The Navy Midshipmen struggled in Week 10 as they lost on the road against the Rice Owls 24-10. This game saw Navy struggle to get going and recover after an excellent first quarter for the Owls. Not to mention, this game had started significantly later than scheduled due to inclement weather.

The Midshipmen (6-2, 4-1 American) are still in the race for the American Athletic Conference Championship Game even with this loss but it makes it more difficult as they sit in third place. The Owls (3-6, 2-3) have a solid win under their belts but likely are not going to make a bowl game this season as they would need to win out the remainder of the season.

Let's dive a bit deeper into the box scores and discuss how this game wound up going.
