Navy trick play in the Liberty Bowl

  • Navy ran a gutsy trick play on fourth down with the game tied in the final seconds of the Liberty Bowl.
  • The Midshipmen faked a running play on fourth-and-three with the back throwing to a wide-open receiver for 41 yards to set up the game-winning field goal. 
  • If the play had failed, Kansas State would have been in a good position to possibly win the game.

Navy won the Liberty Bowl with one of the gutsiest trick plays you will ever see. 

The Midshipmen faced a fourth-and-three near midfield with the game tied and less than thirty seconds to play. Instead of punting the ball, Navy went for a first down, risking the possibility of giving the ball to Kansas State with a chance to win the game themselves.

CJ Williams took the pitch, but instead of running for the first down — Navy had attempted only seven passes in the game — he found Chance Warren wide open down the field. 

After a spike, Navy kicked the short field goal for the win.

Wow.
