in 10 plays with Dobbs scoring from the one to put the Mids up 35-10 midway through the third quarter. • Notre Dame would add a late touchdown in the fourth to make the final 35-17.

• Duke quarterback Sean Renfree completed 28 of his 30 pass attempts for 314 yards and one touchdown to lead Duke to a 34-31 victory over Navy in front of a Homecoming crowd of 34,117 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. • Navy opened the game by playing its worst half of football all year and trailed the Blue Devils, 24-0, at the intermission. Meanwhile, Renfree started the game by completing a school-record tying 16-consecutive passes for Duke. • The Navy offense wasn’t much better than the defense in the first half, gaining just 67 yards of total offense and fumbling three times, losing one. • The Mids finally got on the board with 6:01 left in the third quarter on a five-yard touchdown run by quarterback Ricky Dobbs. It was Dobbs’ 44th-career rushing touchdown, which broke the school record of 43 previously held by Chris McCoy (1995-97). • Duke, however, answered with a touchdown five minutes later when corner Kwesi Mitchell went for an interception along the right sideline and came up empty and Duke’s Conner Vernon took the catch 29 yards for a touchdown to give the Blue Devils a 31-7 lead. • To their credit, the Mids refused to give up and made things interesting in the final minutes. Navy cut the Duke lead to 31-15 when it drove 80 yards in six plays and used just 1:13 with Dobbs hitting Greg Jones with a seven-yard touchdown pass. Fullback Alexander Teich ran in the two point conversion. • Duke answered with a 40-yard field goal by Will Snyderwine with 8:34 left to take a 34-15 lead. Snyderwine’s field goal hit the left upright and bounced through. At the time, nobody knew how critical those points would become. • Navy raced right back down the field, going 61 yards on eight plays in 2:18 with Gee Gee Greene scoring from the one and then Dobbs ran in the two-point conversion to cut the lead to 34-23 with 6:16 left in the contest. • After Duke recovered Navy’s on-side kick, the Blue Devils ran four-straight plays with Navy stopping Duke on a fourth-and-one from the Mids’ 33 with 4:28 left. • With momentum now clearly in the Mids’ favor, Navy went 67 yards on 10 plays in just 1:54 with Dobbs hitting Aaron Santiago with a 12-yard TD pass to cut the lead to five and then Dobbs hit Santiago with a two-point conversion to make the score 34-31 with 2:34 left. • Once again Duke recovered the on-side kick and once again the Navy defense held, giving the Navy offense a chance to tie or win the game with 57 seconds left. • Navy took over at its own 20-yard line and Dobbs hit Jones for eight yards on back-to-back passes to move the ball to the 36. Dobbs spiked the ball on first down and then scrambled for eight yards to the 44-yard line. On third-and-one, Dobbs pitched to Andre Byrd and Duke safety Matt Daniels came up and made a great play to stop Byrd for a one-yard loss. On fourth down, Dobbs’ desperation attempt fell incomplete giving Duke the win.

• Navy outscored East Carolina, 48-14, in the second half thanks to four Pirate fumbles and an unstoppable ground attack as the Mids rolled over ECU, 76-35, in front of 50,191 fans at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville. The 76 points are the most by a Navy team since 1919. • The Mids took a 28-21 lead at the half thanks to a five-yard touchdown run by quarterback Ricky Dobbs with just 14 seconds remaining in the second quarter. The touchdown was the 45th of his career, which broke the school record previously held by Chris McCoy (1995-97). • The floodgates opened in the third quarter when East Carolina turned the ball over on threestraight possessions to start the second half. • The first turnover happened on the second play of the third quarter when ECU running back Jon Williams had the ball knocked out of his hands by defensive end Jabaree Tuani and Navy nose guard Chase Burge recovered it. • The Mids converted that fumble when Jon Teague nailed a career-long 38-yard field goal to make the score 31-21. • The Navy defense came up with another fumble on ECU’s next drive when Williams fumbled again and safety Tra’ves Bush came up with the ball at the ECU 29-yard line. • This time it took Navy just one play to put points on the board as Dobbs hit a wide open Aaron Santiago with a 29-yard touchdown pass to make the score 38-21. • Remarkably, ECU fumbled again, this time on the very next play from scrimmage, when quarterback Dominique Davis had his pass batted back to him by Billy Yarborough and when Davis caught his own pass he was hit by Tuani, forcing a fumble that was recovered by Tyler Simmons at the ECU 21-yard line. • Four plays later, Navy slot back Gee Gee Greene scored on a fourth-and-one play from the 12 to make the score 45-21.

