In the famous words of Yogi Berra, “It was deja vu all over again.”
Once again, a second-tier Atlantic Coast Conference team came to Annapolis to play in the Military Bowl against Navy and was unable to stop the vaunted Midshipmen triple-option. Two years ago, it was the University of Pittsburgh. On Thursday, it was the University of Virginia.
The Panthers were able to run the opening kickoff back 100 yards for the opening score, but Navy scored 31 unanswered points en route to a 44-28 victory by the Mids.
