Jarod Bryant replaced Kaheaku-Enhana and fumbled on his first play. Matt Robinson scooped the ball up for Wake and returned it seven yards for a touchdown and a 24-17 lead with 2:19 left in the half.

Eric Kettani had 75 yards and Shun White added 61 yards and scored on runs of 1 and 7 yards for the Midshipmen. Bryant added 56 yards including a 43-yard run that set up White's second score, which cut Wake Forest' lead to 27-24.
Wake Forest countered with a 2-yard run by Micah Andrews for a 34-24 lead with 11:15 left in the third.
On its next possession, Navy fumbled at Wake's 25 and Wake's Kevin Patterson recovered. The Deacs turned the takeaway into a 52-yard field goal by Swank and a 37-24 lead.
Another fumble by Bryant on the next series was recovered at the Navy 39 by John Russell. The Deacons turned that into a score as Skinner hit Moore for 22 yards and a score just eight seconds into the final period.
