The Navy Midshipmen hope to notch victory number eight when they host the 1-10 Temple Owls. Here's everything you need to know about the game along with a prediction....</p>

<p>...Temple has clearly imroved this season under Al Golden. Many were predicting a second straight winless season for Temple but the Owls handled Bowling Green a few weeks back. As long as the Mids are focused, they shouldn't have a problem with Owls. </p>

<p>Navy Boasts Top Rushing Attack In Division I-A</p>

<p>PHILADELPHIA - Temple, under the direction of first-year head coach Al Golden, travels to Annapolis, Md. to meet Navy, under the leadership of fifth-year mentor Paul Johnson, at 34,000-seat Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium Saturday in a 12:30 p.m. kick-off. Temple employs a multiple offense and a 3-4 defense. Navy utilizes a spread offense and a multiple defense. The contest will mark the season finale for the Owls, who will be looking to end their campaign on a positive note. Fifteen seniors have competed for the Owls this season. The contest will also mark the final home game for 31 Navy seniors.</p>

<p>Saturday's game will be televised by CSTV, with Pete Medhurst calling the action, Scott Zolak providing the commentary and Sheehan Stanwick Burch patrolling the sidelines. CSTV is available via DIRECTV (channel 610) and the Dish Network (channel 152) with the requisite package. The radio broadcast will air on WPHT 1210 AM with Harry Donahue issuing the play-by-play and Steve Joachim serving as analyst.</p>

<p>Temple has played 21 true freshmen thus far this season, the most in Div. I-A. Thirty-seven Owls have seen their first collegiate action this season, including five redshirt freshmen. In total, 68 different players have competed. Of those 68, 46 have two or more additional seasons of eligibility remaining after the 2006 campaign. </p>

<p>Temple (1-10) is coming off a 47-0 loss to Penn State (7-4) last Saturday afternoon in a steady rain at Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lion defense stifled the Owls, who generated just two first downs en route to 74 total yards. Temple committed five fumbles, losing two, in the soggy conditions and never advanced into PSU territory. Fifteen players with sophomore or freshman eligibility started for the Owls against a veteran Nittany Lion squad, as just six seniors and one junior earned the starting nod for TU. </p>

<p>Temple redshirt sophomore Travis Shelton had another productive day on returns, with 132 yards on five kickoffs, including a 42-yard return from deep in the end zone. In order to be included in the NCAA rankings, a player must compete in 75 percent of his team's games. If Shelton (50%) were eligible, he would lead the nation in all-purpose running (207.8), ahead of Northern Illinois' Garrett Wolfe (176.30) and would rank third in kickoff returns (31.24). </p>

<p>Navy (7-3) is coming off a 49-21 defeat of Eastern Michigan (1-9) at Ford Field in Detroit last Saturday afternoon. The Midshipmen jumped-out to a 28-0 advantage and generated 323 rushing yards, while scoring TDs on all six of their trips into the red zone. Sophomore QB Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada rushed for four scores and passed for two more as 12 different players were credited with rushing attempts for Navy. The Mids, who have not punted in their past two games, lead the nation in rushing, averaging 324.50 yards per game, as FB Adam Ballard (75.40) and SB Reggie Campbell (58.70) combine for 134.1 rushing yards per contest. Navy has already accepted an invitation to compete in the Meineke Car Care Bowl on Dec. 30 in Charlotte, N.C. </p>

<p>Saturday's game will mark the seventh meeting between the Owls and Midshipmen with Temple holding a 4-2 advantage in the series.</p>

Anthony Piccioni was told he was too small to play at Navy despite a decorated high school career. </p>

<p>The 5-foot-8, 212-pound linebacker from a small Western Pennsylvania town had decided long before that he wanted to be in the military and wanted to play for the Midshipmen. His path from Bishop Carroll High School in Ebensburg, Pa., to Annapolis was not an easy one....

