Navy: 3rd Quarter Live Blog

3rd Quarter

14:54...Navy fullback Ketani goes and gets 18 or so yards on 1st down. Can't let him break out like that.

13:28...Jared Bryant runs all the way to our 12 on 3rd down. Like I said, there offense is still scary with him at the helm.

13:04...Touchdown on 1st down from the 12 with the option pitch. Poor tackling on the play, but nonetheless a great pitch by Bryant and a good run to boot. Offense must keep up the hard work. Wake still leads, but now only 27-24.

13:04...Pooch kick gets hung up in the wind...Wake fair catch at their own 40. I like our field position for the most part today.

12:50...Josh Adams with a 13 yard run on 2nd down to Navy's 47. The man can run the football.

12:13...JOSH ADAMS! Great stiff arm and another 22 yards, plus a late hit out of bounds to get half the distance to the goal , we should be on the 10, 1st down.

11:15...After 2 runs from Josh Adams, Micah Andrews comes in and gets the 2 yard touchdown. Great drive by Wake, that's the kind drive we need to keep putting together. 34-24 Wake after the Swank extra point.

8:50...Matt Woodlief, great hit in the backfield on 2nd down. 3rd and long from their own 42.

8:12...It's inconsistent, but Navy's moving the ball with the pass. Another 1st down, now at our 40.

7:35...Navy fumbles!!! Wake's ball on the recovery at the 20...but its going under review. The replays look like a fumble to me. Can't be overturned I don't think.

6:54...The plays where we don't go anywhere on the ground are the plays where our O-line gives up significant penetration. I know it seems obvious, but that is absolutely the thing that makes the difference.

4:36...We've got a good looking driving going down towards Navy's 35. Micah needs to not hesitate when he hits that hole. The space was there but it looked like he was dancing in there. Here comes Swank for a 53 yard field goal.

3:55...Swank drills it low and straight. Wake up 37-24.

2:56...Another forced fumble, and even though we didn't pick it up I like to see us working on getting that football. Also, great coverage by Chip Vaughn. Should have been picked off I think, as now Navy gets the 1st down on the ground.

2:33...Wake falls on the fumbled snap!!!! Another turnover for the Deacs, first down on Navy's 39.

1:25... I've really been impressed by the way we've created first downs today. I love it when we don't have to rely on huge plays to win games. Lots of extended drives and taking 3 plays to get good first down makes me a very happy blogger.
