Head coach Ken Niumatalolo was effusive in his praise for quarterback Zach Abey following Navy’s 42-32 defeat of Cincinnati.
Abey directed the triple-option offense like a seasoned veteran as the Midshipmen almost established a school record for rushing yards with 569. The Archbishop Spalding product also completed 2 of 3 passes, hooking up with wide receiver Tyler Carmona for a 19-yard touchdown and a 34-yard completion that set up a score.
“I’m very proud of Zach. I tell you, the kid played really, really well today,” Niumatalolo said during the post-game press conference.
