Navy’s 2015 season opening football game against Colgate at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 5 will kick at 12 noon and will be televised live by CBS Sports Network.
Navy returns 11 starters (four on offense, six on defense and one specialist) and 46 lettermen (23 on offense, 21 on defense and two specialist) off last year’s team that went 8-5, beat Army for a record 13th-consecutive year and won a bowl game in consecutive years for just the second time in school history.
Navy returns record-setting quarterback and co-captain Keenan Reynolds, who enters his senior campaign with 64 career rushing touchdowns which is tied with Anthony Thompson (Indiana, 1986-89) and Cedric Benson (Texas, 2001-04) for the fourth most in NCAA history. The NCAA record is 77 set by Montee Ball (Wisconsin, 2009-12).
