The academies, update 7

It's a final from M&T Bank Stadium! Navy 38, Army 3. And it could have been a bigger margin, because the final play ended at the Army 4. Navy cleared its bench for the final possession. Troy Goss, a senior, finished the game at quarterback. He got to play in two Army-Navy games. Was Paul Johnson lighting a cigar there on the sidelines at the end? Nah, just an illusion. He also wasn't giving forwarding addresses to his coaching staff, either, although that might happen later.

They just sang the joint alma maters in front of the Cadets. Now they're racing to the other side of the stands for the Navy alma mater. And Reggie Campbell - a senior, if I haven't mentioned it - is leading it.

More later, from the locker rooms, including some final stats. Campbell's career high in all-purpose yardage is 290, in that crazy Poinsietta Bowl game two years ago. He didn't top that, but this was second best in his career.
