Not only did they not attempt a pass, I cannot recall them even attempting a pitch out. The weather was so horrendous that even snaps into the wind in the shot gun were knuckled by the time they got to the QB. Unless your were there, and I was, you cannot describe how much the wind impacted every aspect of the game. The triple option offense was probably the only offense tailor made for such conditions. I will also give Navy credit for a nice job handling a saturated wet ball and running the offense with minimal mistakes. Their only mistake was a lost fumble in the partially sheltered end of the stadium which was quickly turned in to our only points. A TD facilitated because of the deminished wind conditions at that end.
