The Eagle Bank Bowl.



Navy vs. Wake Forest, when I first saw this game come up i thought that wake was going to trample the Mid-Shipmen. Yet I got to thinking about the run defense for wake and how navy can make you get frustrated and make you miss a tackle. well this on came out to be a good way to start of bowl season. I predicted that wake forest would win 21-11...well the final score was 29-19 in favor of Wake Forest, so my prediction came out alright.



Wake out rushed out passed navy but still let it get interesting, the Demon Deccan's were 6-11 on third down and close to that number navy went 7-14. based off that stat that tells you this game a tough one, but look at the yards it looks as if navy got blown out. Wake Forest had a total of 404 yards to navy's 248, 166 passing yards to navy's 32 and finally 238 rushing yards to navy's 216 yards on the ground.


*The positives for navy: place kicker Matt Harmon kicked to field goals, one at 40 yards and one at 47 yards. Corner back Rashawn King returned a 50 yard fumble recovery for a touchdown. Senior Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada quarterback finishes his career at navy with 1609 passing yards and 16 TD, 1553 rushing yards and 25 rushing TD.


*The positives for Wake Forest: quarterback Riley Skinner was a perfect 11-11 with 166 yards and 1 TD. Junior Kevin Harris had 135 yards on 24 carries and had 4 carries of 10 yards or more (two 20+ rushes). the Demon Deccan's sacked QB Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada twice and had one INT.
