For the first time since 2019, the Navy Midshipmen won a bowl game, as they defeated the Oklahoma Sooners, 21-20, in the Armed Forces Bowl on Friday. The Midshipmen (10-3) hadn’t played in a bowl game since that 2019 Liberty Bowl.

The Oklahoma Sooners and Navy Midshipmen will clash in a battle of wagons and boats in the Armed Forces Bowl. Oklahoma enters the game off a disappointing first year in the SEC, finishing 6-6 and barely achieving bowl eligibility.

Blake Horvath set a Navy record with a 95-yard touchdown run and scored a go-ahead 6-yarder with 4:34 left as the Midshipmen overcame an early two-touchdown deficit and stopped a late 2-point conversion attempt to beat Oklahoma 21-20 in the Armed Forces Bowl.
