After completing final exams, the Navy football team practiced yesterday for the first time since beating Army on Dec. 2, and the Midshipmen agreed on two things.

Boston College (9-3) earned a bowl berth for a school-record eighth straight year with junior quarterback Matt Ryan leading the way with a first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference performance. Ryan has thrown for 2,700 yards and 14 touchdowns and has completed 61.1 percent of his attempts. He has thrown just eight interceptions in 398 passes.
