State of the AAC: Navy remains unbeaten in conference play as top teams idle

With only six American Athletic Conference teams in play this weekend, a relatively quiet slate of games followed last week’s chaos.

Here is how the AAC fared this past weekend:

Navy (2-2, 2-0 AAC) vs. Temple (0-1, 0-1):

Following a brutal 40-7 road loss to Air Force, the Midshipmen returned home to face the Temple Owls.

After a relatively slow start to the game, the option offense proved to be too much for the Owls to handle.

Never trailing in the game, senior fullback Nelson Smith rushed for 120 yards on 20 attempts, giving the Midshipmen two crucial touchdowns.
