The annual Army-Navy game is being played at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Halftime-Army 7, Navy 3
Army turned to quarterback Cade Ballard in place of Tyhier Tyler in the second quarter, and Ballard tried for a long pass to Ay’Jaun Marshall, but it was incomplete.
Navy’s Bijan Nichols tried for a 44-yard field goal and snuck it in inside the right upright to get Navy on the board for a 3-0 lead.
Army scored the first touchdown of the game with one minute remaining in the half with a blocked punt by Noah Short. Nathaniel Smith returned the ball for a 31-yard touchdown.
Navy has yet to complete a pass in the first half.
First quarter-Army 0, Navy 0
At the 15-minute point, the teams combined for 17 runs — a low-possession, no-score game.
Navy entered the game 7-for-7 on the fourth down in the previous four games but failed to capitalize on fourth down again versus Army.
Navy quarterback Xavier Arline rushed for 28 yards compared to Army’s Tyhier Tyler’s 5 yards on two carries.
It’s scoreless heading into the second quarter.
Let’s move the game around!
Really wish Army-Navy would truly embrace being America's Game and play it all over the country, rather than just the northeast.
I know there are logistical issues with that but so many Americans would love to attend this game and so few get to do so.
