so close...

In CASE all you hucksters who like to poke fun at Navy Football missed it yesterday, the MIDSHIPMEN went into the horseshoe and were within a two point conversion of tying the #6 Team in the nation in the closing minute. there are no moral victories, but I was very impressed with our offense and pleasantly surprised with our run defense, I will take solace in the fact that we can hang on the road against a BCS school.....we are getting there, a national Championship is eminent.


COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Brian Rolle intercepted a potential two-point conversion in the closing minutes and returned it for two points the other way, helping No. 6 Ohio State hold off Navy 31-27 on Saturday.

A crowd of 105,092 - the largest ever to see the Buckeyes open a season - sat in stunned silence after the Midshipmen scored twice in just over 4 minutes to cut a 29-14 deficit to two points with 2:23 left in the game.

Navy went for the conversion and the tie, but Rolle stepped in front of Ricky Dobbs' pass and rumbled up the sideline to preserve the win in the Midshipmen's first trip to Ohio Stadium since 1931
