Replacing Reynolds foremost on Navy agenda

It was no surprise when the very first question asked of head coach Ken Niumatalolo during Navy's football media day involved replacing Keenan Reynolds.

Reynolds, the only four-year starting quarterback in program history, set a slew of school and NCAA records during his decorated career. Reynolds was so good he became the first Navy player to have his jersey retired while still a midshipman at the academy.

Senior Tago Smith has the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of a legend. Only John Cartwright, who succeeded Hall of Famer Roger Staubach as Navy's starting quarterback, would understand what Smith is going through.
