Naval Academy Accepts Bid To Houston Bowl
Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk announced Froday, Nov. 28, that Navy has accepted an invitation to play in the EV1.net Houston Bowl against an opponent yet to be determined from the Big 12. The game will be played on Dec. 30 at Reliant Stadium in Houston and televised by ESPN.
"Bringing out football team to the best host city in America is as good as it gets. Houston is a spectacular city for big time events," said Gladchuk. "I am certain those affiliated with Navy who visit this prestigious bowl game will be immeasurably impressed with what Jerry Ippoliti and his bowl committee have created. I believe Navy fans will turn out by the thousands to enjoy the city's enthusiastic hospitality, while cheering on the best football team we've fielded in many years. The Navy, Marines, our alumni and fans are preparing to "invade" Houston with a winning spirit and a sincere sense of appreciation for being selected."
"This is exciting news for our football program. I couldn't be happier for our players and coaching staff in getting this opportunity," said head coach Paul Johnson. "These young men have earned this through their dedication in the weight room and on the practice field starting last winter and their unwavering faith that we would turn this program around. When we started this year, one of our goals was to make it to a bowl game and now that has been accomplished. We still have one major goal left and that is to beat Army and win the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy on Dec. 6."
"We are very pleased and excited to have one of our national military academies accept a bid to the EV1.net Houston Bowl," said Jerry Ippoliti, President and CEO of the EV1.net Houston Bowl. "Navy football brings to our bowl a nation-leading rushing team, a coach of the year candidate in Paul Johnson and the likely winner of the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy."
This will be Navy's 10th bowl game appearance and the Mids have posted a record of 4-4-1 in the previous nine games. Navy's last appearance in a bowl game was a memorable one as Navy rallied for 14 fourth-quarter points to upset California, 42-38, in the 1996 Jeep Eagle Aloha Bowl.
This is the fourth year for a bowl game in Houston. It was called the galleryfurniture.com bowl in 2000 and 2001 and the Houston Bowl in 2002. Last year, Oklahoma State defeated Southern Miss, 33-23. Reliant Stadium, home of the EV1.net Houston Bowl, is also home of the Houston Texans and is the site of the 2004 Super Bowl.
Naval Academy Extends Head Football Coach Paul Johnson's Contract Through 2009
Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk announced Wednesday, Nov. 26, that the Naval Academy has extended head football coach Paul Johnson's contract through 2009.
"Paul has delivered a level of professionalism, knowledge and focus to a program that truly needed a jump start. He has accepted the challenge and the entire Navy community is realizing the rewards," said Gladchuk. "It was very important to stabilize quality continuity for the program and we have assured that through Paul and his staff. We will only get better each year under his leadership and I expect Paul to become the next Dean of Service Academy Coaches as our coach at Navy."
"Paul's leadership is so important to the Academy and our Midshipmen," said Vice Adm. Rodney Rempt, Naval Academy Superintendent. "We are all very pleased that he will continue to guide our football program back to national prominence. Our success this season on the field has been so rewarding on many fronts and most especially has rekindled the spirit of the Brigade."
"I'm excited about the commitment the Naval Academy has made to the football program and our coaching staff," said Johnson. "This year has been one of my most enjoyable years in coaching as our players have given us a total commitment since day one and the support has been tremendous, especially the support from the Brigade of Midshipmen. I look forward to continuing the restoration of the proud tradition of Navy Football."
Mids Blast Central Michigan
Quarterback Craig Candeto (Sr./Orange City, Fla.) directed touchdown drives on all eight possessions he played as Navy destroyed Central Michigan, 63-34, in front of a Senior Day crowd of 29,527.
The Mids jumped out to a 28-7 first quarter lead as Candeto rushed for 100 yards in the first quarter.
After Central Michigan took the opening kickoff and marched 64 yards on eight plays to take an early 7-0 lead, the Mids answered when Eric Roberts (Jr./Miami, Fla.) scored on a 45-yard touchdown run to tie the game at seven.
The key defensive play happened on the next series as Central Michigan was once again marching right down the field against the Navy defense. On second-and-seven from the Navy 28, Central Michigan quarterback Derrick Vickers completed a pass to Joe Staley down to the Navy 21, but junior safety Josh Smith (Attica, Ind.) stripped Staley of the ball and Pierre Moss (Jr./Charleston, W.Va.) fell on it at the Navy 14.
Navy made the Chippewas pay immediately as Candeto hit Roberts with an 86-yard touchdown pass to make it 14-7.
After freshman David Mahoney (Fort Myers, Fla.) intercepted his first-career pass, the Mids made it three touchdowns on three plays as Candeto kept on the option and went 47 yards for a touchdown to increase the lead to 21-7.
After the Navy defense forced a punt, the Mids scored their fourth touchdown of the first quarter when Candeto scored from one yard out.
The Mids went up 35-7 midway through the second when Navy drove 99 yards on nine plays with Tony Lane (Sr./Wrens, Ga.) scoring on a 32-yard option pitch.
