Navy Runs for 506 Yards in 42-15 Win over Towson
Navy threw for 21 yards. It also won by 27. Five hundred and six rushing yards on 73 carries will do that.
The Midshipmen beat Towson 42-15 in the opener and never trailed or was tied. Braxton Woodson ran 38 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, and Vic Listorti added a 35-yarder before the quarter was out to make it 14-0. Towson got on the board in the second quarter on a 48-yard pass from Andrew Indorf to Aaron Enterline, but the extra point failed. Jackson Gutierrez scored from three yards out, Indorf found Jacob Zollar for 30 yards (the two-point try failed too), and Woodson scored again with 24 seconds left in the half for a 28-12 lead.
The second half was more of the same. Gutierrez ran in from two yards in the third quarter to make it 35-12, a Zaydaan Faridi 40-yard field goal cut it to 35-15, and Woodson finished it with a 4-yard run with 8:39 left in the fourth. Navy totaled 527 yards (506 rushing, 21 passing), lost no fumbles, threw no interceptions and sacked Towson three times. Towson missed a point-after and a two-point try, which is two points it did not have.
Navy starts 1-0 and Towson 0-1. Towson did score twice through the air, on throws of 48 and 30 yards, but never got closer than 15 points after halftime.
The fantasy story is one position. Woodson, a quarterback, ran 23 times for 200 yards and three touchdowns for 38.8 Promethium points, and the next two scorers in the game were also Navy rushers.
