ANNAPOLIS, Md. » Zerbin Singleton scored three touchdowns, backup quarterback Jarod Bryant ran for 139 yards and a score, and Navy got an uncharacteristic solid performance from its defense in a 35-24 victory over Northern Illinois yesterday.
It was the third straight win for the Midshipmen (7-4), who have already accepted a bid from the Poinsettia Bowl.
After surrendering an average of 50.8 points in its last five games, Navy allowed only 10 points after halftime.
Playing in place of injured quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada, Bryant carried 27 times and was 3-for-6 for 60 yards. Singleton finished with 101 yards rushing, and his three TDs gave him six in two games.
Justin Anderson carried 39 times for 140 yards and a touchdown for the Huskies (2-9).
