FILE - In this Nov. 3, 2012 file photo, Army quarterback Trent Steelman (8) runs past Air Force linebacker Alex Means (9) for a touchdown during the first half of an NCAA college football game in West Point, N.Y. Steelman has a host of records at West Point but would trade them all for a victory on Saturday in the 113th game against archrival Navy. A win in the final game of Steelman&#8217;s Army career would give the Black Knights possession of the Commander In Chief&#8217;s Trophy, emblematic of supremacy among the three service academies. Army hasn&#8217;t won the coveted hardware since 1996. (AP Photo/Mike Groll, File)
