ESPN RECAP

Navy uses last-minute TD to beat Air Force 48-45

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- For all its misdeeds in a very meaningful game, Navy found a way to come away with an emotional victory in thrilling fashion. Zach Abey threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Carmona with 15 seconds left, and the unbeaten Midshipmen defeated Air Force 48-45 Saturday after blowing a 21-point lead in the second half. "I don't know why I am so blessed to coach these guys," coach Ken Niumatalolo said, his eyes welling with moisture. "Just proud of our players: their resolve, their grit, their perseverance." Despite allowing five touchdowns after halftime, Navy (5-0) took a huge step toward regaining possession of the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, awarded annually to the team with the most wins in games between Army, Navy and Air Force. Air Force won it last season after beating Navy 28-14.
