Navy added to its lead in the second quarter by marching 68 yards in 10 plays, culminating in a 27-yard touchdown pass from Kranker to senior Ben Wilson. Wilson caught the two-point conversion to put the Mids up, 14-0, with 12:28 left in the first half. An interception by Tim Gallagher led to Navy's next touchdown. The Mids wasted little time scoring their third touchdown of the half. Navy moved 68 yards in 2 plays, ending in an Arnold Selvidge 11-yard touchdown run. The Mids went into halftime with a commanding 21-0 lead. Selvidge scored Navy's final touchdown of the night on a 12-yard run with 1:23 left in the third quarter.
