"That was basically because it was our last home game and we went undefeated at home," Weatherbie said. "That's something McCoy, a 5-foot-10 junior, became the fifth player and the first quarterback in Navy history to run for 1,000 yards in a season. He has 1,130 yards in 230 attempts an average of 4.9 yards per carry.

He accounted for 312 of Navy's 424 yards in offense. Jerald Sowell scored two touchdowns for the Green Wave (2-8), who have lost six straight.