• Quarterback Kriss Proctor, making just his third-career start, rushed for 201 yards and a touchdown on just 20 carries to lead Navy to a thrilling 38-37 victory over Central Michigan in front of 34,333 fans at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. • In a game that featured little defense, the two teams combined for 75 points and 965 yards of total offense as Navy clinced a winning season for the eighth-consecutive year. • The Mids trailed 24-21 at the half, but outscored the Chippewas 14-0 in the pivotal third quarter. • Proctor put the Mids up for good with a four-yard touchdown run on Navy’s first drive of the third quarter (28-24). • The Mids made it 35-24 on their next drive as John Howell scored his first career rushing TD from six yards out. • Defensive end Billy Yarborough stopped a Central Michigan fake punt on the next series and the Mids would convert it to points when Joe Buckley made a 35-yard field goal with 7:27 left in the contest. • Central Michigan answered Buckley’s field goal with a 10-play, 72-yard drive with Zurlon Tipton scoring from the one-yard line to trim the Navy lead to 38-31 with 3:04 remaining. • The Mids would pick up just one first down on their next possession with the Chippewas stopping Gee Gee Greene for a loss of two yards on third-and-three from the Navy 38. • After Kyle Delahooke’s 49-yard punt, Central Michigan took the ball over at its own 20 with just 1:04 left. • After Central Michigan quarterback Ryan Radcliff threw incomplete on first down, he hit consecutive passes for 16, 24 and 25 yards to move the ball down to the Navy 15-yard line. • After a spike and an incompletion, Radcliff hit Carl Volny for eight yards on third down and then hit Cody Wilson with a seven-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-two to pull CMU within one point. Chippewas head coach Dan Enos elected to go for the win and Radcliff’s pass in the back of the end zone was high, giving Navy a 38-37 victory.

• Quarterback Ricky Dobbs rushed for three touchdowns and threw for another while accounting for a career-high 318 yards of total offense in Navy’s 35-19 victory over Arkansas State in front of a Senior Day crowd of 27,501 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. • Dobbs had touchdown runs of one, one and three yards and hit Greg Jones with a careerlong tying 85-yard touchdown pass as the Mids improved to 8-3 on the year. • Dobbs’ second one-yard touchdown run, with 12:31 left in the contest, was his 39th over the last two years, an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in consecutive seasons. • Navy went up 14-0 in the first quarter as John Howell scored on Navy’s opening possession on a 12-yard touchdown run and then, after safety Wyatt Middleton recovered a fumble on Arkansas State’s first play from scrimmage, Dobbs scored from one yard out. • Navy made it 21-3 early in the second quarter on Dobbs’ 85-yard touchdown pass to Jones. The pass is tied for the third-longest in school history. • Arkansas State cut Navy’s lead to 21-13 at the half and the score remained that way until early in the fourth quarter when Dobbs scored his record-setting touchdown to push Navy’s lead to 28-13. • After an Arkansas State score, Dobbs scored his third touchdown of the day, this time from three yards out, to give the Mids a 35-19 lead. • Dobbs carried the ball 31 times for 154 yards and three touchdowns and completed eight of his nine passes for 164 yards and a touchdown.

