Momentum swung back and forth throughout the second half between Pittsburgh and Navy, but once again Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds made the critical plays down the stretch to lead a win.
Navy set a school mark in wins with its 44-28 win over Pitt in the Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman.
What the win means for Navy: The Midshipmen have their first 11-win season in program history, and they should be able to build off this unprecedented season. While Reynolds departs, the program kept coach Ken Niumatalolo. Navy should be in position to compete for AAC championships and a New Year’s Six berth with Niumatalolo on the sidelines, and Reynolds’ publicity should help recruiting some.
