Navy QB Blake Horvath's 95-yard TD run in Armed Forces Bowl is longest in school history
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Navy quarterback Blake Horvath had a 95-yard touchdown run, the longest in school history, in the Armed Forces Bowl against Oklahoma on Friday.
Horvath's score with 3:49 left in the third quarter tied the game at 14-14.
The previous record for the Midshipmen came during the Roger Staubach era, when Johnny Sai had a 93-yard run against Duke in 1963.
After faking a handoff, Horvath ran straight up the middle into the open field. Brandon Chatman cut off a pursing defender around the Sooners 20 and by time cornerback Woodi Washington was able to catch up, Horvath stretched the ball over the goal line while going down — though he was initially ruled short before a replay review resulted in the touchdown.
