PHILADELPHIA — Ricky Dobbs ran for a score Saturday to set an NCAA single-season record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with 24, and Navy defeated Army 17-3 for its eighth straight win in the series.
Dobbs also threw for a TD to help Navy (9-4) improve to 54-49-7 overall against Army (5-7) for its biggest lead in a series that began in 1890.
Navy already had a postseason date against Missouri in the Texas Bowl. Army would have played in the EagleBank Bowl with a win.
