PHILADELPHIA — History was made Saturday as the Army-Navy game went to overtime for the first time in the 123-year history of the series. And one was not enough.
In the second overtime, Navy fullback Anton Hall Jr. fumbled while trying to dive into the end zone. Austin Hill forced the fumble and fellow defensive lineman Nate Smith recovered it at the 1-yard line, thwarting the Midshipmen’s attempt to take the lead. That meant the Black Knights only needed to kick a field goal to win the game and kicker Quinn Maretzki came through.
Maretzki drilled a 39-yard field goal to give Army a thrilling 20-17 double-overtime victory over Navy before a sellout crowd of 69,117 at Lincoln Financial Field.
