(AP) — Quarterback Tai Lavatai ran for two touchdowns and Navy’s defense limited Army to 57 second-half yards in the second half in a 17-13 victory in a game played at the Meadowlands to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Navy (4-8) played a complete game, outgaining Army (8-4) on  the ground and overall, controlling the clock and converting all three big plays, two on fourth down, that led to all its points.
