Blake Horvath Injury: Navy QB to Miss Notre Dame Clash
Blake Horvath, the Navy Midshipmen’s starting quarterback, will miss the upcoming game against Notre Dame due to injury. The game is scheduled for November 8. Horvath sustained an upper-body injury during a match against North Texas on November 1. His absence is a significant setback for Navy as they face the No. 10 ranked Fighting Irish.
Blake Horvath’s Performance This Season
Horvath has been a key player for Navy, showcasing impressive dual-threat abilities. This season, he has accumulated:
- 926 rushing yards
- 13 rushing touchdowns
- 1,143 passing yards
- 7 passing touchdowns
- 5 interceptions
His dynamic playing style has made him one of the standout quarterbacks in college football. However, his recent upper-body injury has forced him out of action temporarily.
Game-Time Decision and Replacement
Initially considered a game-time decision, it has now been confirmed that Horvath will not participate in the game against Notre Dame. Braxton Woodson will take the helm as the starting quarterback in Horvath’s absence. This change in the lineup adds uncertainty to Navy’s game plan against a highly ranked opponent.
Future Outlook
Although Horvath’s injury is significant, reports indicate it is not expected to be long-term. There is a possibility he could return for Navy’s next game against South Florida. Fans and teammates will be watching closely as they hope for his swift recovery.
As Navy prepares for the challenge ahead, the focus will shift to how they adapt without their star quarterback. The team will need to rally and execute a solid game plan to overcome the obstacles they face in this crucial matchup.
