Keenan Reynolds runs for three TDs as Navy beats Air Force

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Navy's offense staged a shutdown of its own before springing to life in the second half against Air Force. Keenan Reynolds ran for 126 yards and three touchdowns, and the Midshipmen rolled to a 28-10 victory Saturday in a game that survived the restrictions of the U.S. government mass furlough. Although the Department of Defense has suspended athletic competition at the nation's service academies because of the shutdown, an exception was made for this event because it was funded by non-appropriated money. Still, it made for a difficult and unusual few days of preparation. "It was a tough week for both sides, the uncertainty of if the game was going to happen," Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. "You didn't know what was going to transpire." The game didn't go according to the script either.
