JACKSONVILLE, FLA. — And the legend of Will Worth continues to grow.
Thrust into the starting quarterback role due to an injury, Worth just gets better with each passing week and is accomplishing things not even legendary predecessor Keenan Reynolds did.
Worth rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns as Navy won a back-and-forth battle with Notre Dame, 28-27, on Saturday before an announced crowd of 50,867 at EverBank Field. Worth directed the triple-option to perfection as the Midshipmen rolled up 323 rushing yards in beating the Fighting Irish for the first time since 2010.