Much has been said and written this season about Navy's stellar senior class.</p>

<p>Academy officials will honor 35 seniors during an on-field ceremony prior to tomorrow's final home game against Temple. A near-sellout crowd at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium will no doubt reserve its loudest cheers for such four-year standouts as linebacker David Mahoney, cornerback Keenan Little and wide receiver Jason Tomlinson....

There are 119 teams in Division I-A football. Navy's opponent on Saturday, Temple, enters with the 119th-ranked offense and 116th-ranked defense. They have played 21 true freshmen this year, the most in Division I-A. The defensive two-deep depth-chart features nine freshmen or redshirt freshmen. Generally, freshmen struggle to stop the option....

<p>Kaheaku-Enhada gains 140 rushing yards. </p>

<p>Nov. 18, 2006 </p>

<p>ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada ran for 116 yards and two touchdowns in the decisive first half, and Navy rolled to its third straight lopsided victory Saturday, 42-6 over woeful Temple.</p>

<p>Navy (8-3) amassed 298 yards in offense in building a 35-0 halftime lead. Kaheaku-Enhada finished with 140 yards rushing and completed three passes for 35 yards, and Shun White ran for 114 yards and two scores on only seven carries.</p>

<p>Over the past three weeks, Navy has outscored Duke, Eastern Michigan and Temple by a combined 129-40 score. The Midshipmen will next face Army on Dec. 2 before playing in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.</p>

<p>Temple (1-11) closed its first season under coach Al Golden with three straight losses. The youthful Owls averted a shutout when backup quarterback Vaughn Charlton threw a touchdown pass to Josh Bundy with 13:39 to go.</p>

<p>White answered with a 50-yard TD run.</p>

<p>Temple was outscored 496-131 this year, but its victory over Bowling Green last month enabled the struggling program to avoid a second straight winless season.</p>

<p>Navy took control immediately after the opening kickoff. The Midshipmen stopped Temple on a three-and-out, then covered 77 yards in nine plays to go up 7-0. Kaheaku-Enhada ran for 34 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown carry.</p>

<p>Kaheaku-Enhada scored on a 3-yard run late in the quarter for a 14-0 lead. The TD capped a 48-yard drive that included a 26-yard run by White.</p>

<p>Navy's next march produced another touchdown. Kaheaku-Enhada opened the drive with a 49-yard run after being flushed from the pocket. Four plays later, White scored from the 11 to make it 21-0 with 12:18 left in the half.</p>

<p>At that point, Navy held a 199-1 lead in rushing yards and a 10-0 advantage in first downs.</p>

<p>Eager to end a run of four straight three-and-outs, Golden kept his offense on the field on a fourth-and-1 from the Temple 41. An incomplete pass followed, and the Midshipmen made it 28-0 on a 9-yard run by Trey Hines.</p>

<p>Temple finally got its initial first down with 5:43 left in the half, on a 14-yard pass from Adam DiMichele to Tim Brown. But the Owls eventually turned the ball over on downs, and Navy's Byron McCoy scored his first career touchdown from the 1 in the final minute of the second quarter.</p>

<p>DiMichele went 9-for-18 for 74 yards and an interception. Temple finished with 13 yards rushing on 27 attempts.</p>

In its previous two lopsided victories this month, Navy pretty much ended any suspense by halftime. Saturday, on Senior Day against hapless Temple, the Midshipmen didn't even wait that long.</p>

<p>Showing no signs of looking ahead to their upcoming clash with Army, the Midshipmen completed a spotless November with their best home performance of the season by knocking out Temple early, then cruising to a 42-6 blowout before 33,927 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium....

By the time Temple picked up its initial first down against Navy yesterday, less than six minutes remained in the first half and Navy led by 28 points. It was that sort of afternoon as Navy celebrated the final home game for its 35 seniors with a 42-6 victory before 33,927 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.</p>

<p>Temple (1-11) was held without a first down on its first five possessions. In contrast, the first five possessions for the Midshipmen (8-3) resulted in four touchdowns....
