No. 16 Navy Struggles To Stop No. 21 Houston In 52-31 Loss

Greg Ward, Jr. threw for 308 yards and three touchdowns to lead Houston to a 52-31 win over Navy, sending the Cougars to the first American Athletic Conference championship game. The Cougars are also well positioned to earn a bid to a New Year's Six bowl game, likely the Fiesta Bowl, if they win the league championship. Keenan Reynolds, Navy's great triple-option quarterback, rushed for 84 yards on 19 carries and a fourth quarter touchdown and was 14 of 17 for 312 yards passing and a touchdown for the Midshipmen (9-2, 7-1). The Heisman Trophy contender scored his 83rd career touchdown to match the FBS record set by Wisconsin's Montee Ball. "[...] downs killed us," Niumatalolo said. Houston's Brandon Wilson, who was moved from cornerback to running back this week because of injuries, ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. Following Austin Grebe's 39-yard field goal for Navy, Ayers extended Houston's lead to 38-17 with a one-handed catch and run for a 62-yard touchdown reception from Ward with 2:26 left in the third.
