After starting quarterback Tago Smith injured his right knee in the first half of Saturday's 52-16 victory against FCS opponent Fordham, the Midshipmen pulled freshman Malcolm Perry out of the stands.
Perry, listed as the team's No. 4 quarterback after preseason camp, was wearing his uniform whites while sitting in the brigade at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
