In the last 40 years, Navy has started the year with two BCS opponents just eight times and only twice (2005 and 1982) did Navy go on to have a winning record. Navy lost to Maryland in Baltimore and at home against Stanford to start the 2005 season and finished 8-4 and beat Virginia and lost to Arkansas in Little Rock in 1982 and finished 6-5. The Navy defense has not allowed a touchdown in nine consecutive quarters. The last touchdown the defense surrendered came with 2:23 left in the third quarter in State College when Penn State scored on a 25-yard touchdown pass. The streak is the longest by a Navy defense since 2008 when the Mids did not allow a touchdown for 10 straight quarters (fourth quarter against Notre Dame, shut out Northern Illinois, shut out Army and did not allow a first quarter score to Wake Forest). The Mids have been shut out in the first quarter in eight of the last 12 games dating back to last year and have not scored a touchdown in the first quarter in 11 of the last 13 games. Navy has been outscored, 30-3, in the first quarter this year and in the first quarter over the last 13 games dating back to last year. In Navy s last six wins it has outscored the opposition, , in the first half, including 46-3 in the first quarter. The Mids have suffered a first quarter turnover in the red zone in each of the last three contests. Navy has already turned the ball over 12 times this year (nine lost fumbles and three interceptions) after committing just 15 turnovers in 2011 (nine lost fumbles and six interceptions). Junior quarterback Trey Miller is responsible for 10 of Navy s 12 turnovers (seven fumbles and three interceptions) with five of those turnovers coming inside the opponents 30-yard line.

AIR FORCE 35, NAVY 34 ot oct. 1, 2011 ANNAPOLIS, MD. Tim Jefferson scored on a one-yard touchdown run and Parker Herrington kicked the extra-point to give Air Force a overtime victory over Navy in front of 37,506 fans at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Oct. 1, Herrington s extra-point was the game-winner thanks to a controversial unsportsmanlike conduct penalty called against Navy quarterback Kriss Proctor after Proctor had scored a touchdown on Navy s first possession in overtime. Jon Teague, who was pushed back 15 yards on his extra-point try, kicked the ball low and it was blocked by Alex Means. It was a topsy-turvy game with the Falcons dominating the first quarter and Navy dominating the fourth. Air Force jumped out to a 14-0 lead with touchdowns the first two times it had the ball. The Mids cut the lead to 14-3 on their second drive, moving 61 yards in 10 plays, had to settle for a 25-yard field goal. The Navy defense, however, could not stop Air Force as the Falcons answered with an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive with tailback Asher Clark scoring from 23 yards out to give Air Force a 21-3 lead. The Mids made it early in the third quarter when Proctor scored on a two-yard run. The Falcons looked to have put the final nail in Navy s coffin with an eight-play, 89-yard drive that was finished off by Clark s six-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter to give Air Force a lead. Navy, though, moved 62 yards on 14 plays with Proctor scoring from the seven to cut Air Force s lead to After the Navy defense held Air Force to a three-and-out, the Mids went 73 yards in 16 plays with Teague making a 37-yard field goal to make the score with 2:04 left. Navy had to go for the onside kick and Teague pulled off a beauty as the ball took a perfect bounce into the hands of Navy wide receiver Brandon Turner giving Navy the ball at the Air Force 41. The Mids quickly moved down the field and scored with just 19 seconds left on a five-yard touchdown pass from Proctor to junior slot back Gee Gee Greene, who made a beautiful one-handed catch. Navy had to go for two to tie the game and Proctor did a masterful job of running the double option, pitching to fullback Alexander Teich at the last second and Teich dove inside the left pylon to tie the game at 28. Air Force won the toss and elected to go on defense first. Proctor took it in from the one to give Navy a six-point lead. After the play, Proctor was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct as he said something to AF safety Jon Davis after the play.
