The Navy Midshipmen have traveled to play the Memphis Tigers in an American Conference game on Thanksgiving.
The Midshipmen won their first seven games before losing back-to-back games to North Texas and Notre Dame on the road. Navy managed to bounce back last week with a victory over South Florida on Nov. 15.
Quarterback Blake Horvath serves as both the leading passer and rusher for the Midshipmen this season. He’s completed 76 of 122 passes for 1,290 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions. He’s also rushed for 986 yards and 13 touchdowns on 159 carries.
Receiver Eli Heidenreich has contributed to the offense with 38 receptions for 741 yards and four touchdowns.
The Tigers enter the game with an 8-3 overall record after starting the season by winning their first six games. Memphis has lost back-to-back games, against Tulane and East Carolina, by a combined 10 points.
Quarterback Brendon Lewis leads the Tigers’ offense, completing 220 of his 307 pass attempts for 2,395 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions. Running back Sutton Smith has rushed for 644 yards and seven touchdowns on 96 carries.
Memphis has managed to get the best of the Navy in six of the 10 games in this series’ history, but the Midshipmen earned a victory in their last meeting in 2024.
