CINCINNATI — Another quarterback change could not spark the struggling offense while the defense was shredded once again as Navy’s losing streak stretched to six on Saturday.
Quarterback Desmond Ridder directed an offense that rolled up 451 yards while massive tackle Cortez Broughton anchored a defense that completely shut down the triple-option as host Cincinnati routed Navy, 42-0, before an announced crowd of 36,318 at Nippert Stadium.
It was the most embarrassing performance of a dismal season for the Midshipmen, who were shut out for the first time since suffering a 12-0 loss to San Jose State in 2012.
