USAFA vs. USNA

2032: Even though we steal the ball from Navy twice, we can’t punch it in. So Navy drives the length of the field and scores. Thats a losing formula.

2036: It looks like our offense is cracking. Get one or two good plays before the Navy D-Line just pwns our O-Line. Leads directly to the interception Cahney just threw.

2039: Herbstreet is predicting a huge play against our secondary, which has always been a weakness. At least we just stopped them on 3rd and 9. Navy has bad kicker, so we’ll see if they go for it. 4th and 10. Going for it. Completes a flippin LOB pass for 11 yards. dang it. OMW. stupid secondary can’t even tackle to stop a 15 yd run. Now they are just pushing the fullback straight through. Penalty against Navy on the goalline, 5 yd cushion. Back down to the 1. TD. we suck

2053: Our best plays are passes, but General DeBerry won’t recognize that. “Up the middle, up the left, pass.” Cahney just hung onto the ball too long. Yes, now we are just pissing away our timeouts, barely got the 1 yd on 4th down. 26 seconds left. Throw it AWAY! Now, not to the damn other team…

2126: 2nd Half, we give up a huge runback on the kickoff. Fortunately, we force 3 and out…

2128: Our ball again, lets get some points biznatches. Getting an illegal block called on you is not the way to do it. Passing is a good idea, except you have to catch the ball when you are wide open. Maybe it’s ‘cos our WRs/TEs spend so much time blocking for the run… run run run punt. Or not, thanks Navy for roughing the kicker. Guess we can do it right once or twice. FOLLOW YOUR BLOCKERS. 3rd and inches. Fullback punch. $%#@%$#@%#$@#$ Stupid Carney, 14 yd loss. And he picks up 19, we are just schizo. Holding against us is BAD. And now we hold again. 3rd and 24. Look out for the surprise RUN UP THE FUCKING MIDDLE. Our fullbacks are averaging 4 yards a run and you send them up the middle? DeBerry, you are an ass.

2144: We’ve got them back inside the 20. Holding on Navy is nice. We just got gypped on a clear fumble. Looks like we are holding them to 3 and out.

2150: Run to the left. Run to the middle. Sack. Beats DeBerry doll with stick

2155: We’re sticking them again. 3 and out, with some good tackling this half. Now if the offense could just give our defense a rest by moving the ball and scoring…

2157: Nice line drive punt, 63 yards according to the heads. YES YES NOOOOOOOOO. Long bomb, no hands. OMW, they actually passed on consecutive downs. Nasty sack to close out the third quarter. Overthrown ball to open the 4th. Run up the middle on 3rd and long. Herbstreet says they have to stop asking why they aren’t passing on the long thirds, and thinks AF is basically waving the white flag on those downs and trying to play field position.

2204: Navy is going to try and run the clock down on us. We’ll how well they can do that with 14 min left… Good D cut off on the pitch left. Batted the ball down on 3rd down, squids punt again. We get a much better runback.

2209: Let’s see what we do with good field position, starting at our 45. 1st down pass for 8 yds. Cahney runs for 3 and 1st down. 4yd lateral. Fullback up middle, 4yds again. #$^$# Huge loss, what’s the flag, please be on the D… sumbiatch. chop block on O. 4th down.

2215: Looks like the D is coming through again, we’ll see if it matters at all. Whew, close call, good pressure but they almost allowed a long pass to go for first down.

2217: The Navy punter is a f’n BEAST. Pins us inside the ten. Run left for short yardage. Cahney for almost a first, 3rd and short. Fullback to get the 6 inches. WE’RE SO LUCKY!!!!! Cahney just threw into the tightest double coverage I have ever seen, and our guy snagged it. Another throw on 1st, 8 yards. Run into the end zone, we need the 2 point conversion to tie. MADE IT, cadinks are going nuts, as are we!!!!!!

2226: Navy underthrows on first down, would’ve gone for long yardage. Sweet, 9/10 yard sack on 2nd down. Damnit. 66 yard pass. :( Fullback for 9 yards. Fullback, close to first down… 1st and goal. Fullback went on four legs to pick up 4 yds. 2 more yards up the middle. Walks it in on the right side. Navy regains lead, 21-14. 4:15 to play.

2235: Kickoff. Touchback. Throw on 1st, goes for 1st down. Fullback runs for 10. Fullback stopped. Flip pass for 16 yards. Option left for 7 yards, he gets out of bounds to stop clock. Cahney rolls right, passes for another first down. Pass to the left, Messerall catches it (he’s been the workhorse), but he’s hurt, looks like his knee got mad torqued during the tackle. 1st down, but a weapon is gone. Waller catches the pass up the middle for a TD!! 21-21, 2:21 to play.

2245: Incredible shot of dorky Navy middy, sucks to be him… Navy gets the ball on their 25. Throws for a first on the 40. %$^#, Navy runs it up the flippin middle to the AF 29. Fullback then to 16. Runnning it into the middle of the field for the kicker. Please let him miss, he’s 0-4 this year….. We’re trying to ice him by calling timeout at the last possible second… Cadinks are doing the “AIR…. FORCE….” chant…. They’re lining up again, we nail him with a time out. sticks a pin in the voodoo doll Maybe we won’t call time this time to psych him out? FUCK. He made it.

I’m going to go drink. TWO consecutive losses to the freaking squids.
