BALTIMORE -- The Army football team and its fans around the world can finally rejoice.No longer will they have to listen to barbs from Navy or lament another missed opportunity in the biggest game of the year.At long last, The Streak is over.Army ended a 14-year run of frustration against the Midshipmen, using an overpowering running game and opportunistic defense to carve out a long overdue 21-17 victory Saturday.With future commander in chief Donald Trump looking on, the Black Knights blew a 14-point lead before quarterback Ahmad Bradshaw scored on a 9-yard run with 6:42 left to give Army the win it had been waiting for since 2001.The Black Knights 14-game losing streak was the longest by either academy in a series that began in 1890. Army (7-5) now trails 60-50-7 in one of the nations historic rivalries.We heard for a long time here at West Point about the streak and all that, Army coach Jeff Monken said. It feels good to be a part of the team that put that to an end.Navy (9-4) was coming off a physical 34-10 loss to Temple in the American Athletic Conference title game and had only one week to prepare for Army with a new quarterback, sophomore Zach Abey, who was making his first college start. Abey took over Will Worth, who broke his foot against Temple.Abey ran for two touchdowns but passed for only 89 yards and was intercepted twice. Navy had four turnovers, three in the first half.I take a lot of responsibility for the game, Abey said. Obviously, in the first half I made some bad decisions. I feel horrible for the seniors.This senior class at Navy has accounted for 37 wins, most ever at the Academy over a four-year period. But theyll never forget this defeat.It hurts a little bit. It hurts a lot a bit, senior receiver Jamir Tillman said. We will take this loss into the offseason and use this as inspiration and run with it.That was a mantra chanted by the Black Knights for the past 14 years. Not anymore.Im just happy for our seniors, Monken said. The sense of pride that theyll have to go on, having beaten Navy, having beaten our biggest rival in their senior year. Its great for everybody in that locker room. I want them to enjoy it.By halftime, Army led 14-0 and owned a 14-1 advantage in first downs.After watching from the Navy side of the field before halftime, Trump visited the TV booth on the Army side in the third quarter. The interview with the president-elect coincided with a big shift in momentum.In the second half we made some adjustments, and those helped us out pretty well, Navy defensive end Amos Mason said.Andy Davidson lost a fumble on the Black Knights first possession of the second half and the Midshipmen recovered at the Army 32. A screen pass for 16 yards set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Abey to get Navy to 14-7.Minutes later, the Midshipmen got a field goal after a replay overturned a lost fumble by Abey at the Army 11.A 41-yard touchdown run by Abey gave Navy the lead with 12:42 remaining. But Army wasnt done.The Black Knights put together a 12-play, 80-yard drive that lasted nearly seven minutes and ended with Bradshaws TD.It was a great feeling, the junior quarterback said. I cant describe it. It just felt amazing. Our team worked really hard for this to happen today.Bradshaw went 2 for 4 for 35 yards and an interception in Armys first win in Baltimore since 1944.Davidson ran for 87 yards and two first-half scores, and Kell Walker carried 16 times for 94 yards.NEVER QUITSome teams might fold after letting a two-touchdown lead vanish. Not Army.When they took the lead 17-14 ... maybe some teams get that look in their eye of doubt, or concern, Monken said. But I think our guys just knuckled down and were determined that they were going to win.FAREWELL, VERNEThis was the final game in the broadcasting career of 76-year-old Verne Lundquist. He was cheered by the crowd during a live shot on the scoreboard.THE TAKEAWAYArmy: The Black Knights appear to be on the upswing under Monken, now in his third season. Theyre headed to a bowl game and have a victory over Navy to celebrate.Navy: The Midshipmen are staggering to the end of the season after a 9-2 start. The loss to Temple was tough to take, but this was much, much worse.UP NEXTArmy: The Black Knights meet North Texas in the Heart of Dallas Bowl, Armys first postseason action since 2010.Navy: The Midshipmen face Louisiana Tech in the Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 23.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Sprinter Tyson Gay has a new coach and a longer beard to go with a new attitude: He doesnt really care what people think about him.Behind that tough exterior, though, masks the pain of having to hand back his only Olympic medal. A doping violation cost him and all his relay teammates the silver medal from the 2012 London Games.A career full of missed chances, close calls, untimely injuries and that stripped-away medal is nearing its end. The man who used to be considered the biggest threat to Usain Bolt is now often viewed as a bit player in the sprint game. Fine with him, the American 100-meter record holder insists. Hes making one last run at the Olympics, doing it for himself, his family, his fans and nobody else.This could restore things for me in my heart, Gay said on the eve of the preliminaries of 100 meters at the Olympic trials. I lost something when I gave that medal back. The people closest to me, they know how bad I want that medal. Anyone on the outside? I dont really care.For the first time in quite a while, the 33-year-old Gay has no aches or pains. Well, maybe a little knee soreness, but thats about it, as he tries to earn an Olympic spot in the 100 and 200. Since becoming the American record holder in 2009, Gays body has betrayed him. Hes gone through groin and hip surgeries over the years to keep him on the track.He fully believes he can keep up with the likes of Justin Gatlin, who is a few months older than him, and Trayvon Bromell, the up-and-comer in the field.Im considered the old one, Gay said. Im going to go out there and give it my best, let it all hang.Hes accepted that his past doping problem will now be part of the permanent record. Gay received a one-year ban in 2013 for testing positive for a steroid precursor DHEA -- a penalty that was reduced because he provided information that led to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agencys case against his former coach, Jon Drummond.The key thing to that is putting the past in the past and showing people you can always persevere, especially when you make mistakes in life, said Gay, who is the second-fastest man in history, thanks to his 9.69-second 100 at a 2009 meet in Shangghai (Bolts world record is 9.dddddddddddd58 and Yohan Blake tied Gays mark in 2012). I dont get a lot of hate mail, or any of that type of thing. (Fans) allow me to forget about it for the most part.Bolt called him out, though, intimating Gay shouldve been suspended for life. Although Gatlin has a doping past as well, Bolt has been harsher toward Gay, possibly because he was Bolts biggest rival for so many years.Doesnt bother Gay.USADA did their investigation and understood everything wasnt intentional, Gay said. But (Bolt) is entitled to his own opinion. Im moving forward, man. Just continue to do what I do, not worry about what no one else says.Hes reached out to Drummond, with the two sharing a text over a family matter. Drummond, the former track star and longtime coach, got hit with an eight-year doping ban after arbitrators found a series of discussions concluded with Drummond convincing Gay to take the banned substance, and carrying it to Europe for him.People are in situations and do certain things, said Gay, who has a son who is almost 2 and a teenage daughter. At the end of the day, I cant sit here and hold a grudge and beat myself up. Thats all I would do, if I didnt let go.These days, Gay is working with longtime coach John Smith, who partnered with him about a year and a half ago. The two are smoothing out his starts, which have sometimes stood in Gays way. Theyve recently discovered something, Smith said.On Tuesday, his first start at practice and Im like, `Where did that come from? Smith recounted. He got better and better and better. Hes a gamer. He knows how to go for it. Thats what I love about him.Hes older. Hes injury-free. Hes been scarred up for the last four years, coupled with all the other publicity he had that I dont have to expound on. This is motivational for him, to go out and prove to himself and to the rest of the public ... hes still here.Indeed, Gay still is.Its been a rough three years, Gay said. But I would say Im almost at peace. After I make this team, then Ill be all the way there. ' ' '
