End of first quarter: Navy 10 Army 0
Posted by Mike Hoffman on December 6th, 2008 filed in Army/Navy game, Military Times sites:Navy punter Kyle Delahooke made the play of the game thus far after the long snapper launch the snap over his head into Navy’s endzone. Instead of panicking, he calmly picked up the ball with two Army players bearing down and launched a punt to midfield. Army punter returner Josh Jones, shocked Delahooke got the punt off, tracked back to receive the kick and was immediately tackled eliminating a golden opportunity for Army to tie the game.
Army running back Ian Smith ripped off two decent runs, but other than that Navy’s defense has stifled Army’s rushing attack.
Navy has been able to move the ball led by quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada who returned from injury and started in place of sophomore quarterback Ricky Dobbs. Navy drove the ball inside Army’s 10, but had to settle for a field goal after Army’s defense stiffened and kept the cadets in the game. This could have gotten ugly if Army would have fallen behind two touchdowns early, but Army quarterback Chip Bowden is going to need to get his offense to move the ball or this could be another blowout.

Army’s inability to score seems to indicate poor C4ISR integration on the squad. I’m sure the contractors from SAIC on the sidelines are reworking their computer models as part of the $37 billion Future Offense System the team is using to coordinate this game. They have connected with a few passes, though, so at least something seems to be working.
