A record crowd at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium saw Navy secure just one first down in the first three quarters of a 17-6 loss to rival Air Force.
Navy quarterback Braxton Woodson is hit by Air Force linebacker Alec Mock during the first half Saturday in Annapolis. The Navy football team’s aspirations of claiming the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy for the first time since 2019 fizzled during an error-filled, 17-6 loss to No. 22 Air Force on Saturday afternoon at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, with two quarterbacks combining for one of the Midshipmen’s least productive performances of the season.
Woodson became the sixth freshman to start at quarterback for Navy and the first since Xavier Arline in 2020. Arline was the third-string quarterback Saturday behind Woodson and Lavatai, who aggravated a rib injury in the Midshipmen’s first series of last weekend’s 14-0 win at Charlotte. Woodson played the rest of the way against the 49ers and took reps with the first team in practice this past week.
“They’re a physical team,” Woodson said. “We prepared all week. We knew that they were going to be physical. It just didn’t go in our favor.”Both teams labored through the first half, save for the lone scoring play. Backed up at their 6, the Falcons got a 94-yard touchdown pass from Zac Larrier to wide receiver Dane Kinamon early in the second quarter for the longest play from scrimmage in Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium history.
