Navy 58, San Jose 52 (3OT): Sophomore Keenan Reynolds rushed for a school-record seven touchdowns - including three in the overtime periods - and threw for another as the visiting Midshipmen won their third straight game while damaging the Spartans' bowl hopes.
Reynolds, who has 15 rushing touchdowns in his last four games, ran for 240 yards while completing 4-of-6 passes for 46 yards against San Jose while becoming the first FBS quarterback to rush for seven touchdowns. Reynolds' scores were from 12, 3, 38, 20, 25, 7 and 25 yards as Navy (7-4) ran for 432 yards.
David Fales was 42-of-56 for 430 yards and matched a career high with five touchdowns for San Jose State (5-6), which intentionally allowed Navy to score to take a 38-30 lead with 2:38 left rather than let the Midshipmen potentially run out the clock. The strategy paid off as Fales drove the Spartans 75 yards for the tying TD as time expired in regulation.
Reynolds' 38-yard run with 7:06 left gave Navy a 31-30 lead and his free trip into the end zone covered 20 yards. Fales took the final snap of regulation at the 2-yard line with one second left and the clock running and found Kyle Nunn in the corner of the end zone and a wide-open Chandler Jones for the two-point conversion to force OT.
After the teams scored touchdowns in the first two overtimes, cornerback Parrish Gaines intercepted Fales in the end zone on third-and-goal. Reynolds bolted around left end on the next play for his record-setting TD and become the fourth quarterback in Navy history to rush for 1,000 yards and pass for 1,000 in a season.
