Horvath was highly efficient through the air (6/8, 168 yards) with a 63-yard TD pass and effective on the ground (72 yards, 2 TDs). His ability to execute both aspects of Navy's offense makes them dangerous and unpredictable for future opponents.

Navy completely shut out UAB in the second half after allowing 24 first-half points, forcing three turnovers including two interceptions. This shows their ability to make halftime adjustments and suggests they can be trusted to cover spreads when trailing at halftime.

Alex Tecza led rushing with 111 yards and scored the clinching TD, while Horvath added 72 yards. This two-headed rushing attack gives Navy multiple ways to control games and wear down defenses, especially important for their triple-option system.

Navy improved to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in AAC play while dealing with two hour-long weather delays in the first half. Their ability to maintain focus and execute after long delays shows mental toughness that could be valuable in future close games.

The three forced turnovers, particularly the two interceptions of UAB's Jalen Kitna, gave Navy's offense excellent field position. This defensive playmaking ability could be crucial in tighter games where field position battles matter more.

Memphis demonstrated excellent halftime adjustments, outscoring Georgia State 21-0 in the second half after leading just 17-16 at halftime. The Tigers controlled the game with methodical drives, including two long touchdown drives in the third quarter that each took significant time off the clock (5+ minutes each), showing their ability to wear down opponents.

Bodiford had a standout performance with two rushing touchdowns, including scores from both 7 yards and 1 yard out. His ability to punch in short-yardage touchdowns and contribute to sustained drives makes him a reliable red zone threat that opposing defenses will need to account for.

Ward recorded his second pick-6 in as many games with a 31-yard interception return for touchdown, establishing himself as a game-changing defensive back. This consistent big-play ability from the secondary provides Memphis with a defensive weapon that can quickly shift momentum and add points.

Memphis moved to 2-0 on the season with a convincing 22-point victory, showing they can pull away from opponents after competitive first halves. The Tigers' ability to close out games strong suggests good conditioning and coaching, which will be valuable as they face tougher competition.

The Tigers showed offensive diversity with Brendon Lewis contributing a 5-yard rushing touchdown alongside Bodiford's two scores, and Sutton Smith also finding the end zone in the first half. This multi-faceted ground game gives Memphis multiple options and makes them harder to defend.
