Halftime update: IU 20, Navy 14

Despite allowing a pick-six late in the second quarter, IU has gained a 20-14 lead over the Navy Midshipmen at halftime in Annapolis, Md.
 
On its first three drives, the Hoosier offense was able to produce, scoring in each of them. Sophomore quarterback Cam Coffman had been instrumental in that performance, passing for 18 completions on 23 attempts for 171 yards.
 
However, with three minutes remaining in the first half with the Hoosiers up 17-7, a tipped pass from Coffman led to a Navy interception and touchdown, bringing the Midshipmen within three points.
 
On the following Hoosier drive, IU was able to run down the clock and kick a 23-yard field goal at the closing seconds to extend it’s lead to six points.
 
Both of IU’s touchdowns have been short runs from it’s running backs: junior Stephen Houston and sophomore D’Angelo Roberts each scored on 1- and 3-yard rushes respectively.
 
At the conclusion of halftime, the Midshipmen will receive the IU kickoff to open the third quarter.
