Navy rushes for 506 yards and defeats Towson 42-15 in season opener.

Navy dominated Towson 42-15 in their season opener, with running back Braxton Woodson putting on a rushing clinic. Woodson ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Midshipmen's ground attack, according to Yahoo Sports.
The Navy offense was nearly unstoppable on the ground. The Midshipmen racked up 506 rushing yards total, with 14 different players carrying the ball at least once, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Jackson Gutierrez added two more touchdowns to the ground game.
Woodson announced himself early with a 38-yard touchdown run on Navy's first drive, setting the tone for the game. Vic Listorti then added a 35-yard rushing touchdown to push the lead to 14-0 before the first quarter ended, according to Post Register.
Navy's offensive strategy was simple and effective: pound the ball on the ground. Fourteen players touched the ball as runners, spreading the workload across the roster. This approach left Towson's defense exhausted and unable to find answers, according to KDH News.
Towson's Andrew Indorf led some scoring drives with his passing. He connected with Aaron Enterline on a 48-yard touchdown pass and later hit Jacob Zollar with a 30-yard scoring pass. But the Tigers' offensive explosions came too late to catch Navy's powerful rushing attack, according to Messenger-Inquirer.
This dominant season-opening win could signal good things for Navy. The Midshipmen have made a bowl game the past six seasons when they start with a victory like this, according to SF Chronicle. Woodson and the ground game have given Navy a solid foundation to build on.
