A couple of undefeated teams in the AAC squared off with a somewhat surprising result, the Cougars survived a late comeback attempt and a top-five team struggled with one of the weaker teams in the conference.
The Upper Echelon:
No. 1 Navy Midshipmen – The Navy Midshipmen came into their meeting against the University of Memphis Tigers undefeated in conference, and they showed why their only loss of the season came against the University of Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish. The Midshipmen controlled the tempo of the game through their dynamic triple-option offense and cruised to a 45-20 win, knocking the Tigers from the ranks of the unbeaten and looking great in the process.
