Zac Larrier threw a 94-yard touchdown to Dane Kinamon — the longest pass in Air Force history — and the 22nd-ranked Falcons shut down Navy 17-6. Air Force gained almost as many yards on that one play as Navy did in the entire game. The Falcons seemed to back off defensively late, allowing the Midshipmen to drive 78 yards for their only touchdown.

Navy quarterback Braxton Woodson is hit by Air Force linebacker Alec Mock as he attempts to pass the ball during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, in Annapolis, Md.
Larrier, whose availability for this game was a surprise after coach Troy Calhoun said earlier in the week the injured quarterback would be out “a while,” completed only four passes, but they went for a total of 151 yards. After that it was a pretty typical run-heavy game between the two military academies. Now the Falcons can win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for a second straight year if they beat Army in two weeks.
Navy finally started moving the ball with Lavatai before a third-down penalty derailed the drive. He also was intercepted twice during that final period. The second of those turnovers was returned 18 yards for a touchdown by Alec Mock.
