Navy 28, Air Force 21 (OT): Offensive lineman Jake Zuzek recovered a fumbled snap in the end zone and Navy's defense held serve in overtime as the Midshipmen upset the host Falcons.

Noah Copeland ran for 84 yards and a touchdown and true freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds came off the bench to help Navy rally late.

The Midshipmen (2-3) took the first step toward reclaiming the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, which is awarded to the team with the best record during a round-robin tournament between the three service academies. Air Force (2-3) has won it the past two seasons.

Navy had the first shot on offense in overtime, scoring when Reynolds' fumble at the goal line was recovered by Zuzek in the end zone. Navy ended the game when Wes Henderson batted down Connor Dietz's pass on fourth down.

Cody Getz, the nation's second-leading rusher, ran for 204 yards and a touchdown for Air Force, which turned the ball over three times - one more than its season total to date.
