Army capitalized on a Navy fumble at the goal line to beat the Midshipmen 20-17 in double overtime on Saturday.
Navy’s Anton Hall Jr. fumbled just a yard away from the end zone on third down. The Black Knights recovered and simply played for a game-winning field goal. And Quinn Maretzki converted that 39-yard kick.
The game entered overtime at 10-10 after a four-quarter slugfest. It then was the total opposite in the first overtime as both teams scored TDs on their first plays. Army struck first with a 25-yard run by Markel Johnson. Navy’s Xavier Arline then hit Maquel Haywood out of the backfield for a 25-yard TD on its possession. The pass to Haywood was Navy’s first completion of the night.
The game was the first to go to overtime in the over 100-year history of the series. There were seven ties before overtime was introduced in college football in 1996. The win means Army finishes the season at 6-6 while Navy ends 2022 at 4-8. The Midshipmen beat Army in 2021 after Army had won four of the last five meetings. Navy's lead in the series is now down to 62-54-7.
