Halftime: Navy 17 Army 0
Posted by Mike Hoffman on December 6th, 2008 filed in Army/Navy game, Military Times sites:Navy running back Shun White has already run for 120 yards as Navy continues to gash Army’s defense with its option attack. Overheard in the press box one writer already say “Well we don’t have to worry about who the MVP is.” That came after White caught an 18 yard touchdown pass to put Navy up 17-0.
Army again had great field position after kick returner Patrick Mealy ran Navy’s kickoff back 63 yards to the Navy 27. Army’s offense again couldn’t move the ball and didn’t score after a fake field goal failed.
If Army is going to have any chance to come back in the second half senior fullback Collin Mooney will need to get on track because he’s only rushed for 15 yards thus far. He’s run for 1,285 yards this season.

I think it’s clear that Army’s cammo uniforms have hurt their offense — the quarterback drops back and looks for someplace to throw the ball, but his teammates all blend in with the turf of the football field. The low-observable uniforms are probably useful when they’re on defense, though, because the Navy players can’t see the guys about to tackle them.
