Navy football quarterback Blake Horvath will reportedly miss the Midshipmen’s game against Notre Dame on Saturday, Nov. 8, according to multiple reports.
Horvath, one of the best dual-threat signal-callers in college football this season, was considered a game-time decision due to an upper-body injury he suffered against North Texas last week, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Horvath, a second-year starter, has 926 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns this season in Navy’s run-heavy scheme. He has also passed for 1,143 yards with seven touchdowns to five interceptions.
Braxton Woodson will start for Navy, per Thamel. Here’s what to know of Horvath’s injury:
Blake Horvath injury update
Horvath will reportedly miss Navy-Notre Dame due to an upper-body injury he suffered against North Texas on Nov. 1.
The star dual-threat quarterback’s injury isn’t considered long-term, according to Thamel, and there’s a chance he returns for Navy’s game against South Florida next week. Horvath’s absence is a significant blow to Navy’s chances against No. 10 Notre Dame.
Horvath completed 8 of 14 passes for 80 yards and two interceptions in a 31-17 loss vs. the Mean Green, adding 19 carries for 112 yards and a score.
