Baltimore, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - The final game of the 2014 regular season is the classic Army-Navy matchup, played this year at M&T Bank Stadium. The Black Knights will be closing up shop no matter what the outcome of this, the 115th edition of the battle between the Academies. Army won just twice through the first eight games of the season, defeating Buffalo and Ball State, but the team showed some resiliency in the last several weeks by posting two victories in three chances. The squad took down UConn by a score of 35-21 the second week of November, and then closed out the month with a 42-31 triumph over Fordham at home. The Black Knights failed to win a single true road game, but the good news is that the squad did squeeze out a neutral-site triumph over the Huskies. As for the Midshipmen, they already have plans made for the postseason, facing off against San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 23 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego regardless of the outcome of this meeting. Heading to the postseason for the 11th time since 2003, Navy enters this meeting one game over .500 thanks to a narrow 42-40 victory over South Alabama on the road on Nov. 28. In terms of the series between these two programs, Navy is ahead by a count of 58-49-7, thanks in large part to a 12-game win streak that stretches back to 2002 for the Midshipmen. Last season, Navy delivered a 34-7 win in Philadelphia. In games played in Baltimore, the Knights have managed to split four encounters, but at this particular facility, Navy is 2-0, with the most recent win being a 38-3 thrashing back in 2007. The last win for Army took place in 2001 as the team secured a 26-17 final at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Both of these teams rely heavily on running the football, but Navy has managed to add some passing to the mix thanks to quarterback Keenan Reynolds. The signal caller has thrown five TDs this season, against three interceptions, to at least give defenses reason to cover receivers when they do appear on the field. But make no mistake, Reynolds is a run-first quarterback who has become one of the best at his position in that mode. With three rushing touchdowns against South Alabama, Reynolds set an NCAA record for rushing scores by a quarterback with 60, with 20 of those coming this year alone. The MVP in each of the last two Army-Navy battles, Reynolds has also set the NCAA mark for the most games (12) with at least three rushing TDs, passing Montee Ball of Wisconsin. Ranked first in the nation in rushing with 357.8 ypg, the Midshipmen have nine players who have gained at least 100 yards this season, three with at least 500 yards as Reynolds leads the way with his 1,082 yards on 205 attempts over the course of nine games. Noah Copeland contributes another 78.1 ypg, averaging better than eight yards per carry, and landing in the end zone five times. Out on the edges, Jamir Tillman and Brendan Dudeck both have a pair of receiving scores, the former registering 18 receptions for 338 yards in an effort to keep defenses honest. On the defensive side of the ball, Navy is giving up 426.2 ypg (86th in the nation), with a good portion of those yards coming on the ground (199.8 ypg), which ranks the squad 96th in the country. Jordan Drake paces the program with 85 tackles, while Parrish Gaines has picked off three passes and Bernard Sarra has been credited with three blocked kicks, something the Black Knights need to keep in mind. Another aspect of the game that Navy has excelled at this season is in the area of penalties. A disciplined group for sure, the Midshipmen are first in the nation in both fewest penalties per game (2.27) and yards assessed (23.4 ypg). Navy will be tasked with slowing down an Army rushing attack which is fifth in the nation with 305.5 ypg. Considering the Black Knights are dead last in the FBS with a mere 64.5 ypg through the air, the Midshipmen should be able to load the box and attack the line of scrimmage. Quarterback Angel Santiago, who has taken the majority of the snaps for the Academy this season, has completed 51.5 percent of his pass attempts for a meager 44.4 ypg and a single TD, against one interception. Unlike Navy, the Knights go to the air only when they absolutely have to. Instead, Santiago has taken off for a team-high 182 runs, leading to 793 yards and a team-best 10 touchdowns, his scoring total one ahead of Larry Dixon who is averaging 5.8 yards per carry on 177 attempts, leading to a team-high 1,028 yards. Another legitimate threat is Terry Baggett who, during the 2013 campaign raced for 304 yards and four touchdowns in a huge win over Eastern Michigan. He hasnt had a break-out game anywhere near that since, but you never know when he could get into a groove for the Black Knights. Should Army threaten to go to the air at any point this weekend, Edgar Poe would be a safe bet having caught a team-best 10 passes for 199 yards and a score, although Xavier Moss had even better results on his six grabs in 11 games, finding his way into the end zone twice. The fact that the Knights rank 119th in the country in pass efficiency defense, with a rating of 154.88, it only makes sense that Navy would try to exploit that weakness. Jeremy Timpf, who leads the Knights in tackles with 102 and is first with 14.0 stops for loss, will do all he can to slow down the opposition, but it might be an uphill battle. Josh Jenkins (60 tackles) and Chris Carnegie (51 tackles) have combined with Timpf to account for 10 interceptions, but that aspect of the game will provide opportunities that are few and far between.

