Navy held on for a thrilling 41-38 victory over South Florida in a high-scoring shootout at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Alex Tecza sparked the Midshipmen with a 76-yard touchdown run and later added a receiving score, while Braxton Woodson delivered two crucial fourth-quarter touchdown runs, including a 64-yarder. Despite a valiant comeback effort led by Byrum Brown, who accounted for four total touchdowns for the Bulls, South Florida's late 41-yard scoring strike with 1:55 remaining proved insufficient.
