- This week’s American Athletic Conference schedule includes two weeknight prime time games on ESPN, including the first conference game of the season as Navy visits Memphis Thursday (7:30 p.m. ET). Friday’s ledger has UTSA against Army from the Alamodome in San Antonio (7 p.m. ET).
- The American’s Week 3 schedule includes three games against top-25 opponents on Saturday, including two home games. South Florida hosts No. 10/10 Alabama (3:30 ET, ABC), Tulsa hosts No. 19/16 Oklahoma (4 p.m. ET, ESPN2) and Florida Atlantic visits No. 25/21 Clemson (8 p.m. ET, ABC Network).
- UTSA played in front of a home crowd of 49,342 at the Alamodome for last week’s game against Texas State, marking the second-largest home attendance in program history.
- Navy’s 24-0 win against Wagner was the Midshipmen’s first shutout since a 34-0 decision against Army Dec. 6, 2008. It was Navy’s first shutout in Annapolis since a 7-0 win against Lafayette Oct. 15, 1994.
- Charlotte’s defense held its opponents without a touchdown for the six quarters of the 2023 season. Memphis has not allowed a touchdown on defense through two games — the two TDs scored by Tiger opponents have come off of offensive turnovers.
- Rice’s 43-41 double-overtime win against Houston gave the Owls the Bayou Bucket trophy for the first time since the 2010 season. Rice faces Texas State Saturday in its second consecutive game against a team from the city of Houston.
