Game Thread: Memphis @ Navy 3:30 CBSSN

[BoiseStateFan27]

Big game in the American

Houston needs Navy to lose this game to have a shot at the American title

Memphis meanwhile is trying to show that they will be a factor as well

Memphis just returned a kickoff for a touchdown to take a 14-7 lead

Nice drive by Navy to tie up at 14

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Poor Navy they drove all the way down the field only for them to fumble the ball while diving for the pylon and it's a touchback

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Now Memphis drives down the field and Navy makes a goal line stand to prevent them from scoring

definitely the most wild game that no one is watching

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Navy leads 21-14 at the half

I'm watching here and there. Tough to do with Bama and West Virginia playing such big games at the same time.

I've been doing A LOT of flipping

Nebraska is on upset alert too and theres a few other wild games as well

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Memphis scores to close the gap to 21-28

I should mention that Houston can kiss their New Years 6 hopes goodbye if Navy wins this game

Navy's best remaining conference opponent is on the road against South Florida but Navy has the matchup advantage because South Florida has one of college football's worst run defenses

If Navy wins today Houston has to hope they somehow lose to 2 out of Tulsa, SMU and East Carolina

I will never understand how Navy lost to Air Force

Their option offense has been unstoppable in every other game this year

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Navy was in field goal range, but didn't want to kick into the wind

they went for it on 4th and 4 and converted on a beautiful play action pass

Navy now leads 35-21

Memphis....

They were on a last gasp effort drive with a little more than 3 minutes left

their receiver catches the ball beyond the first down, but instead of taking that he runs around in circles and fumbles the ball away

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Touchdown Navy and that should do it

They will win this game, and unless they collapse completely they will win the West division in the American

Sailors sink another one, eh?

Sailors sink another one, eh?

This win was mostly expected

They put some huge holes in Houston's ship, they sank it completely with this win today

... and a service academy is ranked, too.


When's the last time that happened?

Navy was ranked last year as well sir

It's usually them, they have an impressive program especially considering they're a service academy

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

I was too lazy to switch the channel but Memphis ran the longest last play ever

their QB ran around for like 2 minutes looking for someone to throw the hail mary to, no one showed up and he took off and ran it to the Navy 10
