Anthony Gargiulo thinks Zach Abey could play center if necessary.
Actually, Navy’s starting fullback and offensive captain was only joking – sort of.
After all, Abey started at wide receiver for seven games before moving back to his natural position full-time three games ago. The Archbishop Spalding product made his third straight start at quarterback and performed brilliantly, operating Navy’s triple-option offense at a high level to lead a 37-29 victory over Tulsa.
Abey rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns while also reading the defense and distributing the ball the way an option quarterback should.
