The USF game wasnt as bad as the score makes it seem. For most of the game, USF looked like a competent football team. So jealous

I dunno bro…Total yardage was 592 for the Canes to 365 for the Bulls, and Miami had 113 yards in penalties.

Bulls secondary was swiss cheese (404 yards).

I think that was more a depth issue. It was competitive for the first 40 minutes or so

The American Athletic Conference has announced the winners of the league’s weekly football honors from Week 4 of the 2024 season.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Blake Horvath • Jr. • QB • Navy

Horvath had a career day in Navy’s 56-44 win against No. 23 Memphis, keeping the Midshipmen unbeaten at 3-0 overall and 2-0 in The American. Horvath rushed for a career-high 211 yards and four touchdowns on just 12 carries, completed 9 of 12 passes for 192 yards and two TDs and had a 13-yard reception to account for 416 total yards and six touchdowns. Horvath enters Week 5 as The American’s rushing leader at 122.0 yards per game and a league-leading seven touchdowns.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Colin Ramos • Sr. • LB • Navy

Ramos registered a career-high 20 tackles – the most by an NCAA FBS player in a game this season – to help Navy to a 56-44 win against No. 23 Memphis, keeping the Midshipmen unbeaten and tied atop the conference standings. He added a sack, 2.0 tackles for loss and a key pass breakup in the end zone that denied a Memphis touchdown. Ramos leads The American and ranks second nationally with 15.0 tackles per game in 2024.

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Maddux Trujillo • Sr. • K • Temple

Trujillo scored nine points, including an American Athletic Conference-record 64-yard field goal, to help Temple to a 45-29 win against Utah State. Trujillo’s kick came at the end of the first half and sparked a run of 24 straight Temple points to help the Owls overcome a 21-14 deficit late in the second quarter. Trujillo’s field goal was the longest by any player – college or pro – in Lincoln Financial Field history, while it shattered the previous AAC mark of 56 yards, set by former Memphis kicker Jake Elliott in 2013 and tied by the Tigers’ Riley Patterson in 2020.

Seth Morgan • Gr. • K • Tulsa

Morgan scored 11 points, including the game-tying and game-winning field goals, in Tulsa’s 23-20 overtime win at Louisiana Tech. Morgan, who went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, hit a 45-yard kick with 32 seconds left in the fourth quarter to force overtime before he added a walk-off 34-yarder on Tulsa’s first possession in overtime.

 

HONORABLE MENTION

Bryson Daily • Sr. • QB • Army

Rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns and had 107 yards and two touchdown passes for five total TDs in a 37-14 win against Rice.


Shane Porter • Jr. • RB • North Texas

Rushed for 120 yards on 13 carries in a 44-17 win against Wyoming.


Evan Simon • Jr. • QB • Temple

Completed 17 of 27 passes for 271 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown in a 45-29 win against Utah State.


Jimmori Robinson • Sr. • LB • UTSA

Had seven tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, a sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a blocked kick in a 45-7 win against Houston Christian.


Makhi Hughes • So. • RB • Tulane

Rushed for 166 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries in a 41-33 win at Louisiana.

The VERY odd world we now live in = winless Temple rips Utah St. and Utah St. gets invited to the PACwhatever.

To me shows HOW PACwhatever IS NOT A P5 Conference any more no matter who they add at this point!

And now official, Air Force will remain in Mountain West. Not out of loyalty but purely for $$$ ($25 MILLION!).

No honor in AF anymore, could have joined brothers in Navy and Army in same conference but BIG $$$ wins out to remain in MUCH REDUCED Mtn. West! Now BY FAR the weakest of the G6!
