The Army-Navy college rivalry goes back to the earliest days of football as a sport in 1890 when they first played each other. These two teams have met every year on the grid iron since 1930.  This years game broke some records.  It was the first ever to go into overtime and the bets on the “Under” score went instead to the “Over” for the first time in 17 years.  Enjoy these behind-the-scenes pics of the 2022 Army-Navy game.
