FAU vs. Navy 2012 results: Navy overcomes early deficit, wins 24-17

With one of the best rushing attacks in the nation, the Navy Midshipmen turned in another winning performance on the ground to defeat the Florida Atlantic Owls, 24-17. After Navy went down early, 10-0, this game quickly became the Keenan Reynolds show. With his option attack, Reynolds filled the stat sheet again this week, compiling 306 total yards and hitting pay dirt three times. FAU's Jonathan Wallace did some turf-buring of his own, rushing for 111 yards on 28 carries, but could not match the dynamic Navy attack. Navy moves to 6-3 on the season, taking their sixth-best running game to the bank for another week.
