Navy senior quarterback Dalen Morris has been named the NAAA Athlete of the Week presented by Northrop Grumman for his performance in Saturday's 27-24 victory over Tulane.
 
Morris came off the bench to lead Navy to 28-straight points in the second half as he helped lead the Mids to the biggest comeback in school history.
 
Morris completed six of 11 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown, while rushing for 23 yards.  His 32-yard touchdown strike to Mychal Cooper with 13:22 left pulled Navy to within two points at 24-22 and his pass to Devin Mathews on the two-point conversion tied the game at 24.
 
Navy won the game on a 33-yard field goal by Bijan Nichols as time expired.
 
Navy, 1-1 on the year and 1-0 in the American Athletic Conference, is off this week before traveling to Air Force on Saturday, Oct. 3 in the first leg in the battle for the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy. Navy is the defending CIC Trophy champions.
