"It's a lot more of a complex problem than just a couple of years here. It's going to be resolved. It will be handled. [Athletics director] Jack Swarbrick will take care of it. It's not an easy fix. This is not just roll out some grass and tamp it down. So it will be something that will have to be worked on in the offseason, looked at extensively, and we'll come up with a solution." The most glaring effect of the wet playing surface was on display in the second quarter when senior quarterback Tommy Rees tossed the first of two interceptions. Rees threw it in the direction of wide receiver TJ Jones, but the senior slipped, leading to an easy interception for Navy safety Parrish Gaines. "[The field conditions] were bad," said Jones, who took full responsibility for the turnover. "But you can't do anything about the field conditions. We don't have turf." ✦ navy individual statistics Rushing No.GainLost Net Avg. TD Lg.
