Navy edged Army in a dramatic win while President Donald Trump’s appearance drew protests throughout Baltimore, adding political friction to the storied Army-Navy matchup.

Army scored a touchdown on its opening drive but never reached the end zone on its remaining seven tries. Each of the Black Knights’ final five series lasted four plays or fewer as Navy — with a time of possession of 34:35 — substantially outperformed the nation’s No. 1 clock-eater.

Army's failings can be traced all the way back to the first quarter. Tied at 7, the Black Knights had the ball at the Navy 8 and gained just 5 yards on three snaps. Dawson Jones hit a go-ahead field goal, but that meant trading seven points for three.

Navy head coach Brian Newberry did not downplay what his team had just endured, acknowledging after the Midshipmen’s 17–16 win over Army the mistakes and pressure that come with the rivalry, while making it clear the one-point finish was no surprise.

Annapolis native and St. Mary’s grad Jack Bousum has no regrets choosing to attend Army over the hometown team. He had a career day Saturday.
