Navy Runs Past USF to Improve to 5-1

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The Navy defense backed another dominant performance on the ground by senior quarterback Malcolm Perry in a 35-3 victory over USF on Saturday.

Perry finished with 188 yards on 22 carries with a pair of touchdowns. He surpassed more than 3,000 career yards rushing in his career, joining Keenan Reynolds, Napoleon McCallum and Chris McCoy as the only Navy players to accomplish that feat.

The Midshipmen have a three-game winning streak for the first time since 2017 when they won five straight to start the year.

Junior linebacker Jacob Springer notched a career-high three sacks and cornerback freshman Chelen Garnes had an interception for Navy (5-1, 3-1 American Athletic Conference).