• Senior safety Wyatt Middleton’s 98-yard fumble return for a touchdown with 1:03 remaining in the second quarter turned what was shaping up to be a close game into a rout as Navy rolled to its ninth win of the year and ninth-straight win over Army, 31-17, at a sold out (69,223) Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The 98-yard fumble return was the longest in school history and longest in an Army-Navy game. For his heroics, Middleton was named the Philadelphia Sportswriters Most Valuable Player. • Navy had jumped out to a 17-0 lead as Joe Bukley nailed a 36-yard field goal and quarterback Ricky Dobbs threw touchdown passes of 77 yards to John Howell and 32 yards to Brandon Turner. The touchdown pass to Howell was the longest pass play in series history. • The Mids were in total control of the game midway through the second quarter until a pair of Dobbs turnovers gave Army life. • Dobbs fumbled the ball on first down from his own 23 and it was recovered by Army’s Josh McNary. Six plays later, Army quarterback Trent Steelman hit Malcolm Brown with a five-yard touchdown pass to cut the Navy lead to 17-7. It was Army’s first touchdown against the Midshipmen since the fourth quarter of the 2006 game. • Three plays later, Dobbs gave the ball back to Army again as he was stripped by McNary and Stephen Anderson recovered the loose ball at the Army 48. • The Black Knights methodically moved the ball down the field, taking it 49 yards in 11 plays. On first and goal from the Navy three, Steelman tried to power his way into the end zone, but senior linebacker Tyler Simmons and senior outside linebacker Jerry Hauburger met Steelman at the two-yard line and Simmons’ knocked the ball from Steelman’s hands. The ball popped up in the air and flew right to Middleton who raced 98 yards for the back-breaking touchdown. • Army took the opening kickoff of the third quarter and drove 47 yards on 12 plays with Alex Carlton capping the drive with a 42-yard field goal to make the score 24-10. • Navy put the game away with a 13-play, 87-yard, 9:03 scoring drive to start the fourth quarter with slot back Gee Gee Greene waltzing in from the 25 to make it 31-10. • Dobbs led the Navy offense with 54 yards rushing on 20 carries. He completed six of his 11 passes for 186 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Slot back Aaron Santiago had two catches for 54 yards, while wide receiver Greg Jones caught two passes for 23 yards. • Simmons paced the Navy defense with 13 tackles and two forced fumbles, while sophomore Matt Warrick, making his first-career start, had 13 tackles and a pass break-up. Aaron McCauley had 11 stops, a sack and 2.5 tackles for a loss, while Middleton chipped in nine tackles, two fumble recoveries and a pass break-up to go with his 98-yard touchdown return.

GAME 13 >> SAN DIEGO STATE 35, NAVY 14 DEC. 23, 2010 | SAN DIEGO, CALIF. | QUALCOMM STADIUM | 48,049 • Freshman tailback Ronnie Hillman rushed for 228 yards and three touchdowns, while junior quarterback Ryan Lindley completed 18 of his 23 passes for 276 yards and two TDs to lead San Diego State to a 35-14 victory over Navy in front of a San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl record crowd of 48,049 at Qualcomm Stadium. • The Aztecs jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter as Hillman scored on a 22-yard touchdown run and wide receiver Vincent Brown caught a 53-yard touchdown pass from Lindley. • Navy cut the lead to 14-7 early in the second quarter when, on third-and-19, senior quarterback Ricky Dobbs hit wide receiver Greg Jones with a 30-yard touchdown pass. • San Diego State went back up by 14 with 3:15 left in the half when Hillman scored on a 37yard run, but the Mids answered with a 10-play, 73-yard scoring drive to cut the lead to 21-14 at the half. Dobbs hit Jones with a 40-yard pass down to the San Diego State 11 and then scored from the one with seven seconds remaining to give the Mids some momentum heading into the locker room. • Navy got the ball to start the third quarter and moved it to the San Diego State 9-yard line where the Mids had it first-and-goal. On first down, Dobbs was stopped for no gain and on second down he rushed for six yards to the Aztecs 3-yard line. On third-and-goal, sophomore slot back Bo Snelson was stopped for no gain and on fourth down Dobbs just barely overthrew an open Snelson in the end zone as the Mids turned the ball over on downs. • The score remained 21-14 until early in the fourth quarter when Lindley hit Hillman with a 15yard touchdown pass to make it 28-14. • Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo elected to punt on Navy’s next drive when the Mids had a fourth-and-two at their own 42. The decision did not pay off as San Diego State kept the ball for the next 6:46, driving 80 yards on 13 plays with Hillman capping the drive with a one-yard run to make the score 35-14. • Dobbs ended his celebrated career by rushing for 107 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries and completing eight of his 15 passes for 147 yards with one TD and one interception. Meanwhile, Jones finished with three catches for 85 yards and a touchdown. • Outside linebacker Jerry Hauburger led the defense with 11 tackles, while linebacker Tyler Simmons and safety De’Von Richardson finished with seven stops each. Linebacker Matt Warrick and safety Wyatt Middleton pitched in five stops each.
