This year marks the 55th anniversary of the 1963 team that posted a 9-2 record and was ranked as high at No. 2 in the country. The Mids owned victories over West Virginia (51-7), William & Mary (28-0), Michigan (26-13), VMI (21-12), Pittsburgh (24-12), Notre Dame (35-14), Maryland (42-7), Duke (38-25) and Army (21-15). The Mids lost at SMU (32-28) and to No. 1 Texas in the Cotton Bowl (28-6). The weekend includes a Friday night dinner/dedication in the new 1963 Navy Football Team Club in Akerson Tower, a pregame tailgate, on-field team recognition and a Sunday brunch. The dedication of the club is a culmination of a fundraising effort from the team in support of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. A new tribute will be unveiled in the club at the dedication and will provide recognition to one of Navy s all-time great teams. The following members of the 1963 team will be in attendance this weekend: Bruce Abel, Bruce Bickel, Michael Chumer, John Connolly, Dennis Connolly, Richard Curley, Charlie Durepo, Richard Earnest, Wayne Hanson, Neil Henderson, Bill Higgins, Joe Ince, Duncan Ingraham, Doug Katz, Andy Kish, Larry Kocisko, Alexander Krekich, Tom Lynch, Nick Markoff, Fred Moosally, Phil Norton, Bob Orlosky, Skip Orr, James Ounsworth, Pat Philbin, Norman Radtke, Mike Riley, Alan Roodhouse, John Sai, Robert Schaefer, Charlie Shields, Steven Shrawder, Roger Staubach, Robert Sutton and Bob Wittenberg. SETTING THE STAGE Navy and Temple will meet for the 14th time in school history and for the third time as conference foes when they square off on Saturday afternoon at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium (34,000) in a key conference game for both schools. Kickoff is set for 3:30 pm and the presenting game day sponsor is Navy Mutual. The Mids are (.804) at home under head coach Ken Niumatalolo, including a 18-2 (.900) record over the last four seasons (16-1 in regular-season games over the last four years). PRESENTING GAME DAY SPONSOR Temple leads the all-time series, 7-6-1, and the Owls are 2-0 against the Mids since Navy joined the American Athletic Conference in Temple and UCF (0-1) are the only two AAC opponents that Navy has not beaten. Both of those schools are in the East Division, so Navy only plays them twice every four years. Temple has won three of the last four meetings and has dominated the Mids in the last two outings. The Owls beat Navy, 34-10, in Annapolis in the 2016 AAC Championship Game and then beat Navy last year, 34-26, at Lincoln Financial Field in a game that was not as close as the final score indicated. Navy s last win over Temple came in 2014, 31-24, in Philadelphia. Navy is 4-4 all-time against the Owls in Annapolis. Navy enters Saturday s game in a three-way tie for second place in the West Division with SMU and Tulane at 1-1. Next week s opponent, Houston, is in first place with a 1-0 mark. Temple is in a three-way tie for first place in the East Division with Cincinnati and UCF at 2-0. USF is 1/2 game back with a 1-0 mark. The Brigade of Midshipmen will march-on at 3:11 pm.

Hammond, sidelined early in the game when dazed by a helmet-to-helmet collision, returned to run for three touchdowns and throw for another, leading Air Force past Navy, 35-7, last Saturday in his first career start. Joseph Saucier also scored on a 48-yard run for Air Force, which took the first leg in the competition among the service academies for the Commander in Chief s trophy. Air Force will play at Army on Nov. 3 while Navy (2-3) plays Army on Dec. 8 in its final regular-season game. Hammond was injured on a third-down run in the opening minutes of the game. He returned to throw a 61-yard touchdown pass to Ronald Cleveland and run for touchdowns of 1, 2 and 5 yards. During Air Force s second offensive series, Hammond absorbed successive hits to his head by two Navy defenders. Shaken, Hammond lay on the ground for several moments while being tended to by team trainers and medical staff. He sat up and was helped to his feet before being led off the field for further examination. Officials, after reviewing the hit, penalized Navy linebacker Taylor Heflin for targeting. Heflin was disqualified from playing in the remainder of the game. Isaiah Sanders played in place of Hammond for most of the first quarter and part of the second before the starter was cleared to return. Up by seven at halftime, Air Force added two touchdowns in the third quarter with Hammond leading a pair of 75-yard drives that he finished with 5- and 1-yard scoring runs, respectively. He added the 2-yarder early in the fourth quarter on a quarterback draw. Navy struck first on a 2-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter by Garret Lewis, his first play in relief of starter Malcom Perry. But the Falcons came back to score a pair of touchdowns less than two minutes apart in the second quarter to move in front 14-7 at the half, triggering a run of 35 consecutive points by the Falcons. Hammond, in his second series since returning to the field, connected in the flat with Cleveland who turned a short reception into a 61-yard catch and run for a touchdown midway through the second quarter. Saucier was able to turn the corner after taking a pitch from Hammond, outrunning defenders along the sideline to go in for the score. INJURIES The following players on the depth chart missed the Air Force game with an injury: Starting wide receiver Zach Abey, second-team cornerback Marcus Wiggins, secondteam linebacker Griffin Baumoel, third-team linebacker Tyler Pistorio, third-team quarterback Dalen Morris, thirdteam slot back Mason Plante and kickoff specialist J.R.

