Temple 27, Navy 24 at 2:41 in 4th

Posted: October 31, 6:34 pm | (permalink) | (1 comments)

Navy's inability to move the ball on offense has cost it the lead. The Midshipmen managed just one first down on straight possessions, repeatedly putting pressure on the defense to get a stop.

The defense crumbled at the worst possible time. Temple drove 59 yards in just four plays to score the go-ahead touchdown with just 2:41 remaining. Tailback Bernard Pierce broke loose for a 41-yard scoring run on third-and-four.

Pierce is absolutely killing Navy, having rushed for 267 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries.
