Navy stopped Connecticut at the 1-yard line in the closing seconds and the Huskies couldn't line up to run another play as the Midshipmen pulled out a heart-stopping 28-24 win on Saturday.
The Mids had capitalized on a clutch punt by Erik Harris to score the go-ahead touchdown. Quarterback Will Worth scored on a 1-yard plunge with 3:08 remaining to regain the lead for Navy.
Connecticut then methodically marched into Navy territory.
Nose guard Patrick Forrestal and defensive end Amos Mason combined to stop Ron Johnson for no gain with eight seconds remaining and the remaining seconds ticked off the clock while the Connecticut tailback was pinned under a pile.
