Navy quarterback Ricky Dobbs entered the game against Temple with 2 minutes remaining to help the Midshipmen come from behind late.
However, Dobbs’ attempt to be a last-second hero fell short and Temple won, 27-24.
Dobbs re-aggravated a cracked kneecap against SMU a couple of weeks ago and missed last week’s game against Wake Forest. Coach Ken Niumatalolo said earlier this week that Dobbs would dress, but not play.
However, since Dobbs has a stronger arm than backup Kriss Proctor, Dobbs came in late to try to get the Midshipmen in field goal range to tie the game. He completed zero passes and was sacked on fourth down.
