Army-Navy Game 2011 Final Score: Middies Make It 10

Another Army Black Knights graduating class will leave West Point without a win over the Navy Midshipmen. The Middies have now won 10 in a row, securing a 27-21 victory in Washington, D.C. The good news for Army: at least this one came down to the wire. It's the first time during the great drought that Army has lost by fewer than two scores.

It came down to a fourth-and-one play, in fact, when an Army linebacker was drawn offsides, producing the all-but-decisive first down. He will not have a pleasant evening.

If not for three lost fumbles, two fourth-down conversions allowed and a failed fourth-down effort of their own, the Cadets very well could've walked away the winners for the first time in a decade. Kriss Proctor finished with 98 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and future Navy SEAL Alexander Teich cranked out 93 and one.

The series now stands at 56-49-7, Navy. Next year's game returns to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Navy Vs. Army Game Score: Fourth Quarter Begins With Tie

The Army Black Knights and Navy Midshipmen are knotted up heading into the fourth quarter. Both Kriss Proctor and Trent Steelman tacked on touchdowns in the third, the former a goal line plunge and the latter a 25-yard SCORING PASS to Malcolm Brown. It's 21-21 in D.C.

After falling behind in the yardage game, Navy's virtually tied that back up as well. We're also even in the turnover game -- each side has coughed up a pair of fumbles. And Army's aerial game has been approached, as Proctor has completed a pass.

Two 70-yard rushers for each team also, yes? Yes. Brown and Raymond Maples for Army, and Proctor and Alexander Teich for the Middies. Trying to find something drastically different for either side. Navy's special teams have been slightly superior. There we go.

Army Vs. Navy 2011 Halftime Score: Malcolm Brown Ties It Up

The Navy Midshipmen cruised (< --- like a cruiser) to a 14-0 lead over the Army Black Knights, but the Cadets have bashed their way to a tie score at halftime in D.C. The second touchdown, a goal line-grazing Malcolm Brown dive, sends Army into the locker room with the momentum.

Army's moved the ball better, posting 211 yards to Navy's 140, but two fumbles have upped the difficulty. Brown and Raymond Maples have combined for 127 yards worth of rushing, and -- hold the phones -- Trent Steelman completed a pass. A 10-yard bomb to Austin Barr.

The Middies have won every game in this series since 2002. The way Army's moving the ball now, that streak could be in jeopardy.

Navy Vs. Army 2011 Score Update: Trent Steelman Cuts Lead

The Navy Midshipmen came into their annual game against the Army Black Knights with favored status. They've looked the part so far, building a 14-0 lead in the first half.

Alexander Teich scored the second touchdown, a 10-yarder to conclude a 55-yard drive.

But Trent Steelman responded moments later with his 12th rushing touchdown of the year, a 34-yard dash, to make it 14-7.

We've still seen just one total pass attempt so far, so that's good.

Kriss Proctor has been the box score hero, breaking a 32-yard run up the right sideline and tallying 71 yards through 22 minutes. Raymond Maples, Army's other primary weapon, has 39 yards on five attempts, including a 17-yard rumble.

Fumbles have helped limit Army -- two have hit the ground, and two have woundup in Navy's hands. The Middies lost a fumble of their own, but one is fewer than two, you see.

Army-Navy Game 2011 Score: Kriss Proctor Drives Middies To First Lead

The Navy Midshipmen took the first lead of the 2011 Army-Navy Game on a Kriss Proctor scoring plunge. The four-yarder completed a six-play, 26-yard drive and gave the Middies quarterback 39 yards on 11 efforts so far. At the end of the first, it's 7-0 in favor of Navy.

The Army Black Knights are losing because quarterback Trent Steelman attempted a pass. This may not be true, but his team is losing, so you do the math. Navy's dominated the clock, converting three of four first downs.

President Barack Obama joined uncles Verne and Gary in the booth for the scoring drive, proclaiming the Illinois Fighting Illini to be his former favorite college football team. He's too busy for college football on Saturdays these days, you see. Otherwise, Gary Danielson has been fascinated by Army's insistence on going inside while Navy seeks the edges.

Army-Navy Game 2011: TV Schedule, Game Time And More

The annual Army Vs. Navy game will be played in FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland this year, the home of the Washington Redskins. It's the final game in a disappointing seasons for both military academies. The Army Black Knights will be looking to snap a nine game losing streak to the Navy Midshipmen.

Despite their 3-8 record, Army leads the country in rushing offense, averaging 350.9 yards per game on the ground with their triple option offense. Army's offense, led by Raymond Maples, will look to snap their streak against a vulnerable Navy team.

The Midshipmen on the other hand failed to become bowl eligible this season, after going on a six game losing streak mid-season, including losing four games by three points or less. Led by senior quarterback Kriss Proctor, Navy will meet Army's triple option of their own, ranking 4th in the country running the ball averaging 313.7 rushing yards per game. Without being able to qualify for a bowl game, seniors Proctor and fullback Alexander Teich won't want to be part of the class that let the winning streak over Army be snapped.

Game date, time: 2:30 pm ET, Saturday, December 10th

Location: FedEx Field, Landover, MD

TV channel: CBS

Spread: Navy favored by 7

PHOTOS: Army And Navy Nike Pro Combat Uniforms Released

While it's fun to see Nike do all kinds of wacky things with the uniforms of college football teams, most notably Oregon, some uniforms just shouldn't be messed with too much. That's why it's awesome that Nike kept it classy with their Pro Combat uniforms for the Army Black Knights and Navy Midshipmen. Both got a great updated look without deviating from their classic uniforms too much. These are absolutely, 100 percent right on the money.

I'm a big fan of the numbering and the black sleeves. Here's Navy.

Blue and gold with some white accents. No nonsense. I can't come up with a negative word to say about either of these. Even with all of the different combinations that Nike has come up with for Oregon and other schools, this might be their finest work. And who's more deserving of their finest work than Army and Navy? You can check out the complete albums on Nike Football's facebook page.
