Daily News | More than just a kicker: Midshipmen’s co-captain prepares for his final Army-Navy game
One of Navy’s burly offensive linemen was talking recently about teammate Bijan Nichols, one of the most distinctive co-captains in team history.
“When we work out, he beats the skill guys in runs,” explained Kip Frankland, Navy’s right tackle. “When we work out, he lifts more than they do. When we run long distances, he’s the first guy there. Obviously, he’s kicked the big kicks. He’s close to breaking scoring records for our team. But he’s just a great leader.”
Punter Bob Bowstrom in 1930 is thought to be the only other specialist to be a captain for the Midshipmen. Nichols needs 10 points on Saturday to become the school’s all-time leading scorer, a mark he would easily have had if not for the injury. Bennett Moehring is No. 1 with 222 points. After the mission, crews proceeded “south to the better service Academy along the Severn River after completing Operation Black Knight Falling.”Army is 5-6, but won’t be going to a bowl game, either. One of the Black Knights’ victories was against Villanova, an FCS team, so they’re not going to have enough wins against FBS teams.
