BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Navy quarterback Zach Abey set an American Athletic Conference record with 235 rushing yards to go with two rushing touchdowns and a TD pass as the Midshipmen cruised to a 42-19 win against Florida Atlantic in a game that featured three lightning delays at FAU Stadium.
Abey's 235 rushing yards are the most by an American Athletic Conference quarterback in the five-year history of the conference, surpassing the 210-yard performance by USF's Quinton Flowers against Memphis last season. Abey's total ranks fourth among all players on The American's single-game chart.
