The time honored tradition takes place every time the Black Knights score. A plebe (military speak for freshman) is hoisted above his fellow cadets’ heads and does one pushup for each point scored. During Saturday’s 112th Army versus Navy game, the plebes did 21 pushups, however it was not enough as Navy beat their rivals 27-21. The Navy victory was the 10th win in a row over the Black Knights, a win witnessed by the commander in chief, President Obama.
