Quarterback Will Worth has been outstanding in the seven he’s played this season. Here’s a list of some of his many accomplishments courtesy of Scott Strasemeier at Navy Sports Information.
• Over the last six games, Navy quarterback Worth has rushed for 905 yards and 17 touchdowns, while throwing for 732 yards and six touchdowns.
• Worth has now rushed for more than 100 yards in seven games this year, including in each of the last six. His six-consecutive 100-yard rushing games are tied with Cleveland Cooper and Napoleon McCallum for the second most in school history and he is just one away from tying Brian Madden for the school record, while his seven total 100-yard rushing days is tied with Ricky Dobbs, Joe Gattuso Jr. and Kyle Eckel for the fifth most in school history and he is just one away from tying for the school record.
• Worth has scored a touchdown in every game this year. His 10-straight games with a rushing touchdown is the longest active streak in the country and is the second-longest streak in school history. He is just four behind record holder Keenan Reynolds.
• Worth’s 22 rushing touchdowns are tied with Boise State running backs Jeremy McNicholas for the most in the country and ranks fifth in Navy’s single-season touchdown list for both rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns.
• He is one rushing touchdown away from tying for the fifth most rushing touchdowns in a single-season by a quarterback in NCAA history. He trails Navy’s Keenan Reynolds (2014), Florida’s Tim Tebow (2007), Air Force’s Chance Harridge (2002) and Northern Illinois’ Jordan Lynch (2013) by one
• Worth is averaging 13.2 points per game, which is second in the country.
• Worth is averaging 11.7 passing yards per attempt (1,259 yards on 108 attempts), which if it holds up would shatter the school record.
• Worth has accounted for 174 points on the season (22 rushing TDs, seven passing TDs), which is tied for fifth in school history for points accounted for.
• Worth has compiled 2,333 yards of total offense so far this year (1,074 rushing and 1,259 yards passing) and is just 70 yards away from Keenan Reynolds (2013) for fifth on the all-time list.
• With 1,074 yards rushing and 1,259 yards passing, Worth is just the fifth player in school history (sixth time, Reynolds did it twice) to rush for 1,000 yards and pass for 1,000 yards in a season.
