Heidenreich becomes Navy's all-time receiving yards leader as Midshipmen beat
No. 25 South Florida

Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) --- Eli Heidenreich caught five passes for 146 yards and
became Navy's all-time receiving yards leader, quarterback Braxton Woodson ran
for 103 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter in relief of Blake
Horvath and the Midshipmen defeated No. 25 South Florida 41-38 on Saturday.
Alex Tecza carried 12 times for 126 yards, including an early 76-yard score,
and caught Horvath's lone touchdown pass as Navy (8-2, 6-1 American Athletic
Conference) secured a half-game lead in the conference.
Heidenreich has 1,794 career receiving yards and moved past Rob Thompson's
1,736, compiled from 1965-67.
Byrum Brown threw for 327 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for 136 yards and
two more scores for South Florida (7-3, 4-2), which scored 22 points in the
fourth quarter yet lost its second consecutive road game. The Bulls also lost
ground in their bid to reach the conference championship game.
After Heidenreich earlier career-long 82-yard catch from Horvath set up Brandon
Chatman's 4-yard touchdown run to make it 14-3 at the end of the first quarter,
his 32-yard catch from Woodson was a crucial moment during an eight-play,
75-yard scoring drive that ended with Woodson's 20-yard scoring run to make it
34-24.
On Navy's next possession, Woodson ran 64 yards for the Midshipmen's third play
of 60 or more yards to make it 41-30.
The takeaway After another big home win put the Bulls back in the Top 25 for the fifth time this season, South Florida may fall back.
