Navy option hopes to continue tradition of ripping through East Carolina defense

The Midshipmen have literally run roughshod over the Pirates, piling up yards and points at an astounding rate en route to winning six of seven meetings between the schools.

By far the most eye-popping performance came in 2010 when quarterback Ricky Dobbs directed a 76-35 destruction of East Carolina at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. It was a single-game school record for points by the Midshipmen, who amassed 596 yards of total offense.

Fullback Alexander Teich rushed for 157 yards and Dobbs added 100 as Navy scored on 12 of 14 possessions. Backup quarterback Kriss Proctor and backup fullback Vince Murray came on to score four touchdowns for the Mids, who finished with a whopping 521 rushing yards.
