The Navy Midshipmen rebounded in the second quarter forcing San Jose State to punt the ball. Quarterback Kriss Proctor and the Mids triple option then took the football right down the field thanks to runs by Proctor and slotback Gee Gee Greene. Proctor punched the ball in from the 1-yard line to get the Mids within 3, 10-7.