After Central Michigan scored two touchdowns to pull within 35-21, the Mids promptly drove 65 yards in 1:02 to go up 42-21 at the half as Kyle Eckel (Jr./Haverford, Pa.) got in on the fun with a four-yard touchdown run.
Navy put the game away on the first drive of the second half as Eckel scored on a 33-yard run and the Mids got fourth quarter touchdowns from Candeto and Bronston Carroll (Sr./Katy, Texas).
The Mids' 63 points are the most points scored by a Navy team since 1996 and the second most scored since 1922.
The Mids rolled up 644 yards of total offense, sixth most in school history, and 530 yards rushing, the second most in school history.
Eckel led the way with 167 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries, while Candeto rushed for 150 yards and three touchdowns on 13 carries. Roberts chipped in with 93 yards and a touchdown on four carries as the Mids just missed becoming the first team in school history to have three players rush for over 100 yards in a game.
Candeto completed both of his pass attempts for 105 yards and a touchdown. Both of Candeto's completions went to Roberts who touched the ball six times on the day for 198 yards and two touchdowns.
Eddie Carthan (Sr./Donalsonville, Ga.) led the defense with 12 tackles, four tackles for a loss and two sacks. Lane Jackson (Jr./Miami, Fla.) added 11 tackles and 1.5 tackles for a loss, while Smith and Eli Sanders (Sr./Hartsville, Tenn.) added 10 tackles apiece.
Scoring Outburst
Navy's 63 points on Saturday against Central Michigan were the most since Navy hung 64 on Duke on Oct. 5, 1996, and were the second- most points scored since 1953.
The 97-combined points by the two teams were the most in a Navy game since 1919 when Navy defeated that well known powerhouse at Colby College, 121-0.
Hard To Keep Up
The Navy offense was scoring so quick on Saturday, the scoreboard had a hard time keeping up. Seven of Navy's nine touchdown drives came in 3:15 or less with five coming in 2:16 or less including scoring "drives" of 19 and nine seconds.
Eight-For-Eight
For starting quarterback/left fielder Craig Candeto (Sr./Orange City, Fla.), going eight-for-eight is good in whichever sport he happens to be playing at the time.
Against Central Michigan, Candeto was at quarterback for eight drives and all eight times Navy scored a touchdown, a streak he will try and keep alive today against Army.
Break Out The Record Book
Navy's 530 yards of rushing against Central Michigan are the second-most rushing yards in school history. The record is 563 yards against Kent on Nov. 22, 1997.
The Mids averaged a school-record 10.2 yards per carry. The previous record was 9.1 by Columbia in 1943.
Navy averaged a school-record 11.1 yards per play. The previous record was 9.1 vs Kent State in 1997.
The Mids rang up 644 yards of total offense, which ranks sixth on the Mids' all-time list and are the most since last year when Navy had 678 yards of total offense against Northwestern.
Injuries
Starting center August Roitsch (Jr./Houston, Texas) is out with a left foot injury, third-team guard Brett Nungesser (So./San Marino, Calif.) is out with a left knee injury, third-team linebacker/nose guard Evan Beard (So./Boardman, Ohio) is out with a right knee injury. Starting guard/center Shane Todd (Sr./Mt. Airy, Md.) is questionable with a right toe injury.
Series History
Army leads the all-time series, 49-47-7, but the Mids have won three of the last four, including last year in convincing fashion, 58-12, as Craig Candeto rushed for a school and Army-Navy game record six touchdowns.
Through 103 games in the series Navy has scored 185 touchdowns and Army has scored 178. Navy has outscored the Black Knights by 138 points (1,447-1,315).

The Commander-In-Chief's Trophy
The Commander-In-Chief's Trophy is presented annually to the winner of the football competition among the three major service academies - Army, Navy and Air Force-and is named in honor of the President of the United States.
Air Force has won the trophy 16 times, while Army has won it six times and Navy five times.
The Midshipmen were winners in 1973, 1975, 1978, 1979 and 1981. Air Force won it in 1982, 1983, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. Army's wins came in 1972 (the initial year), 1977, 1984, 1986, 1988 and 1996.
With a victory over Army, the Mids will win the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy.
Paul Johnson-National Coach-Of-The-Year Candidate
It's pretty easy to make a case for Navy head football coach Paul Johnson to be a candidate for National Coach of the Year when you consider the following:
*Johnson took over a program that had gone 1-20 the previous two years, the worst two-year stretch in the 122-year history of Navy football.
*Over the previous five years, Navy was 11-45, tied for the third-worst record in college football.
*Navy, at 7-4, has guaranteed itself a winning season for just the third time in 20 years and for just the ninth time in 40 years. Navy's last winning season was in 1997. A victory over Army \would give the Mids eight wins, which would be tied for the third-most wins in the last 40 years at the Naval Academy.
*The seven wins are four more than what Navy had won the previous three years combined (3-30) and with a victory over Army, this year's squad would equal the win total of the previous four years combined.
*Navy defeated Air Force for the first time since 1996 and put the Mids in position to win the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy for the first time since 1981 with a victory over West Point.
