Worth directs command performance

Will Worth is developing into an outstanding triple-option quarterback right before our eyes.

Worth put forth a command performance in leading 24th-ranked Navy to a 42-28 victory over Memphis in a critical American Athletic Conference contest on Saturday.

An announced crowd of 35,943 watched Worth lead a dominating offensive effort as the Midshipmen rolled up 532 total yards and took command of the West Division race.

Worth established career-highs by rushing for 201 yards and three touchdowns while doing a brilliant job of directing the triple-option. The senior signal-caller also completed 3 of 4 passes for 85 yards and two other scores for Navy (5-1, 4-0), which took a big step toward earning a berth in the American Athletic Conference championship game.
