ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Blake Horvath accounted for 469 total yards and four touchdowns, and Navy held off a furious Air Force rally to win 34–31 on Saturday in the first game of the 2025 Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy series at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
Horvath threw for a career-high 339 yards and three touchdowns — all to senior slotback Eli Heidenreich — and rushed for 130 yards and a 59-yard score as the Midshipmen (5–0, 3–0 American) remained unbeaten and extended their best start in nearly two decades.
Heidenreich was unstoppable, catching eight passes for 243 yards, the fourth-highest single-game total in Navy history.
