so if you read it in the boxscore, your mind would conjure up a vision of Navy QB Kris Proctor dancin like a president in the end zone....tossin the football into the upper Deck and screaming "lookatme lookatme lookatme"......but the truth is far from that......make no mistake about it...i am NOT excusing him....his penalty cost us the game, and it is NOT the Navy way....but it was also quite tame (story below)......this is a rival game vs Air Force.....Navy trailed 21-3 at home and rallied back to force OT....Proctor barrels into the endzone for the go ahead touchdown, emotions are flaring in, he doesnt spike the ball....he doesn't do a dance, he doesn't throw a punch or remove his helmet, ...."He Says something"...and the Back Judge ?? is pretty sure it was #2............ok then.
After Kriss Proctor scored a one-yard touchdown in overtime to put Navy up 34-28, Proctor was flagged by back judge David Vaughan of the Big 12 for unsportsmanlike conduct. Navy was penalized 15 yards and then Air Force blocked Jon Teague's extra point.
Air Force scored on a Tim Jefferson one-yard run and Parker Herrington gave Air Force the win when he made the extra-point.
After the game Proctor was asked what he said.
"Some guy got in my way and I told him to move explicitly and he called it."
After the game the head referee, Mike Defee, talked to pool reporter Patrick Stevens of the Washington Times.
Q: What exactly was the specific call on that? What happened?
Mike Defee: The Navy player got in the face of an Air Force player right after the play.
Q: And which player was that?
Mike Defee: I think it was No. 2.
Q: And which official called it?
Mike Defee: It was the black judge.
