No. 6 Houston and its high-flying offense continues the march toward a potential spot in the College Football Playoff with a visit to Navy on Saturday.The winner of this game will have sole possession of first place in the American Athletic Conference West Division. The Cougars have rolled to five consecutive victories this season, but could face a tough test dealing with the Midshipmens triple option.Its totally different, Houston coach Tom Herman said about dealing with Navys offense. All the assignments, run fits and even where you line up on defense are different. We have had success against the run in previous games, but thats a conventional two back or spread run. We havent played a triple option run since Navy last year.Houston (5-0 overall, 2-0 AAC) beat Navy 52-31 last season en route to winning the AAC championship.The Cougars are led by quarterback Greg Ward Jr., who was named the AACs Offensive Player of the Week for the third time in five weeks. In Saturdays 42-14 win over Connecticut, Ward completed 32 of 38 passes for a career-high 389 yards with three touchdowns. Ward also ran for 65 yards with a pair of scores to keep Houston in full control.He took a couple pretty big time hits against Connecticut, Herman said about Ward. Stood in there. I was really proud. That is something Greg has never really done in his career; sit in the pocket and take a hit while youre throwing the football. Its kind of a double-edge sword because he doesnt have to a lot of the times. He can run around, make the guy miss and go make yards. He realizes for the offense to succeed that he needs to be able to make that kind of throws. Hes doing that now.Wide receiver Linell Bonner has been a key target for Ward and he 33 receptions for 439 yards with two touchdowns. Steven Dunbar also has made a big impact with 21 catches for 326 yards and also has two scores.Ward, however, can spread the ball around and six different receivers have caught touchdown passes so far this season.Everybody is held accountable, Dunbar said about Houstons talented group of receivers. Everybody works hard. On any given day somebody could have a bad day and the next guy just has to be ready. Thats just how we play. We work real hard. Its always on us about just going hard and playing hard.The Midshipmen (3-1, 2-0) will look to keep pace with their dominant ground attack, which averages 251.5 yards per game -- 14th best in FBS. Quarterback Will Worth took over the starting job when Tago Smith went down with a season-ending knee injury in the opener. Worth has been solid running the triple option, and has become the leader of the offense.In his first two career starts, Worth orchestrated late fourth quarter drives to give the Mids come-from-behind victories. On the season, Worth has completed 31 of 53 passes for 527 yards with a touchdown. He has also run for five scores.Nonetheless, Houston should be fully prepared to handle Navys ground game. The Cougars have the top-ranked rushing defense in the nation, allowing just 42 yards per game. Senior linebacker Steven Taylor leads the way with 27 tackles, including six for a loss and 5.5 sacks. Sophomore safety Garrett Davis has been a dominant force in the secondary and has four tackles for a loss with a sack.Its always competitive in our room, Houston defensive end Jerard Carter said.Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is one of the toughest places for any opponent. The Midshipmen have won 12 straight home games dating back to 2014.Houston has an impressive streak of its own, reeling off eight straight wins since last year -- the third longest run in the nation behind Alabama (17) and Tennessee (11). The Cougars have outscored their opponents 221-56 over that stretch.Navy is coming off a disappointing 28-14 loss to rival Air Force. Midshipmen head coach Ken Niumatalolo understands there is even a bigger challenge this week.Theyre ranked where they are for a reason, Niumatalolo said about Houston. Theyre just so good in so many places. A well-coached team with so many good players is a tough combination. Kaufen Air Max 270 Flyknit Herren/Damen Grün/weiß/Metallic Silber- Schweiz .

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts receiver Donte Moncrief returned to practice Wednesday and he said he would be surprised if he didnt play in Sundays game against the Kansas City Chiefs.Moncrief, the Colts No. 2 receiver behind T.Y. Hilton, has been out since injuring his shoulder in the first half against the Denver Broncos in Week 2.Never in my life missed any games -- this is the first one, Moncrief said. First time for everything. ... I ?thought it was just a stinger at first. I didnt know what was going on. Come to find out it was hurt worse than what I thought.Coach Chuck Pagano used the word hopeful when asked about Moncrief playing Sunday. Moncrief wont know how his shoulder responds to being hit until he plays in a game because the Colts dont tackle in practice.Conditioning wont be as big of an obstacle for Moncrief because he was able to maintain it to an extent while out because he was dealing with an upper injury.dddddddddddd He has also been a regular throughout, watching practice and attending games from the sideline.Every single day, those guys are out there, theyre in meetings, theyre going through the process as if theyre playing, Pagano said. And once they come back, they play well and they tend to play well because theyve taken the mental reps.Quarterback Andrew Luck could have all three of his top receivers back on the field against the Chiefs, as Moncrief wasnt the only receiver to return to practice for the Colts on Wednesday. Phillip Dorsett, who missed last weeks game against Tennessee with a hamstring injury, also returned.
