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.
