Navy goes for it, beats Army on 4th-and-goal TD

"Blake Horvath threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Eli Heidenreich with 6:32 remaining -- on fourth-and-goal -- and No. 22 Navy rallied to beat Army 17-16 on Saturday. Horvath turned the ball over twice, and his fumble near the goal line nearly spoiled Navy's key drive. On second down from the 1, the ball came loose when the Midshipmen (10-2) attempted a tush push, but Heidenreich fell on the ball back at the 8."

"Navy, down 16-10, decided to go for it on fourth down, and Horvath found his top receiving threat over the middle in the end zone. Army then had to punt, and on third-and-3 from the Army 43, the ball popped loose on a run by Horvath. It came loose again and Army recovered, but after a review, Horvath was ruled down before the second fumble -- a yard short of the line to gain."

"Alex Tecza then ran for the first down that enabled Navy to kneel out the clock. In what was at times a chippy game with some post-play shoving, there was a bit of a ruckus near midfield after the final kneel-down before things eventually calmed down for the traditional singing of the alma maters. With President Donald Trump in attendance, Navy got its second straight victory over Army (6-6), and the Midshipmen won the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy for a second straight season."

Navy rallied for a 17-16 victory when Blake Horvath threw an 8-yard fourth-and-goal touchdown to Eli Heidenreich with 6:32 remaining. Horvath had two turnovers, including a near-goal-line fumble on a tush push that Heidenreich recovered at the 8. Navy converted a fourth down to score and later survived a controversial sequence in which Horvath appeared to fumble on third-and-3 but was ruled down on review, allowing Alex Tecza to run for a first down and kneel out the clock. The game featured lengthy opening drives, chippy post-play moments, President Donald Trump in attendance, and Navy claiming the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy.
