Navy may have just done what was necessary to win this game. Punter Kyle Delahooke delivered another great punt that pinned Delaware back at its own 12-yard line. Navy's defense then stopped the visitors on three downs and forced a punt, which Mario Washington returned to midfield.

    On first down, quarterback Ricky Dobbs broke loose for a 46-yard run that was the longest of his career. Two plays later, Dobbs followed the fullback into the end zone for his 20th rushing touchdown of the season. That tied the single-season school record for that category, set by quarterback Chris McCoy in 1997.
