The Navy Midshipmen went all-out for a win in their annual rivalry game with Army on Saturday, and that included dialing up a fake punt that most teams probably do not even have in their playbook.
Navy led 21-13 with just over 11 minutes to go in regulation, and were facing a 4th and 5 from just shy of midfield. The Midshipmen did not want to give the ball back to Army and give them a chance to tie the game, so they called on a fake punt.
This was not just any fake punt, however. It was a fake punt to defensive lineman Landon Robinson, who appeared to be in for punt protection. Robinson got a huge hole and rumbled for 29 yards, easily getting the first down and taking the ball all the way down to Army’s 24-yard line.
