Navy stays undefeated, edges Air Force in wild finish
Air Force nearly pulled off a huge comeback in its rivalry game with Navy Saturday. In a wild, back-and-forth matchup, the Falcons took the lead in the fourth quarter after trailing by as many as 21 points in the second half.
With Air Force up 45-41, however, Navy scored the game-winning touchdown with 15 seconds remaining.

Though the game seemed all but over at that point, Air Force put up a fight on its final play from scrimmage. The Falcons kept the play alive for 30 seconds with laterals.
A lot of laterals followed by a lot of emotion.
What a win for @NavyFB. pic.twitter.com/1A2eqDDSzF
