The two divisional races became a bit clearer in the American Athletic Conference in Week 8 of the college football season — a week that was punctuated by a landmark win by an up-and-coming team in the conference.
No. 24/25 Navy took control of The American’s West Division with a 42-28 win against Memphis at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The win lifted the Midshipmen to 4-0 in conference play (5-1 overall) and extended Navy’s home field winning streak to 14 games, second nationally to Clemson’s 20-game streak. QB Will Worth led the way has he rushed for 201 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries and threw two TD passes among his three completions.
