BLAKE HORVATH NEWS

Leaves Saturday's game Horvath (back/ribs) left Saturday's 35-0 loss to Tulane, Gene Wang of The Washington Post reports. He had five rushes for 25 yards prior to his exit.

Impact Horvath was managing sore ribs and back spasms heading into Saturday's game and the two ailments flared up in the first quarter. He left the game and made a brief return in the second quarter before leaving the game for good. Although the Midshipmen offense had not done much with Horvath in the game, it completely shut down with Braxton Woodson under center. If Horvath is forced to miss the next game -- at East Carolina on Nov. 29 -- the value of every Midshipmen offensive player will decrease significantly.

Solid in win over USF Horvath completed 6 of 11 passes for 58 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-7 win against South Florida. He also had 19 rushes for 56 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Horvath did not light up the stat sheet Saturday, but he did enough to end the Midshipmen's two-game losing streak. He tossed his 11th touchdown of the season but threw for just 58 yards, by far his lowest this season. He added an inefficient 56 yards on the ground, but scored his 13th rushing touchdown of the season to make up for it. He faces a difficult and very important matchup versus Tulane next.

Another excellent outing Horvath completed 9 of 11 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 41-18 win versus UAB. He also had 13 rushes for 84 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Horvath continued his excellent run of form Saturday as he accounted for three touchdowns and set a season high with 225 yards through the air.

It was the third time in four games that he has threw multiple touchdowns. He also added 84 yards on the ground and scored his eighth rushing touchdown of the season. Not only is he efficient and productive in the passing game, but he is also putting up elite production on the ground and is averaging nearly 10 yards per carry. There is no reason to believe he won't keep producing at this level, with the possible exception of the Week 9 outing versus Notre Dame.

He also had his second straight game with over 100 passing yards, 98 of which went to Eli Heidenreich.

Solid in season opener Horvath completed 7 of 12 passes for 108 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 49-21 victory over Bucknell. He also had seven rushes for 33 yards.

Impact Horvath put together a strong performance to start the 2024 season as he threw for over 100 yards and tossed two touchdowns. He won the starting job over Braxton Woodson during the offseason, but Woodson played most of the second half with the game out of hand. While Horvath will not be one of the most productive passers in the country, his 12 attempts -- added with Woodson's seven -- show that the Midshipmen may throw the ball a bit more this season.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as starting QB for Week 1 Horvath will be the Navy's starting quarterback Saturday against Bucknell, according to their depth chart updated Sunday.

Impact As early as spring, Horvath was ahead of Braxton Woodson in the race to be Navy's starting quarterback, so them selecting the former as their QB1 for Saturday should not surprise all that much. During 2023, he completed half of his 12 passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns. Horvath should be able to improve from that year in 2024.
