Troy 41, Navy 31: Corey Robinson passed for 322 yards and a touchdown and Deon Anthony ran for two scores and passed for another as the host Trojans snapped a two-game losing streak with a non-conference victory over the Midshipmen.
Troy (5-5) rolled up 597 yards of total offense to overcome a huge day for Navy's ground game. The Trojans' quarterback duo was impressive, as Robinson completed 25 of 28 passes and Anthony was 9-for-12 for 93 yards and added 56 yards on seven carries on the ground.
The Trojans had a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter after Anthony's 34-yard touchdown pass to Chandler Worthy, Shawn Southward's 6-yard touchdown run and Robinson's 62-yard scoring toss to B.J. Chitty.
The Midshipmen (6-4) pulled within 28-21 by halftime with three rushing touchdowns by quarterback Keenan Reynolds, and cut the deficit to 31-28 on Gee Gee Greene's 59-yard touchdown run with 6:15 left in the third quarter, but Anthony's second touchdown run of the game extended the lead.
Greene rushed for 150 yards on 16 carries and Reynolds added 130 yards on 21 attempts - the first duo to top 100 yards apiece against Troy since Florida International had three 100-yard rushers against the Trojans in 2010.
