Middies retake lead: Navy 19 Wake Forest 14

Just when it appeared Wake Forest was going to grab a strangle hold on this game, Navy’s defense comes up with a big stop and it’s offense followed it with a clutch touchdown drive. It’s times like these when it pays to have a senior quarterback with as much experience as Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada has built up over three years as Navy’s starter.

Enhada ran for 35 yards on Navy’s first play after Wake’s punt retaking the momentum Navy had lost. He then ran in the touchdown from two  yards out on third and goal to go.

Navy coach Niumatalolo gambled going for the two-point conversion, which failed when a Wake defender broke up a pass to slotback Shun White. Navy might regret not having that extra point.
