<p>After leading much of the game, the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/navy-midshipmen" class="sbn-auto-link">Navy Midshipmen</a> couldn't hold off the Rutgers offense, allowing 14 unanswered points that allowed Rutgers to take the lead the would ultimately hold on to. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/36937/kriss-proctor" class="sbn-auto-link">Kriss Proctor</a> ended the game on a sack and also threw two interceptions, but ultimately Navy's inability to score touchdowns lost the game. Rutgers held the Midshipmen to only 169 yards on the ground.</p>
<p>Navy on the other hand couldn't hold back Rutgers quarterback <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/134152/gary-nova" class="sbn-auto-link">Gary Nova</a>, who completed 23 of 31 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns, both of which were in the second half, including the go ahead score. Rutgers running back <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/114333/jawan-jamison" class="sbn-auto-link">Jawan Jamison</a> also had a nice say, rushing for over 100 yards and keeping the Navy defense off balance. Rutgers improves to 5-1 on the season while Navy falls to 2-4.</p>

<p>The Navy Midshipman left halftime with a 14-7 lead over Rutgers and added to that lead early with a field goal to push it to 17-7. Rutgers came storming back however, to take the lead scoring 14 unanswered points. Led by the arm of quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/134152/gary-nova">Gary Nova</a>, Rutgers marched down the field to score.</p>
<p>Rutgers first scoring drive was capped off by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Nova to <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/87459/quron-pratt">Quron Pratt</a> to end a 6-play 52-yard drive. Early in the fourth quarter, Rutgers once again scored on a Gary Nova pass, this time hitting Tim Wright for 20 yards and the score to take the lead 21-17. Navy can kill clock with their triple option, but they're going to need to start scoring touchdowns to cap off their long time consuming drives.</p>

<p>Rutgers jumped out to an early 7-0 lead over the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/navy-midshipmen" class="sbn-auto-link">Navy Midshipmen</a> after missing a field goal and losing a fumble to Navy.
