Navy Dominates Tulsa Behind Strong Offensive Performance
Navy defeated Tulsa 42-23 on Saturday in Week 3, with the Midshipmen controlling much of the contest. Navy's offense was efficient throughout, with quarterback Blake Horvath leading the passing attack with 94 yards. Running back Charles Robinson contributed on the ground, while the Navy defense stifled Tulsa's offense for stretches.
Tulsa started strong, scoring 14 points in the first quarter, but Navy responded with consistent offensive execution. The Midshipmen outscored the Golden Hurricane in the second and third quarters, building a decisive advantage. Navy scored seven points in both the first and fourth quarters while accumulating 14 in each of the middle two quarters.
Tulsa's offense managed only a touchdown pass from Baylor Hayes to Calvin Johnson II in the fourth quarter, though the two-point conversion failed. Wide receiver Zion Booker led Tulsa's receiving corps with 90 yards. Despite a competitive second half with four lead changes, Navy's early offensive momentum proved too much to overcome. The victory saw Navy cover the 13.5-point spread, and the game stayed under the 52-point over-under line.
