Colvin had an amazing 1st half going 18 of 19... until we got greedy and tried to score late in the half. He underthrew a pass, they intercepted it and got a nice return. Then, Navy's option broke us down and they had a 31 yard run for a TD. We were still up 16-14 but they get the ball for the 2nd half. So, we decided to try to strike again quickly with 21 seconds left. 2 incompletes before I completed 2 deep passes. Alas, we were stopped on the 1 yard line as time expired in the half...
Navy got the ball to start the 2nd half and ate up 3:30 before settling for a FG but we injured their QB on their last run of the half. He has been hurting us on the ground. 17-16 lead for them.
Colvin responded with a perfect drive ending with a 2 yard run, but he got hurt when he dove for the endzone. We lead 23-17.
Navy's backup QB was even faster and more pesky. I was glad when their starter returned in the 4th quarter. But, they are driving down the field thanks to their backup QB's running...
We reinjure their starter and their backup! Wow. That helps us stop their offense. But, we get the news that Colvin is done for the day due to a concussion. Can our backup milk the clock?
Our running game and short controlled passes eat up most of the 4th quarter clock and end with a TD to our star TE. 30-17.
We beat Navy by a final score of 30-17
Colvin was the player of the day. Despite getting injured and only playing 3 quarters, he finished with a nice stat line: 25 of 28 passing for 297 yards with 2 TD's and 1 INT. He also scrambled for 1 TD.
