Navy vs. South Florida updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Navy vs. South Florida football game
South Florida has enjoyed a three-game homestead but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. The South Florida Bulls and the Navy Midshipmen will face off in an American Athletic battle at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Jack Stephens Field at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Navy is favored, but seeing as the odds didn't stop South Florida this last game, maybe the team has another upset up their sleeve.
After a disappointing three points in their last contest, South Florida made sure to put some points up on the board against Rice on Saturday. South Florida took their contest against Rice 42-29. With that win, South Florida brought their scoring average up to 26.8 points per game.
South Florida relied on the efforts of Naiem Simmons, who picked up 272 receiving yards and a touchdown, and Byrum Brown, who threw for 435 yards and two touchdowns. That's the first time this season that Brown passed for 300+ passing yards.
Meanwhile, Navy's game last Thursday was all tied up 14-14 at the half, but sadly for them it didn't stay that way. They fell to Memphis 28-24. Sadly, the defeat only continues a disappointing trend for Navy: they've now lost five straight matchups with Memphis.
The losing side was boosted by Alex Tecza, who rushed for 163 yards and a touchdown. One of his best plays was a 75 yard sprint for a TD in the first quarter.
South Florida's win lifted them to 2-2 while Navy's loss dropped them down to 1-2.
While only South Florida took care of their fans the last time they played, both teams pleased bettors by covering the spread. Looking ahead, Navy is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by four points. Anyone thinking of taking South Florida against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn't covered the last three times they've played Navy.
