Bullen is known at Navy for having made two winning field goals -- against Air Force in 2005 with four-tenths of a second left and earlier this year against Duke as time expired.
And his 29-yard field goal in overtime again proved crucial. Johnson said he had not considered going for it in that situation, though he added he thought about going for a two-point conversion following Navy's first touchdown in overtime.
Kaheaku-Enhada finished with 122 yards rushing and completed 9 of 12 passes for 166 yards. Junior Eric Kettani added 72 yards rushing and freshman Wyatt Middleton had 12 tackles for the Midshipmen.
Bostick, a freshman, completed 20 of 28 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown. Navy gained 497 yards; the Panthers had 418.
"As I told the players, we had several opportunities to win the game," Wannstedt said. "We felt good about the play [in the second overtime]. We felt like we had a good matchup with Darrell Strong. It was our two-point play."
Instead, as the pass fell incomplete, Navy's players celebrated as wildly as they could given that the game had lasted nearly four hours.
Following the game, the academy superintendent and commandant visited the locker room. The commandant delivered the news that the team could sleep in until third period.
It was one of several things that went well for the Midshipmen.
