When Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo called for a field goal during Saturday morning's practice at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, it wasn't starting kicker D.J. Grant-Johnson who trotted onto the field.
Instead, sophomore Bennett Moehring came on and calmly booted a 33-yarder through the uprights.
Navy completed its first full week in pads on Saturday and injuries are beginning to make an impact on the depth chart. Several players that opened preseason camp atop the depth chart have been standing on the sidelines and their replacements are gaining valuable experience. In some cases, the backups are closing the gap.
