Saturday's annual Army-Navy game has belonged to the Midshipmen for most of the day. Navy earned an early lead with a first-quarter touchdown and entered halftime winning 14–7. In the third quarter they earned some breathing room with a long catch-and-run score by Eli Heidenreich—at which point the referees made a call that disgusted CBS's Gary Danielson, on the call for the traditional rivalry matchup.
After scoring the big TD, Heidenreich enthusiastically spiked the football. The officials threw a flag and called unsportsmanlike conduct on the running back, leading to Danielson ripping the crew live on CBS.
