Houston's dreams of making the College Football Playoff were likely squashed on Saturday with Navy running all over the Cougars defense to secure a 46-40 upset win.
With the two teams deadlocked in a 20-20 tie at halftime, Navy broke things open in the third quarter by outscoring Houston 21-7, including two scores in a span of 61 seconds thanks to Darryl Bonner's 17-yard touchdown catch and Josiah Powell's 34-yard interception return touchdown.
The Midshipmen did what they do as well as anyone in the country to win—run the ball. Quarterback Will Worth led the way with 115 yards, but seven players combined for 306 rushing yards on 63carries.
