ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Navy had already blown a 21-point lead, and now the Midshipmen were in desperate need of a late stop to stave off another Connecticut comeback.Aided by a questionable bit of clock management by the Huskies, Navy pulled out a 28-24 victory Saturday.Will Worth scored two touchdowns in his debut as Navys starting quarterback, the last on a 1-yard run with 3:08 remaining following a 26-yard punt return to the UConn 17.That made it 28-24, but Connecticut wasnt done.The Huskies moved 79 yards to the Navy 1 and took their final timeout with 17 seconds left, even though the game clock had stopped on an out-of-bounds play.Ron Johnson was subsequently stuffed on a rush attempt, and time expired before Connecticut could run another play.That goal line stand symbolizes who we are, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. Things looked bleak. I didnt see the play. I was closing my eyes praying and I have no idea what happened. Shows you what kind of coach I am. I just looked up and our guys were cheering.After Johnson was thrust into his own backfield, the Midshipmen had no intention of letting him return to the line of scrimmage.We practice that, linebacker Daniel Gonzales said. You just lay on the guy until the ref pulls you off.Huskies coach Bob Diaco was at a loss to explain what transpired on the Connecticut sideline during the games final seconds. He talked about the uncertainty of where the ball was placed, whether a pass was a better call than a run, and then the timeout call because the play clock was about to expire.We called two plays but they did not let everyone get up off the ground, Diaco said. I am not complaining or making excuses. I take full accountability.The Midshipmen (2-0, 1-0 American Athletic Conference) scored on their first two possessions and went up 21-0 on a 2-yard fumble return by Alohi Gilman in the second quarter.Connecticut (1-1, 0-1) recovered to the take the lead before Worth scored the games final touchdown.Worth, a 6-foot-1 senior, started in place of Tago Smith, who tore his right ACL in the season opener against Fordham.In addition to capably directing the triple option, Worth ran for 44 yards, completed his first four passes and finished 6-for-8 for 130 yards.I felt pretty good with everything, Worth said. There were a couple (plays) I definitely would like to have back. For the most part, I felt good to get out there and see it all live.Bryant Shirreffs completed 23 of 26 passes for the Huskies, who were coming off a 24-21 win over Maine and looking to go 2-0 for just the second time since 2008.They are really, really hurt, Diaco said. We had enough errors collectively as a staff and as a team to not win.After Navy jumped to a 21-0 lead, the Huskies battled back. Shirreffs threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Noel Thomas with 1:10 left in the first half, Johnson scored on a 3-yard run and Jamar Summers rambled 86 yards with a fumble by fullback Chris High.Bobby Puyol kicked a 38-yard field goal with 9:08 remaining to give the Huskies their first lead at 24-21.Thomas finished with 11 catches for 116 yards.THE TAKEAWAYUConn: The Huskies showed their mettle in rallying from a 21-0 deficit, which bodes well for a team looking to take the next step after going 6-7 in 2015 following a 2-10 disaster in 2014.Navy: Worth performed capably in his first start, and will likely improve with experience. Showing poise and confidence, Worth blunted the notion that Navys triple option would sputter with a newcomer at the helm.UP NEXTUConn: The Huskies host Virginia next Saturday. The series is tied 1-1, with UConn prevailing 45-10 in 2008 in the last meeting between the teams.Navy: The Midshipmen take to the road for the first time, visiting Tulane on Saturday night before a bye week.

SEATTLE -- The quest to bring the NBA back to Seattle took a significant step Tuesday with investor Chris Hansen and his investment group offering to pay for a proposed arena with private funds.In a letter to Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, the city council and King County Executive Dow Constantine, Hansens group is now offering to rip up a memorandum of understanding from 2012 that called for up to $200 million in public investment in the arena.We just concluded the landscape has changed, said Wally Walker, part of Hansens investment group. We cant be ignorant of where we are four years in. If we think we can do this, then we should. Our priority is to get the arena because we think the NBA and NHL will come after that.Hansens group is now offering to pay for the project privately. Additionally, the group is offering to contribute to a transportation project near the proposed arena that would help deal with freight traffic at the Port of Seattle, a sticking point in past efforts, in exchange for a waiver of the citys admissions tax and an adjustment of the citys business and occupation tax.We have concluded that a changed economic climate makes possible the private financing of the arena, the letter reads. For that reason, and to address concerns expressed by city council members, we would consider revising the street vacation petition to eliminate public financing of the arena. In such a case the MOU would be terminated and the rights and obligations of the parties under the MOU would end.The decision comes five-plus months after the city of Seattle turned down Hansens request to block off a street needed for construction of the arena, which could have led to the issuance of a master use permit, meaning construction of the arena could have started once an NBA team had been acquired.Once we got through to the other side of the street vacation vote going unexpectedly, I think we stepped back rationally to look at what we could do to be put in a position so one, it could be passed, and two, meet the needs of the constituencies, Walker said.dddddddddddd We wont meet all needs, but this is a great deal for the community. The previous MOU was as well, but this was better. Were not over the hump yet because there are still politics involved, but were proud of taking this step. We did a fair amount of financial analysis, too, to make sure it would work and be a viable building for the community.The termination of the MOU provides Hansens group with flexibility -- should the city agree to its requests, which still include blocking off the street. Hansen already owns the land for the arena and could proceed with construction even without a team. It also opens up the NHL as an immediate possibility as the MOU was tied to the acquisition of an NBA team as a condition of construction.Walker said the NBA was made aware of the decision to privately finance the project and of Tuesdays announcement.We just wanted them to know what we were doing and they needed to be informed. And the NHL will be monitoring closely too, Im sure, he said.Should the arena plans progress, it can also be viewed as a win for politicians for pushing Hansens group to make the project privately funded.Chris Hansen today demonstrated his continued commitment to building an arena and to take advantage of an improving economy, Constantine said in a statement. His efforts will strengthen our ability to compete for an NBA team.As of now, Hansens group -- which includes members of the Nordstrom family and Walker, a former Seattle SuperSonics president and minority owner -- has not taken on additional investors. The original proposal in 2012 said the total project would cost $490 million. Walker said the cost of the arena has likely gone up slightly from the initial projections. ' ' '
