Though Navy fell to its longtime rival in Philadelphia, the Midshipmen made their fans, and the entire American Athletic Conference, proud PHILADELPHIA-- Leave it to Army-Navy to give us the most dramatic of finishes to this college football regular season. What's better than a nationally televised game between these two first-class service academies, played in 30 degree temperatures and driving snow before a sellout crowd of 68,625 at Lincoln Financial Field here, coming down to the final play? This game has always had a bigger-than-life feel to it. There have been so many heroes on both sides who have played in this game over the years, then gone on to protect our freedoms.
