Army Vs. Navy 2011: Game Tied 14-14 At Halftime

The 3-8 Army Black Knights found themselves trailing the Navy Midshipmen 14-0 late in the second quarter, and looked well on their way to another loss to the Midshipmen, who haven't lost this rivalry game since 2001. However; in the final 3:34 of the second quarter the Black Knights scored two touchdowns to knot the game at 14 going into the locker room.

Army Vs. Navy 2011: Midshipmen Lead 7-0 After One Quarter

In the 112th meeting between the Navy Midshipmen and the Army Black Knights, the 4-7 Midshipmen lead the 3-8 Black Knights by a touchdown after a quarter of play. Despite similar records and the long-standing rivalry the score should come as no surprise to anyone since Navy entered the day as seven-point favorites and haven't lost to their rivals since 2001.

It should also come as no surprise that there has yet to be a passing completion during this game. Both teams are known for their running game, and both average 300-plus yards on the ground per contest.

Through one there's only been on pass attempt – by Trent Steelman of Army. Army has 80 yards rushing on 16 carries. Navy has 84 yards on the ground, on 19 carries. The only score of the game came via the ground, in the form of a four yard rumble by Navy running back Kriss Proctor. 

The remainder of the game can be seen on CBS. Army began the second quarter with possession of the football.

The annual Army-Navy game will be played on Saturday at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, where a rivalry born in 1890 resumes with the teams' 112th meeting. 

The Army Black Knights will look to snap a nine-game losing skid against the Navy Midshipmen. The last time Army ousted its archrival was in 2001, when the Black Knights defeated a winless Navy team, 26-17. Since then, the rivalry has been decidedly one-sided, with Navy winning each of the last nine meetings by at least 12 points. 

Army, the nation's leading rushing team (350.9 yards per game), will look to overrun a Navy squad that's favored by seven points. The Black Knights (3-8) use a triple option attack spearheaded by Raymond Maples, a sophomore running back who has carried for 984 yards so far this season.

Navy also relies on a strong rushing attack, averaging 313.7 yards per game, good for third in the nation. The Midshipmen, led by quarterback Kriss Proctor, who has rushed for 817 yards and had a hand in 19 touchdowns (12 rushing, seven passing), have stumbled to a 4-7 record, losing six consecutive games at one point earlier in the season.

Army-Navy Game 2011 Preview: Black Knights Look To Snap Losing Streak As Seven-Point Underdogs To Midshipmen

One of college football’s oldest rivalries takes place on Saturday afternoon when the Army Black Knights take on the Navy Midshipmen at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, live on CBS at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Unfortunately neither team sports a winning record heading into this weekend's match-up (Army is 3-8, Navy 4-7), but when it comes to playing against each other, the Midshipmen have managed to sink the Black Knights in nine consecutive pairings.

It should come as no surprise then, to learn that Army is getting seven points (+7) in the spread and is +230 in the moneyline with an over/under of 58.

Here's how the teams match up:

The game pits Navy's No. 47-ranked offense, averaging 29.9 PPG, against a Black Knights defense that ranks No. 74 this week at 28.4 PPG. The Midshipmen aerial game is averaging 92.4 yards per game, less than the Black Knights secondary allows through the air, 178.1 YPG per game. Defensively, the Black Knights feature the league's No. 113-rated road run defense, allowing 245 yards per game. Navy, meanwhile, ranks No. 2 in rushing offense at home.

Army is coming off its third straight loss, a 42-14 shellacking to the Temple Owls in Philadelphia. Navy didn't fare much better, dropping a 27-24 nail-biter on the road against the San Jose St. Spartans.

Neither team has been lighting up the division, but that hasn't stopped this from becoming, once again, "America's Game."
