PG football falls to Navy 32-6
Coach Shuman's PG football team played three games within one week and almost started their season at 3-0, but Navy proved too quick and formidable in the second half of Wednesday's game at Annapolis, leading to a 32-6 victory for Navy over FUMA.
The first two quarters of the game looked promising for FUMA. FUMA's defense held Navy's option offense out of the end zone in an impressive stand early in the game and then blocked Navy's field goal attempt to keep the game scoreless. FUMA's offense was unable to produce many scoring opportunities in the first half however and the game continued a 0-0 tie until late in the second quarter when Navy put 6 points on the board. FUMA blocked the point after kick, leaving the door open for a FUMA comeback as the first half came to an end.
The second half was all Navy, however, as they jumped out quickly to put a touchdown on the board. Navy's speed and athletic ability was apparent as they were able to seize brief moments of opportunity to make big plays on both offense and defense, putting points on the board. The cracks in the armor of the young FUMA team, facing a Division I team for the first time, were exploited by the opponent and the game closed out at 32-6.
Overall, it was a positive showing for FUMA as they held their own against this Division I opponent for two quarters and looked as if they might be able to snatch an upset victory if their defense continued to hold the Navy team off the scoreboard as well as they had done in the first half. In the end, the experience and athletic ability of Navy carried the day.
