Navy scored 27 unanswered points to come back from a 24-point deficit in the second half and beat Tulane Saturday, setting a school record in the process.

The Midshipmen’s offense looked bleak in the first half. Navy ran only two plays in Tulane territory in the first half. Then, an interception by Navy at their own 3-yard line and a 16-point third quarter put the team within striking distance of the Green Wave’s lead.

Navy tied the game on a 32-yard touchdown pass from Dalen Morris to Mychal Cooper, followed by a 2-point conversion early in the fourth quarter.

Tulane turned the ball over on downs after the touchdown and Navy later kicked a field goal for the win.
