PHILADELPHIA — The Midshipmen had already lost the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy. They weren't about to lose to Army, too.

Ricky Dobbs threw the longest touchdown pass in the 111-year history of the Army-Navy game, Wyatt Middleton had the longest fumble return in school history, and the Midshipmen extended their winning streak against Army to nine straight with a 31-17 victory Saturday.

Dobbs passed for 186 yards and two touchdowns in his final game against the Black Knights (6-6), one of 24 seniors to never lose to their rivals from West Point. Dobbs turned the ball over four times — three fumbles and an interception in the end zone — but also ran for a team-high 54 yards for Navy (9-3).
