Two football teams seemingly headed in opposite directions will meet on Saturday afternoon at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
Temple is surging, having won three of its last four games in convincing fashion. Navy, on the other hand, is skidding, having dropped two straight contests and coming off an embarrassing 35-7 blowout at the hands of service academy rival Air Force.
Temple is coming off a 49-6 rout of East Carolina in a contest that was basically over by halftime. Quarterback Anthony Russo, making his fourth straight start, completed 21 of 25 passes for 254 yards and four touchdowns.
