RFC Throwback Thursday: The Army/Navy Game-1985

This week's installment of "RFC Throwback Thursday" turns the clock back to December 7, 1985. That was when the Army Cadets (now Black Knights) clashed with the Navy Midshipmen in the annual "Army/Navy Game", at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. Behind a near record-setting performance from running back Napoleon McCallum, Navy knocked off Army to finish an otherwise disappointing 1985 season at 4-7 overall. Meanwhile, Army would go to stun Illinois, 31-29, on New Year's Eve to win the Peach Bowl, and finish its season at 9-3 overall.
