ORLANDO – Navy’s offense may finally have found its stride during the second half of Saturday’s game against 12th-ranked Central Florida.
Another big halftime deficit along with an inability to get a defensive stop doomed the struggling Midshipmen to a seventh straight defeat. However, there was a silver lining as the offense put together several long drives.
Quarterback McKenzie Milton put on a show with both his arm and legs as UCF remained unbeaten by beating Navy, 35-24, before an announced crowd of 44,738 at Spectrum Stadium.
Milton completed 17 of 21 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns to lead Central Florida, which raced to a 21-0 lead then simply outscored Navy the rest of the way.