*The Mids lead the nation in rushing, averaging 323.1 yards per contest. Navy has rushed for a school-record 3,554 yards, are averaging a school-record 5.5 yards per attempt, a school- record 323.1 yards per game and have rushed for a school-record 38 touchdowns.
*The Mids have gained 4,763 yards of total offense this year which is a school record. The previous record was 4,684 yards. Navy is also averaging a school record 433 yards per game of total offense and a school record 6.2 yards per play.
*Navy's victory over Air Force was the first over a ranked opponent since 1985 and broke a 35-game losing streak against ranked opponents.
*Navy won four games at home this year after winning just three home games the previous five years combined.
*Navy went from 2-10 to 7-4, which is an improvement of 5 1/2 games, the second-best turnaround in the country.
*Thanks to Johnson's potent triple option offense, Navy is just the second team in NCAA history to have four players on the same team produceover 1,000-career yards rushing.
*The Mids have accepted an invitation to the Houston Bowl which will be Navy's first bowl game since 1996 and just the school's second bowl game in 22 years.
*Johnson is doing all this with the youngest team in school history, as the Mids are dressing 18 freshmen and playing 11 (unheard of at a Service Academy).
Mids One Of The Nation's Most-Improved Teams
The Navy football team's improvement this year is currently the second-best turnaround in the country as far as records are concerned.
The Mids finished the 2002 campaign with a 2-10 record and are 7-4 this year, an improvement of 5 1/2 games (1/2 game for each win and 1/2 game for each loss).
Tulsa, who is on Navy's schedule in 2004, is the most improved team in the country, going from 1-11 to 8-4, an improvement of seven games.
Mids Become Second Team In NCAA History With Four Players Over 1,000-Career Yards Rushing
Navy joined this year's Minnesota team as the only two teams in NCAA history with four 1,000-yard career rushers on the same team.
Senior quarterback Craig Candeto (Sr./Orange City, Fla.) has rushed for 1,801 yards, fullback Kyle Eckel (Jr./Havertown, Pa.) has rushed for 1,536 yards, senior slot back Tony Lane (Wrens, Ga.) has rushed for 1,173 yards and junior slot Eric Roberts (Miami, Fla.) has rushed for 1,007 yards in his career.
Winning At Home. Finally!
Navy's four home wins at home this year (VMI, Eastern Michigan, Tulane and Central Michigan) is one more home win than Navy had won the previous FIVE years combined. The Mids won two home games in 1998, one in 1999 and none from 2000-02.
The four home wins are the most by a Navy team since 1997 when the Mids won five games at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
Mark The Calendar
Navy should try and schedule a game every year on Nov. 22 because the Mids certainly like to play on that date.
On Nov. 22, 1997, the Mids rushed for a school-record 563 yards in a 62-29 defeat of Kent.
On Nov. 22, 2003, the Mids rushed for 530 yards, the second most in school history, in a 63-34 rout of Central Michigan.
Navy Leads The Country In Rushing Offense; Set Numerous School Rushing Records
The Mids are leading the nation in rushing with two games remaining, averaging 323.09 yards per game. Rice is second, averaging 316.67 yards per contes.
Navy has rushed for 3,554 yards on the year which is a school record. The previous record was 3,506 yardsset in 1999. The Mids are also averaging a school-record 5.5 yards per attempt, a school record 323.1 yards per game and have rushed for a school-record 38 touchdowns.
Navy has led the country in rushing just once in school history, that coming in 1999 when the Mids averaged 292.2 yards per game.

Run To Win
Teams that are successful running the ball are usually successful on the scoreboard. The combined record of the top-10 rushing teams in the country is 82-38 (.683). Nine of the 10 teams have winning records, with only Rice (5-7) having a losing record. Eight of the nine teams with winning records are heading to bowl games with only Air Force being left out. Fifteen of the top 15 rushing teams have winning records.
The bottom-10 rushing teams-BYU, Louisiana-Monroe, UCF, Stanford, North Carolina State, UCLA, Colorado, Wyoming, Western Michigan and Army-are a combined 39-80 (.328). Only N.C. State has a winning record.
Mids Set Total Offense Record
The Mids have gained a school-record 4,763 yards of total offense this year. The previous record was 4,684 yards set in 1999 (in 12 games).
Navy is also averaging a school-record 433 yards per game and a school-record 6.2 yards per play.
Another Navy First Down
Navy has a school-record 184 first down by rush. The school record was 177 set in 1999. The school record for total first downs is 253 set in 1985. The Mids are closing fast on that mark with 245.
Mids Fourth In The Country In Pass Defense
A big reason for Navy's success this year has been the improvement of its defense, especially the pass defense where Navy is ranked fourth in the country after finishing 63rd in the nation last year (116th in pass efficiency). Last year, Navy gave up 24 touchdown passes. This year, the Mids have given up nine.

Stingy In The First
The Navy defense has given up just three touchdowns all year in the first quarter and only once has a team scored on its initial drive (Central Michigan).
Candeto Tied With McCallum For Career Rushing Touchdowns
