Navy, Temple see mirror images going into conference championship

A power rushing game designed to chew up the clock and wear down opposing defenses.

That is the very definition of Navy's patented triple-option attack. It also accurately describes what Temple wants to do on offense.

The Midshipmen and Owls will bring similar styles to the field when they meet on Saturday at high noon in the American Athletic Conference championship game.

Navy ranks second nationally in rushing offense with 342 yards per game and holds the ball an average of 32 minutes, 40 seconds. Temple, which boasts a balanced attack that combines power rushing with play-action passing, ranks fourth in the Football Bowl Subdivision in time of possession at 34 minutes per game.
