What a great start to Bowl Mania as Wake Forest pulls of a big rally to top the Midshipmen.Trailing by 13, Riley Skinner decided it was his time to shine. Navy couldn't contain Skinner and the Wake offense. Skinner threw for 166 yards, 1 TD and had a 100% accuracy as he went 11-11. Wake took the lead in the 3rd quarter on a Josh Adams 5 yard run, his 2nd TD on the day. Navy came back and took a 19-14 lead on a Kaheaku-Enhada 2 yard scramble.
In the 4th quarter, Riley Skinner found TE Ben Wooster for an 8 yard strike to take the lead. Navy needed a late drive to tie or take the lead. The Midshipmen were cut down on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down by Wake's stout defense. On 4th down, Wake forced Kaheaku-Enhada to scramble away, before being hit from behind and coughing up the ball. Wake added another TD on a 35 yard rush by FB Rich Belton.
Navy has now lost 3 straight bowl games, all of which were very close throughout the game. After the game, Riley Skinner was announced the MVP.
