Temple's goal-line stands clutch in win over No. 21 Maryland Anthony McFarland was already stuffed at the goal line once by Temple. With the Maryland running back needing inches again to put the Terps ahead, he should have known what was coming. Shaun Bradley wrapped up McFarland in the backfield for one more clutch hit for Temple's defense. Bradley flexed his muscles, pounded his chest and let loose toward Temple fans howling in delight. "It was the best feeling ever, man," Bradley said. Kenny Yeboah had put Temple ahead on a one-handed touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter, and the Owls used two stops at the goal line -- Bradley's was one of them -- to hold off No. 21 Maryland 20-17 on Saturday. https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=401112203

Memphis remains undefeated with a 35-23 win over Navy Midway through the second quarter Thursday night, everything was going Navy's way. As usual, the Midshipmen were controlling the ball, their defense was living up to its new reputation as a stingy unit and Memphis was struggling on both sides of the ball with Navy holding a 20-7 lead. "They looked tired on defense," Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. "We felt like we had them right in our wheelhouse." Things were so bad early in the third quarter, the Memphis fans were booing quarterback Brady White. Then things changed. White led a second-half rally, finishing the game with 196 yards passing and three touchdowns as Memphis used big plays to defeat Navy 35-23. read more https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=401117871
