<p>Some teams prefer a balanced attack on offense. Some teams don't. Some teams don't need to.</p>
<p>The Navy Midshipmen threw the ball just one time in the entire second half. It was incomplete. Why bother throwing the ball though when you're running so well?</p>
<p>Navy rushed for a total of 407-yards against Central Michigan today, while throwing for only 33. Quarterback (and that term is used loosely) Kross Proctor had 203-yards on the ground, averaging over 10 yards per carry. Proctor had one rushing touchdown and fullback Alexander Teich added two more.</p>
<p>The game remained close throughout though. The Chippewas scored their final touchdown with four second left in the game. Choosing to avoid an overtime period in which the Midshipmen would surely run the ball down their throats and emerge victorious, the Chippewas elected to go for two. Navy shut them down though, and the game ended 38-37.</p>
<p>The Midshipmen improved to 7-3 and will host Arkansas State next Saturday before ending their season with the one of the greatest rivalry games in all of sports as Army comes to Annapolis on December 11.</p>

<p>No Ricky Dobbs? No problem.</p>
<p>The Navy Midshipmen are missing their starting quarterback today. The team has done a good job of adjusting though. Early in the second half, Navy has emerged with a 35-24 lead, and most of those scores have been a result of their strong ground game.</p>
<p>The Midshipmen have rushed for 375 yards, and passed for only 33.</p>
<p>The team's replacement at quarterback, Kriss Proctor, has run for 178 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. Fullback Alexander Teich has also run for two scores.</p>
<p>Defense has not been a strong point for either team. Both the Midshipmen and the Central Michigan Chippewas have combined to score touchdowns on their past six drives.</p>

<p>One week after becoming bowl-eligible in a big way against East Carolina, the Navy Midshipmen look to clinch their eighth-straight winning season when they take on Central Michigan in Annapolis. The game should be a fairly easy one for Navy, since Central Michigan is just 3-7 on the year.</p>
<p>However, there is a bit of a complication. Star quarterback Ricky Dobbs did not practice all week with a mild concussion, and his status for today's game is up in the air. As of right now, it does not look like he will play, <a href="http://twitter.com/gene_wang/statuses/3532559086526465">according to Gene Wang of the Washington Post:</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
<meta charset="utf-8">
All signs point to Kriss Proctor getting the start at quarterback today against Central Michigan <a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23Navy" title="#Navy">#Navy</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Proctor is the backup quarterback for Navy. He has relieved Dobbs twice this year -- against East Carolina and in a game against Louisiana Tech earlier in the year. It appears he will be relieving Dobbs again in this one. </p>
<p>The game will begin at 3:30.</p>
