ANNAPOLIS, Md.—Navy senior quarterback Blake Horvath was honored today by the American Conference, the Davey O'Brien Award and the Manning Award for his performance in Saturday's 34-31 victory over Air Force.
Horvath set the school record with 469 yards of total offense in the win, rushing for 130 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, while completing 20 of his 26 pass attempts for a career-high 339 yards and a career-high tying three touchdowns.
Horvath's four touchdowns came on a 59-yard run and touchdown passes of 80, 60 and 19 yards.
The three passing touchdowns were just one off the school record, while the 339 passing yards are the fifth most by a Navy player in program history and the most since Jim Kubiak threw for 361 yard against Army in 1994.
Horvath is the first Navy player to throw for 300 yards in a game since Keenan Reynolds threw for 312 yards at Houston on Nov. 27, 2015. He is the first Navy player to throw for 300 yards and rush for 100 yards in a game since Brian Broadwater threw for 302 yards and ran for 115 yards vs. Tulane on Nov. 11, 2000.
The 20 pass completions are the most by a Navy player since Brian Broadwater's 23 completions against Georgia Tech on Sept. 16, 2000.
For his efforts Horvath was named the American Conference Offensive Player of the Week, the Davey O'Brien Great 8 Quarterback of the Week and the Manning Award Star of the Week.
It is first time that a Navy player has been named Player of the Week by the American.
The Davey O'Brien National Quarterback of the Week, selected from the Great 8 list, will be revealed Tuesday at 12 noon.
Horvath will be competing against Carson Beck (Miami), Nico Iamaleava (UCLA), DJ Lagway (Florida), Jaylen Raynor (Arkansas State), Julian Sayin (Ohio State), Ty Simpson (Alabama) and Brendan Sorsby (Cincinnati).
