Returning home with a 2-1 record, the Mids trailed by 14 late in the fourth quarter before a touchdown pass from Keenan Reynolds to Brendan Dudeck cut the Rutgers lead to seven.
With 10 seconds to go, a fourth down jump ball pass from Reynolds to Jamir Tillman was caught out of bounds, turning the ball over to Rutgers and ending any comeback bid.
Navy amassed 402 yards of total offense in uncharacteristic fashion with only 171 of it coming on the ground in this triple option offense.
The Midshipmen will take on Western Kentucky at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium next Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
