Navy Uses Strong Second Half To Pull Away From No. 3 Delaware, 34-20

Date: October 30, 2004

ANNAPOLIS, MD -- Navy senior quarterback Aaron Polanco rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another to lead the Division I-A Midshipmen over third-ranked Delaware, 34-20, in football action Saturday afternoon at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium.

Navy, which improved to 7-1 and has only lost to Notre Dame this season, trailed 10-7 midway through the second quarter but scored 21 straight points to take control and avenge last season's 21-17 loss to the Blue Hens. Delaware had its six-game winning streak snapped and fell to 6-2 on the year.

The Midshipmen, who received votes in this week's national top 25 polls, fell behind for the first time on the day with 6:20 remaining in the second quarter after Blue Hen senior Brad Shushman nailed a 35 yard field goal. But after Navy was stopped on its next drive Delaware senior Sidney Haugabrook fumbled the Mids' punt, and Mick Yokitis recovered for Navy on the Delaware 11 yard line.

Three plays later on third-and-five from the Delaware six, Polanco found a wide open Eric Roberts in the end zone to put Navy ahead 14-10 with 2:06 remaining in the half, and the Midshipmen would not trail again.

The Blue Hens held Navy to a three-and-out on its first possession of the third quarter, and after Delaware was stopped UD punter Mike Weber dropped a punt on the Midshipmen one-yard line. However, Navy proceeded to drive 99 yards on 12 plays, capped on a 1-yard touchdown run by Polanco, to go up 21-10 with 6:28 left in the quarter.

After holding Delaware on its next possession the Midshipmen drove 68 yards on five plays, all rushes, and scored on Polanco's seven-yard touchdown run, taking a 27-10 lead with 2:08 remaining after Geoff Blumenfeld missed the extra point.

On their next drive the Blue Hens drove to the Navy five, but Dominic Madigan was stopped for no gain after catching a pass from Riccio on a third-and-three. Shushman came on to hit a 23 yard field goal, capping a 15-play, 60-yard drive, to cut the Midshipmen lead to 27-13 with 10:20 to play.

However Navy put the game away on its ensuing drive by going 70 yards on 12 plays, the final 11 on the ground, and scoring on a four-yard run by Kyle Eckel to go up 34-13 with 4:52 on the clock.

Haugabrook concluded the scoring with 46 seconds left when he returned a punt 65 yards for a touchdown, his second punt return for a score this year and the third of his career.

Navy, which rushed for 346 yards, the 11th-highest total allowed in Delaware school history, scored first with 7:37 remaining in the first quarter when Polanco ran 22 yards for a touchdown to cap an 11-play, 86-yard drive.

On their ensuing possession the Blue Hens faced a fourth-and-three from then Navy 34 when quarterback Sonny Riccio found David Boler (above right) for a 22-yard pass to the 12, and three plays later running back Niquan Lee scored from five yards out to knot the game at 7-7 with 1:10 left in the opening quarter.

Navy then drove to the Delaware 16 on its next possession, but Blue Hen safety Kyle Campbell stopped Trey Hines one yard short of the first down to give UD the ball back. Delaware then drove 67 yards on 12 plays, capped by the Shushman field goal, before the Midshipmen took control.

Eckel finished with 143 yards rushing on 23 carries to post his 11th career 100-yard rushing game, while Polanco ran 15 times for 64 yards and Eric Roberts ran eight times for 64 yards. Polanco also completed eight of his 11 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown. Navy's 346 yards rushing and 441 yards of total offense both were the most allowed this season by Delaware, which had not allowed that many yards rushing since Georgia Southern ran for 349 yards on September 8, 2001.

Riccio completed 30 of 50 passes for 255 yards and a touchdown for the Blue Hens, while wide receiver David Boler caught 16 passes for 153 yards, tying the school record for receptions in a game set by teammate Justin Long against Maine on October 2. Boler's 16 receptions also tied the Navy-Marine Corps Stadium record.

Lee ran nine times for 31 yards and scored his team-high 10th touchdown on the season while Omar Cuff finished with five carries for 37 yards for Delaware, which was held under 25 points for the first time in 10 games.

"We're disappointed that we lost," Delaware head coach K.C. Keeler said. "We don't lose a whole lot, and it hurts. We had some opportunities but didn't take advantage."

"You can prepare for their offense all you want, but they run it so well. It's a different offense to prepare for, especially when you only have one week. We missed a lot of tackles and made some mistakes, but they are a very good football team. We have to move on to play a championship-level game next week against James Madison."

The Blue Hens, who are 5-0 in the Atlantic 10 South Division, and ninth-ranked Dukes, 4-0 in the division, meet next Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in Harrisonburg, VA.
