Game Recap

If the Navy Midshipmen were expecting to get some payback for the 10-7 loss against the Memphis Tigers when they previously met last November, then they were left disappointed. On Thursday, the Midshipmen lost to Memphis on the road by a decisive 35-17 margin. Navy hasn't found any success against the Tigers since Sept. 8 of 2018, this defeat making it three in a row.

Memphis' WR Calvin Austin III did his thing and punched in one rushing touchdown. That touchdown -- a 69-yard rush in the first quarter -- was one of the highlights of the contest. QB Seth Henigan had a good game, too, finishing with two touchdowns.

Memphis' defense was a presence as well, as it got past Navy's offensive line to sack the QB four times for a total loss of 36 yards. It was a group effort with four guys contributing.

No one had a standout game offensively for the Midshipmen, but they got scores from WR Mychal Cooper and FB James Harris II.

Navy's overall record fell to 1-5. The win bumped the Tigers' record up to 4-3.

Navy will square off against the Cincinnati Bearcats at noon ET next week at Jack Stephens Field at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. As for Memphis, they will go up against the UCF Knights at 7 p.m. ET next week at Bounce House. If the matchup is anything like Memphis' 50-49 victory from their previous meeting in October of last year, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.
