In Annapolis today, Air Force and Navy met on “the fields of friendly strife.” With 10:00 left in the game, Air Force led 28-10, having more or less dominated play for the first 50 minutes. With 2:09 left, the Falcons still led 28-17. Then Navy nailed a must-make 37-yard field goal, recovered the ensuing onside kick, scored a touchdown on 3^rd-and-goal with 0:19 left, and made the subsequent 2-point conversion on an option pitch just inside the left pylon: 28-28, overtime.

Air Force won the toss and chose to play defense. Navy, now with all the momentum, scored a touchdown on quarterback Kriss Proctor’s quarterback sneak to take a 6-point lead in overtime. But a dead-ball personal foul was called on Proctor, who, in a moment of overzealousness, bumped and said something to an Air Force player immediately following the score. Air Force junior linebacker Alex Means then got his left hand up and blocked Navy’s 35-yard extra-point attempt. The score remained: Navy 34, Air Force, 28.
