They call the most puzzling plays at the most opportune times for Navy. A halfback toss? They called some stupid play 4 or 6 years ago when ND couldn't stop them, either.
It was their last play of the game if I remember. Why not just keep running the ball. ND stopped their running game in both situations. Sometimes you can out think yourselves.
when they played Ohio State a few years back they were absolutely controlling the game and had them. Ohio State could not stop them with time running out and had first and goal on the one and threw a pass that got picked off and returned for a 101 yard touchdown.
Actually, it wasn't returned for a TD...it was returned for 2 points. Dobbs threw the pick on a conversion attempt in the final minutes. Down by 2, Navy was trying to tie the game. Lost by 4. Good game.
