If you caught Navy on Saturday, you got more drama than planned. The Midshipmen squandered a 28-point lead before rallying to beat Temple at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Temple started its comeback with a 78-yard punt return for a touchdown just before halftime and tied the game at 35 with 5:35 left in the fourth quarter.

The Capital Gazette reports the Midshipmen lamented giving up 35 points but felt encouraged by their overall defensive performance. Two of Navy's most experienced defensive players made difference-making plays, including linebacker Coleman Cauley, who pressured Temple quarterback Jaxon Smolik on fourth down.
