NEW ORLEANS – Navy almost passed its way to an improbable come-from-behind victory on a hot, sunny day in the Big Easy.
Unfortunately for the Midshipmen, their defense could not get a stop when one was desperately needed and a valiant comeback went to waste.
Quarterback Justin McMillan completed a 2-point conversion pass to tight end Charles Jones with 1:27 remaining in the game to give Tulane a thrilling 29-28 victory over Navy before an announced crowd of 20,042 at Yulman Stadium on Saturday.
McMillan completed four passes during a 71-yard touchdown drive that put Tulane in position to go for the win.