While he lets his agent do that leg work, the legendary goaltender keeps working out and skating as much as he can in the hopes that his NHL career isnt over.More than a month into the season, Brodeur is 42 and without a job. But he hasnt given up.I dont want to cheat myself on any opportunities, Brodeur said Monday night before the Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony. I still have the fire, Id like to play again, but its understandable with the quality of goaltending around the league. The youth of the quality of goaltending is pretty tremendous. Well see if my experience is valued to an organization or not.Brodeur is the all-time leader in wins (68 and shutouts (124) and won three Stanley Cups with the New Jersey Devils (1995, 2000 and 2003). He posted save percentages of .901 the past two seasons, split time with Cory Schneider his final year in New Jersey and left as a free agent over the summer.No team signed Brodeur on July 1 when free agency opened, and when he was asked how close he got to a contract, the Montreal native quipped: Depends what you mean close. Im still here, so it wasnt that close.Brodeur conceded his wait for another opportunity was getting a little long but insisted hell stay ready. In the mean time, he has been travelling, spending time with his children and watching games.One thing Brodeur isnt interested in is playing for Canada at the upcoming Spengler Cup.I have some conversations, but right now thats not my goal is to play around Christmastime in Switzerland, thats for sure, Brodeur said.As for NHL chances, Brodeur said the teams he might be interested in playing for and those who want him might be different. But the career starter is not going to be picky about being a starter again.Im willing to play in any kind of role that would be offered to me to a certain extent, in the right fit and in the right market, Brodeur said. For me, its not about ego orr anything.ddddddddddddI just love to play the game, and I know I can help the team out somehow. I just want to try and get an opportunity. The role will be the role that will be assigned to me.Its hard to envision a perfect scenario for Brodeur. There already seems to be a surplus of goaltending, with the Minnesota Wild waiving Josh Harding and other previous backups like Jacob Markstrom, Dan Ellis, Kevin Poulin and Peter Budaj are under contract in the minors.Schneider has started the first 18 games of the season for the Devils, who have alternated veteran Scott Clemmensen and rookie Keith Kinkaid as his backup. Its a much different world for a franchise that handed the reins to Brodeur for two decades.Along with Brodeur, Ilya Bryzgalov and Tomas Vokoun are without jobs and could be more attractive options because theyre younger. Bryzgalov had a bit of a revitalization last year with the Wild and went to camp with them before getting released.Brodeur never got that far, and its difficult for him to stay in playing shape while getting ice time three or four times a week and practising with a couple of shooters at a time. But dont mistake that for an unwillingness to play right away if a team comes calling.It depends, it depends the situation youre in, Brodeur said. If you need a goalie tomorrow, that could be a tough one, but, hey, Im willing to do it. It doesnt matter. Ive done it before. Ive came back from injury without playing for four or five months and jumped right in it.Standing on the red carpet before the 2014 Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Brodeur didnt play into the talk about his own night potentially being a few years away.Thats the greatest honour you can have as a hockey player is to be part of this, he said. Its something that if it happens will be an awesome feeling.Reminded that if he plays this year, it backs up his eligibility by a year, Brodeur smiled.Thats all right, he said. Thats no big deal.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter ' ' '
