Army and Navy are meeting in Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon. Offense has been at a premium in the first half, with Navy only managing a field goal.
Army took a 7-3 lead into halftime, though, based on the strength of its special teams. The Black Knights’ only touchdown came on a blocked punt.
As you can see below, no one stopped Noah Short as he sped in at the Navy punter and blocked the kick. Jabril Williams recovered the ball in the end zone:

The first half featured exactly 0 passing yards, but not for a lack of trying. Navy went 0-for-2 on pass plays, while Army went 0-for-5.
