Running the ball himself a plurality of the time, he marches the Mids to a field goal, then breaks off a 45-yard touchdown carry. Navy's greatest hero, though, turns out to be Williams. Halfway through the fourth quarter, hope rises on the Army side. The Cadets have returned a blocked Williams punt for a touchdown and are driving again. Unable to see over the hats, some cadets just watch the giant video screen.
Cadets pound thunderously on the seats, and Cain scoops up a megaphone and joins the yelling.
Over on the Navy side, Academy ushers with gold felt armbands are keeping things more orderly. Still, the noise is fierce, with a steady rattling of cowbells. Navy has added a field goal, but Army is driving again, with less than three minutes left. But there the score stays. The Middies shank a field goal, but a Cadet bumps into the kicker, the penalty giving Navy a game-saving first down.