5 IN THE CLASSROOM The rigors a student-athlete faces at a Service Academy are unlike those a typical student-athlete might encounter on a day-to-day basis. Whether it s the added military training, mandatory room or uniform inspections or the academic schedule, Service Academy student-athletes are in a league of their own. The Naval Academy s academic day is divided into six 50-minute class periods beginning at 7:55 am and concluding at 3:20 pm. Unique to the Academies, all 4,400 Midshipmen reside on the Yard in Bancroft Hall and dine together in King Hall.

Being elected team captain at the Naval Academy is one of the highest honors you can receive at an institution that prides itself on producing great leaders, said Niumatalolo. Anthony and Sean are not only outstanding football players, but they are great leaders in the locker room and in Bancroft Hall and I have no doubt that they will be great captains for us. Gargiulo had a breakthrough junior campaign at fullback, rushing for 423 yards and three touchdowns on 76 carries (5.6 yards per carry). He came off the bench against SMU to rush for a career high 145 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and then the following week, making his secondcareer start, ran for 87 yards on 20 carries and caught a 21-yard pass in South Bend against Notre Dame. Williams has started 25 games in his career entering his season year, including 12 in He was named Honorable Mention All-American Athletic Conference this past fall as he finished second on the team in tackles with 76, while picking off a pass and recovering a fumble.

Zach Abey (1,413) and Malcolm Perry (1,182) both topped 1,000 yards rushing a year ago. Kyle Eckel (1,249) and Craig Candeto (1,112) were the first players to achieve it in Meanwhile, Keenan Reynolds (1,373) and Chris Swain (1,023) accomplished the feat in MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE In eight career starts at quarterback, junior Malcolm Perry has carried the ball 184 times for 1230 yards (6.7 yds/carry) and 13 touchdowns (153.8 yds/gm). Perry has rushed for more than 100 yards in six of his eight starts and for over 200 yards in three of the seven (SMU and Army in 2017 and Lehigh in 2018). Perry is one of just five Navy players in school history to have two 200-yard rushing games in a single season, joining Zach Abey (2017), Keenan Reynolds (2013 and 2014), Chris McCoy (1996 and 1997) and Napoleon McCallum (1983). Perry is one of just four Navy players in school history to have three 200-yard rushing games in career. Chris McCoy holds the school record with five 200-yard rushing games, while Keenan Reynolds and Napoleon McCallum had four each. There have been only five runs of 90 yards or more in the history of Navy football and Perry has two of them - both in He is just the third player in FBS history to have two runs of 90 yards or more in the same season. Perry is averaging rushing yards per game this year, which is the 11th-best average in the country. Perry was the starting quarterback at Hawai i in Navy s 2018 season opener and rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. His touchdown run came on a 75-yard scamper, marking his fifth career touchdown of 65 yards or more. Against Memphis in the AAC opener, Perry carried the ball 36 times for 166 yards and two touchdowns in Navy s thrilling victory over the Tigers. Perry became the second player in school history to lead the team in rushing (166 yds), passing (22 yds) and receiving (17 yds) in a single game, joining Keenan Reynolds, who did it in his final collegiate game against Pitt in the 2015 Military Bowl. Perry had his third-career 200-yard rushing day when he amassed 223 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries in Navy s victory over Lehigh. SMU was the first team to slow Perry holding him to 33 yards on 14 carries before Perry had to leave the game in the third quarter with a concussion. Perry was stymied for a second-straight game when he ws held to 54 yards on 19 carries against Air Force. Perry, who played at both slot back and quarterback as a sophomore, rushed for more than 100 yards in three consecutive games as a slot back (Cincinnati, Tulsa and Air Force) his sophomore year. He was the first Navy slot back to have three consecutive 100-yard rushing days since Shun White in Perry rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries against Cincinnati and a then career-best 104 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries against Tulsa. He had an incredible day against Air Force rushing for 127 yards and a touchdown on four carries, while catching two passes for 45 yards and a touchdown. His 91-yard touchdown run against the Falcons was at that time tied for the second-longest run in school history and the longest run in stadium history. Against UCF, Perry caught a 75-yard touchdown pass from Zach Abey and had a long touchdown run called back because of holding. Against Temple, Perry caught four passes for 94 yards and carried the ball five times for 23 yards. He also threw a five yard touchdown pass to Abey. Perry took over the starting quarterback job against SMU a year ago and rushed for an AAC-record 282 yards and four touchdowns on 33 carries to lead Navy to a win. The 282 rushing yards was the fourth most in the country in 2017 and the second most by a quarterback. It was also the fifth most in FBS history by a quarterback. His 92-yard touchdown run now stands at the longest run in Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium history and the second-longest run in program history. He was named the FBS Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week for his performance. Against Army, Perry was the starter at quarterback and 2018 NAVY FOOTBALL GAME NOTES: 7 rushed for 250 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries. He made his third career start at quarterback against Virginia in the Military Bowl and rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns on just 16 carries before leaving early in the third quarter with an injury.
